Change the windows language

hi,
First, sorry for my english but i'm Belgian from french community...
I buy a thinkstation s20 in germany and i received the workstation with windows vista 32 bit in german.
Is it possible to change the os language (german to french)?
Thanks,
Daf74

Hello everyone,
the change of language is available on Ultimate - that's how MS is positioning different versions of Windows.
You also do not get Multimedia Center support on some versions. That's a fact.
Also it is necessary to state that if you are not using Ultimate version you are not allowed to change language. That's what license says. Despite you can try tweking (as links above) or get set of Recovery DVDs with different language - it is not legal. Yes, from technical perspective it might work (also MS can put in place advanced Genuine check) it is not correct and legal.
Using diferrent language othe than you've bough is the same like downloading pirate copy from internet as us it - both are from MS perpective same crimes - illegal usage of their SW.

  • How to change the input language ?

    Hello,
    I am writing an Add-on that needs to change the input language when the user
    clicks on the Item Code field ("5") in the "Item Master Data" form.
    I can perform the change when I am out side of the SAP application (for example if I create a Windows Form), however I cannot control the input language of the SAP itself through code.
    I even tried using Application.Sendkeys, however I was unable to send a combination of ALT+SHIFT, or at least it did not have any affect
    Here is the code on how to change the input language on a Windows Form:
    For Each Lng As system.Windows.Forms.InputLanguage In system.Windows.Forms.InputLanguage.InstalledInputLanguages
       sValue = Lng.Culture.DisplayName.ToUpper()
       If sValue.StartsWith("ENGLISH") Then
                        system.Windows.Forms.InputLanguage.CurrentInputLanguage = Lng
                        Exit For
        End If
    Next
    Any ideas ?

    I am not sure I understand the problem. Anyway in B1 you change the language by
    changing it from the Administration module. This raises a Application event that
    is sent to all the add-ons. The event is aet_LanguageChanged and you should
    then change the language handled by your add-on when you receive it.

  • Unity 7: users want to change the TUI language

    Gents,
    I am implementing Unity 7.0 UM with Exchange in a multi-cultural environment. I installed 4 different languages (licensed) and set English by default.
    Is there a possibility for users to change the TUI language setting by themselves?
    Indeed, when they consult their voicemail box, they would like to hear their mothertongue instead of English. Is there a way for users to change this setting without a dedicated intervention of the Unity Admin, user by user?
    Thank you for your help.
    Best regards,
    Yorick

    Hello,
    Some of these setting are accessible in Cisco PCA tool to individual users to change their personal settings.
    Here is the guide and section that may be relevant to you:
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/partner/docs/voice_ip_comm/unity/5x/user/guide/assistant/ex/cuugasste050.html#wp1015021
    Changing the Language in Which You Hear the Cisco Unity Conversation
    This setting controls the language in which you hear the Cisco Unity  conversation. (Your Cisco Unity administrator sets the language in which  callers hear the Cisco Unity conversation.)
    To Change the Language in Which You Hear the Cisco Unity Conversation
    Step 1 In the Cisco Unity Assistant, from the  Preferences menu, click Phone Menu.
    Step 2 In the Language list, click the language  in which you want to hear the Cisco Unity conversation.
    Step 3 Scroll to the bottom of the page, and  click Save.
    Here are the directions for accessing PCA also contained in the doc I sent:
    Accessing the Cisco Unity Assistant Web Tool
    This section contains two procedures:
    •To  Access the Cisco Unity Assistant
    •To  Access Cisco Unity Assistant Help
    To Access the Cisco Unity Assistant
    Step 1 Go to http:///ciscopca. (The URL is case sensitive.)
    Timesaver Bookmark the Cisco PCA URL so you do not  have to enter the web address each time you want to access the  Cisco Unity Assistant web tool. (You cannot bookmark the page for the  Cisco Unity Assistant.)
    Step 2 Enter your credentials:
    User Name
    Enter the alias for your Windows domain account. (For example, enter  tcampbell or enter tcampbell@.)
    If you enter the full path for your alias (i.e. if you include the  domain), you do not need to complete the Domain field.
    Password
    Enter the password for your Windows domain account.
    If you cannot remember your Cisco PCA password, contact your Cisco Unity  administrator for assistance.
    Domain
    Enter the name of the domain in which your Windows domain account  resides.
    If you entered a full path for your alias in the User Name field, you do  not need to enter the domain name here.
    Step 3 Under Options, check any or all of the  following fields so that you do not have to re-enter your credentials  the next time you log on to the Cisco PCA:
    •Remember Username
    •Remember Password
    •Remember Domain
    Tip For security reasons, you may wish to  enter some or all of your Cisco PCA credentials each time you log on,  especially if you share a computer with others. (Depending on how  Cisco Unity is set up, the above options may not be available to you.)
    Step 4 On the Cisco PCA Home page, click the Cisco Unity Assistant link.
    Step 5 When you are ready, click Log Out in the top right corner of any Cisco Unity  Assistant page.
    Hope this helps.
    Thanks,

