I live in Spain and bought my wife a laptop. She is having trouble with the language and wants to change it to English, I am a bit annoyed at having to buy an English copy of Vista. Especially after watching an MS promotion video of how they are working to cover the need of using multiple languages, why the step back in Vista then ? It is an Acer laptop and also has programs pre-loaded and a backup restore installed etc. If I buy the English vista, do I have to do a clean install to get English Vista on, or just load it as a repair, and will it need re-activating etc ? If it does need a clean install then I will lose everything that has been pre-installed and and will be an expensive experience.
I Bought A New Vaio With Operating System Interface Language In French. Vista Home Premium. Because In France They Sell Only French O.s. Vista (not Office, Vista Itself) How Can I Change The Vista Interface (start Button-programs-menus) Language From French To English?
There are also various spelling mistakes (e.g. "center" for centre, "color" for colour) in the user interfaces. This appears to be a fault also in MS Office, which claims to take its UI language from the Windows locale but in the case of English this doesn't work. The interface language appears to be American.

I am english but live in spain just bought a new laptop with vista basic and its all in spanish. unfortunatly my spanish is not that good is there anyway of changing it into english.
After Vista and Office installation and update, I tried to EASY TRANSFER from my old laptop all data. It was not able to make the transfer because the old laptop (hp Presario) was running in other language (English XP)
There was no WARNING that once one language is selected it can not go back and select the other. There was no WARNING that to make the EASY TRANSFER Vista and XP must run in the same language. EASY TRANSFER is essential for my job (emails, addresses, favourites w passwords and many others) Please give me a solution. Otherwise I can not use it for the reason I have bought it.
Why does this not say American and why is English not available. 70% of words Highlighted have the correct spelling and mail simply wants to use the American corruptions. In virtually every other Microsoft product we have both English (American) and English (True or UK as normally quoted). Why not in this product after all Americans only make up some 4 or 5% of the world population?
I'm currently living in France and recently purchased an Acer computer here, with Vista Home Premium pre-installed. I'd assumed that I'd be able to select English as the display language but, apart from being able to select an English keyboard, everything is in French. If necessary, I'll live with this (it's a way of improving my French) but, if I could do it at reasonable cost, I'd like to convert it to English.
Purchsing the full English version is out of the question, as is upgrading to French Vista Ultimate and downloading an English language pack. Purchasing the English Home Premium Upgrade would have been OK, but I believe that this won't work with my current French version. An upgrade DVD was included with the computer, which appears to require payment on-line; I assume that this would be French also, so it's of no use to me......
I have Vista Home Premium and the American English spell checker is driving me wild! What I really need is the UK English spell checker that I had with XP
I'm looking to get a new OS w/new build. What is/are the difference's between upgrade, OEM and just English DVD? The prices are as follows; upgrade = $219, OEM = $199, English DVD = $319 and are from Tiger direct. This is for the Ultimate OS and some prices are reflecting sales and rebates. I understand the upgrade is overlaying new OS over the old OS but the other two confuse me. So with a new build what would be best?
Received mail from Israel in the form of question marks. How do I convert it to a readable form, either Hebrew or English. Tried to encode to Western European and hebrew but it did not work.
I have a German Windows Vista on my computer. It is factory-installed, as I bought the computer in Germany. Is it possible to convert the Windows to English?
I've got my newsreader to re-read all newsgroups, but haven't found an (English) one for Windows 7. (I found microsoft.public.it.windows7(italian) point me to the English one?
Microsoft seems to have hidden the UK English dictionary in Windows Live Mail. After Googling around for info I decided to automate the installation and have written a small program to so. If you want to try it out get it here:
I have recently bought a new computer from acer with vista and it came with a posiblility to upgrade to win7 (http://www.acer.com/windows7upgrade), but i have a slight problem.
I need to specify which language vista is installed inn or it won't work, i figured it would be norwegian (as i am from norway), but allmost all the menus are in english as well as everything in the start menu ("Computer" instead of "Datamaskin" etc...).
I was wondering if there is an easy way to figure out which language the OS is installed in.

I had seen a similar topic at this forum before, but I can't find it. I am looking for a way allowing me to type in Chinese in this keyboard. I looked up the Vista "help" section. I am supposed to download the Language Interface Pack (LIP) first. However, when I went to the MS web site and clicked on the map that said "Asia", Chinese language was NOT on the list. The Whole Asia continent! Go figure ! The method I saw before in this forum was very different than the "help" section.
I added Korean as other input language on Vista home premium system. I do see korean language bar appeared on my screen, but it won't just let me type in korean.
The installer states that I have the wrong language or wrong language packs installed. However, no language packs are installed that I can find, and installation itself is us english, albeitly with swedish regional settings.
When I stated that no language packs are installed, this is because no language packs are listed in the program list. It might have been installed as an update, but that list contains 79 updates with absolutely no details except KB numbers, and I'll be damned if I'm gonna lookup 79 KB articles manually to see if one of them is a language pack.
As language packs were so easily installed (as an option offerered thorugh windows update, and not as stand-alone installation like it was with XP and such, I just can't believe that MS don't support language packs more fluently than this)
I have Vista ultimate right? I go to Microsoft site cause I want the Korean IME since I am korean. But, the language pack says that its not compatible. Yes I have tried SP2 compatibility mode.
