Windows 7 Change Language Chinese To English
Melissa Hassel
I tried the regional options way. I can see English in that. But even after selecting that, its still in Chinese. Except for a few things its all in Chinese. I would want to change the entire thing to English instead of Chinese.
Well this is probably the best time to get round to purchasing one, prices these days for windows xp are not to bad, you can pick one up relatively cheaply, you will find that eventually you will require a windows xp disk anyway, so may as well get it sorted now, try looking on ebay or amazon for the best prices
The problem you have is that MS released a seperate Chines edition of XP which appears to be what you have installed, as it is a different version to the one shipped elsewhere it can only be used in Chinese.
If you want to use English (or another supported language), you will need to purchase a new copy of Windows XP and ensure that it is the English edition (as most copies may only be Chinese in your region).
If I remember rightly this does all languages and allows you to change all Winodws menus help etc to different languages. I know that it will change from English to Chinese but I am not 100% certain it will do it the other way.
As Nick said you will not be able to change everything to english because it is a Chinese edition of XP this limits what regional settings can be changed and why only parts appear in english and other things like menus will stay in chinese, get hold of a english edition of windows xp install that and problem solved
thanks a lot for all the replies and advices. so i guess i need to install XP again correct. but the one I have is an OEM version and I dont have the CD. So if i purcahse a fresh CD of XP, I will be able to install without any problem correct.
The way described does work, I did have all the information in arabic despite the fact the system was with french a language paramaeter. In order to get it in french did change the region first United States, did log off and log on, received information in english. then did repaeated the manipulation, but this time use as region France, log off and and log in again and this time get everything in Franch.
I have exactly same situation. Living in Belgium with languages set in Windows as English first and French second. The widgets page appears in Dutch ! Going through the 'instellingen' (yes, you have to know the dutch for 'settings') temporarily changes the language on the MSN website, but not on the widgets page.
For me this Widgets page is a big fail. I could have a use for the calendar and weather, but the MSN clickbait news are just an annoying distraction, and of course, you can remove all widgets except the news!
@cpsharp I have the same issue. I live in Hungary, I use the system in hungarian. But for some reason, widgets are is some language I'm not even familiar with. Not even the letters... maybe some arabic stuff?
I get that there are workarounds, but this is somethings, that would REALLY need solving very soon, as Win11 is out. This is not a beta build, but the final :D
@ovancantfort It seems the region settings control the widgets language, such as the newsfeed. Though I prefer to keep my region as Japan, but still read the news in English. I wish Windows 11 had an option for this, or had set the widgets language to the display language.
I have bound the Norwegian keyboard layout to Shift+Alt+0 and that works, but it's annoying to have to do that every 5 minutes. Also I find it weird that I can't see the language bar neither on the desktop nor on the toolbar.
In Windows 10, by default, pressing CTRL+SHIFT (or for some ALT+SHIFT - thanks madmenyo ) will cycle through any keyboard layouts that you might have mapped and it's surprisingly easy to do this by mistake.
Be warned, the above doesn't always work - Restarts and Sleep mode can both change keyboard default (usually to US) - I've found no cast-iron solution though creating a new profile can help, though not a particularly satisfactory answer IMHO.
(This works for me because I generally type in English, only sometimes I want to input in Polish, but I can do it without changing the keyboard, since Polish keyboard is fully compatible with US QWERTY).
As @GuneyOzsan mentioned, some language/keyboard configurations might show only in language bar, but not in the language settings keyboards list (so you cannot remove it) -- particularly, this happens after a major update of Windows.To remove one of those items (e.g.: lang=US, keyboard=Canada), you have to add the same exact combination of the item you want to delete via the language settings list, and then remove it:
The default settings are very easy to hit, when using the keyboard, thus suddenly changing the keyboard language. Changing the keys to "Not Assigned" will prevent the keyboard language from switching accidentally.
Turns out I had to configure a keyboard layout in the first screenshot. You'll notice it says "Keyboard: None available". So clicking "Options" here, then "Add an input method" and then selecting QWERTY Norwegian solved the case.
My problem: I have 3 languages (keyboard layouts) installed. When going to sleep in Windows 10, then waking up, it always defaults back to the "main language", instead of keeping the last one set. I consider this a bug.
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!
Restart the Unit and keep tapping the F10 Key.
After you log into BIOS Setup, move to 4th Tab on the right and Press Enter key.
This should bring up the language menu and you will be able to change it accordingly.
I read the response completely. Superb effort and fabulous persistence displayed to try and resolve the issue. Kudos to you on that score. As @A4Apollo is out of office for the day, I am jumping in to assist you here.
It took me a long time to get to it - but today I finally did. The HP support page for my model offers a new BIOS version (A0.12) from May 18th 2017 (shortly after my original post). I downloaded it and when I run it, it asks me:
I don't really understand the difference, but since the support page for the 500-512ng lists the latest BIOS as "A0.12", I tried this one first. The computer restarted and immediately entered BIOS update mode (in German...). It failed because the update's image "failed the test" (my translation from German).

Hi! I'm just concerned about changing the system language of my laptop since I changed everything in the Settings > Language sections part of the system and changed everything that I see to English. But there are still some icons and my system still sees Chinese as the default as is seen in when I type lpksetup in CTRL + R. It says I can't remove Chinese because it's the main system language of my laptop. Is there any fix to changing that? It's kinda irritating to see some in English, and some in Chinese when I can't even speak Chinese. Thank you!
I had a concern about the language settings. I was changing my language settings and it asked me to sign out so that the language could be downloaded so I do so and now it won't let me sign back in it just continues to reset to a default account I've lost all of the information on my computer and I don't know how to get it back to normal.

Hi,
Even if you change the display language, some text in menus and dialog boxes for some programs might not be in the language that you want. This happens because the program might not support Unicode.
Follow the steps below to change the system locale:
Click Start
Type Control Panel in search bar and click on it
Click Region and Language
Click Administrative tab
Click Change system locale tab (If you're prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation)
From drop down menu, check and make sure the language is selected as you require and click OK
Restart computer and check.
