Change Language Laptop Windows 7
Shelly Takacs
I bought an Acer laptop in Germany and during setup it only offered German, so I was forced to go through setup in German. But once Windows properly started, I went into settings-language and changed it to English in all the places it's possible to do so. After some restarts and then deleting the German language, it should now be fully English. Most things are in English, but not everything. I'd say it's maybe 95% English. For example, if I click restart, the restarting message comes up in German. If I choose to restart in Safe Mode, the entire safe mode experience is in German. Here's a screenshot of another example. I was installing Firefox from the English FF installer. It got an error with the visual C run time dll and the error came up in German. I deliberately showed my language settings in the background and moved the dll error over it so it's clear to see that everything is set to English.
By the way, after having added English as another language, I tried going to Reset PC and went through that process and I was offered English as an initial setup language. Now that gave me more English, perhaps 98% but the install was bad - I couldn't open Settings any more. It would just crash on load. Tons of tips out there on how to fix Settings crashing on Windows 11 but none of them worked. So I was forced to re-install in German and then switch to English which is where I'm at now.
Thanks ze sk, that worked perfectly. I now see in English on restarting and on the welcome screen. I won't know about system errors until one happens, but they're pretty rare anyway. I would vote this as the answer but it seems like you can't vote a comment as the answer.
I had a simular problem. We are a swedish buisness with some empleyees in Germany. So they came to us with their computers and we had to install them in swedish so we could understand what we were doing, and as a last thing to do before handing over the devices was to change the language. But yeah, only like 85% was done and all applications that we installed before language changed had to be re-installed.
What Adiministrative language settings shows? (this should run intl.cpl)
i.e. the "Welcome screen and new user accounts" settings
if all don't say English United States, then check the boxes to copy your current settings
What I'm trying to achieve here is for Microsoft to acknowledge/accept that their process for switching languages is incomplete. There are thousands of threads findable by Google of people reporting this but it's not being fixed. A clean install is hardly a realistic suggestion - it's a big inconvenience, especially if you've gone to the trouble of installing and configuring a lot of applications already.
You can only install in any language when the installation procedure offers you that opportunity. With a full multi-language iso file, that's true. With a manufacturer customized pre-install from a foreign country, that isn't always an option. The initial setup did NOT offer anything other than German. My first attempt involved completing the setup in German, adding English, seeing that it was only 95% English and finding the Reset PC feature and trying again. At THAT point, it DID offer me English (because I'd added it) and following that setup it did give me an English install. The trouble was that the settings would always crash on open. This is also an issue reported thousands of times (google "windows 11 settings crash" and you'll see them all. There are about 5 ways people suggest to fix it, none of them worked.
So I figured a 95% English/5% German installation that was working was better than a 100% English installation that had broken settings so I did my third Windows install in German and added English and removed German to get me to where I am now.
I just want to report it so that maybe one day it'll be fixed. Changing language should change language 100%, otherwise display the option as "change most of the language but not everything - yes/no".
Thanks, but most of those are Windows 10 links. The Windows 11 ones are not really helpful. They just tell me how to do what I already did. I know I could download a full English ISO of Windows 11 and install from that but then I'd not have any of the drivers/tools that came with the laptop from the manufacturer.
I'm really looking for Microsoft to accept that when you change a language, it's not doing it completely. It's missing some key features that are left in the original language. A fix tool and eventual Windows Update that catches them all would be what's needed.
This 2nd option clashes with some of my other shortcuts (mainly sublime text), and I can't find where/how to disable it. I remember it was possible in previous versions of windows where you could select the shortcut for changing languages.
You are now ready to use the new language. The display language changes will now reflect throughout the operating system, including the Sign-in screen, Settings app, File Explorer, Desktop, applications, browser so on.
Windows 10 allows you to download and install language packages to change the language of the operating system on your computer. Use the instructions below to change your language settings in Windows 10.

No more changing the system language that influence the windows.No more R only but fail in Rstudio. No more run a script every time manually. No more admin right but fail. No more short-cut setting but fail.
If you are interested in changing the behaviour of functions that refer to one of these elements (e.g strptime to extract dates), you should use Sys.setlocale().See ?Sys.setlocale for more details.In order to see all available languages on a linux system, you can run
The only thing that worked for me was uninstalling R entirely (make sure to remove it from the Programs files as well), and install it, but unselect Message Translations during the installation process. When I installed R, and subsequently RCmdr, it finally came up in English.
Change your current regional format to a different regional format in region settings on time&language settings in Windows by clicking on your time/date in lower right corner > adjust time/date > Region > change regional format to UK or US
Im using R Studio on a Mac and I couldn't find the Rconsole file. So I took a more brutal way and just deleted the unwanted language files from the R app.You just have to go to your Rapp in your application Folder, right click, show package content then /contents/Resources/. There are the language files e.g. English.lproj or in my case de.lproj wich I deleted. After restarting R, error messages appear in English..Maybe thats helpful!
Of course, you should do the above things in your current version of R. The version I use now is R-4.3.1.This is the advice that Professor John Fox (the author of R Commander) gave me several years ago. Thank you, Professor!
I had to fix this problem after I purchased one of the very first Raspberry Pi's made (Operating system was written in England, so the keyboard layout was wrong). As noted above, first make sure that you didn't get a laptop made for a different country (American keyboard has a @ above the 2. British keyboard has a " above the 2). If it is correct (@ above the 2), then you need to fix the keyboard layout in the Operating System. So, assuming you have the an @ above the 2, go to:
start > settings > time & language > region & language > click on the language under languages > options > add a keyboard > add the keyboard that you want (Guessing US QWERTY in your case) > select that keyboard as your default.
There should be two letters at the end of the model number. Is it a USA keyboard? Is there an @symbol above the number "2" key? As a temporary workaround you can use the "onscreen keyboard" just type onscreen in the text box at the left of the task bar, bring up the onscrren keyboard and try shift + 2.
Thank you! On the key itself, the @ symbol appears above the 2 key ... so I am assuming (dangerous word!) that this is a USA keyboard. All of these computers are made now in China, so who knows? Anyway ... after hours of frustration, I took the computer into my local computer fix-it shop and asked them to set it up for me. I was experiencing other problems, as well ... more so than I was prepared to handle. I sincerely appreciate your attempt to reach out and help!
From this answer: After adding the desired languages (by navigating to Settings -> Regional & Language), you can use the default keyboard shortcut which is Super+Space ("super" is another name for the Windows key), or you can click on the top bar menu:
Goto the Keyboard Layout Options window I could select Key(s) to change layout and mark the binding of my choice. I use Shift + CapsLock to toggle the layout from the keyboard itself without having to use mouse cursor to select the required layout from the panel indicator. The same key combo seemed to work to serf through or select between multiple layouts. (But in Ubuntu 13.10 it wasn't so easy.)