  • I have changed default language in the program & have set Language & region in system preferences. My Word (Mac2011) keeps on changing the default language to US english every time I check. Please help!

    I have changed default language in the program & have set Language & region in system preferences. My Word (Mac2011) keeps on changing the default language to US english every time I check. Please help!

    If you're having trouble making changes to files that are inside your home folder (represented by a house icon in the sidebar of a Finder window), or if you can't get changes to the settings of an application to stick, then please see below.
    Back up all data.
    This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
    I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, they may not work as described.
    Step 1
    If you have more than one user, and the one in question is not an administrator, then go to Step 2.
    Triple-click anywhere in the following line on this page to select it:
    { sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR..; sudo chown -R $UID:staff ~ $_; sudo chmod -R u+rwX ~ $_; chmod -R -N ~ $_; } 2>&-
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
    You'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
    The command may take a few minutes to run, or perhaps longer if you have literally millions of files in your home folder. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear, then quit Terminal.
    Step 2 (optional)
    Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1, if you prefer not to take it, or if it doesn't solve the problem.
    Boot into Recovery. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
    Utilities ▹ Terminal
    from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open.
    In the Terminal window, type this:
    res
    Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
    resetpassword
    Press return. A Reset Password dialog will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
    In the dialog, select the startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if it's not already selected.
    Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if it's not already selected.
    Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
    Select
     ▹ Restart
    from the menu bar.

  • Photoshop CS5 changes the keyboard language to Thai

    So the problem is that very often the keyboard language is changed to Thai, but only inside Photoshop. Anywhere else in Windows I can still type in Latin alphabet. It seems to come completely randomly - I use my regular shortcuts and keys when I'm working, and suddenly I notice that any shortcut to any tool is not working anymore so I check by opening the text tool and can only write in Thai alphabet. Even when saving the file it only inputs Thai.
    It's very irritating since right now I have only moved the problem a bit by restarting Photoshop, so when working with huge files it takes some time to save and load again.
    I don't recall whether I ever even changed my Windows language to Thai on this PC since I don't even have the language bar visible, but Thai is regularly being used on my laptop - don't know how Photoshop would get it from there so probably just a funny coincidence.

    Photoshop can't change the keyboard mapping:  it has no such code or capability.
    But you may have accidentally set something in the OS to automatically change the keyboard layout when in Photoshop.

  • Visual Studio 2013 crash when I attempt to change the Design Language

    I have a localized Windows Forms application. When I attempt to change the Design Language from German to anything else Studio hangs. Where is this setting persisted so I can manually edit the setting outside of Studio? This is in VS 2013.
    AliciaV

    Hi AliciaV,
    Thank you for posting in the MSDN forum.
    When I attempt to change the Design Language from German to anything else Studio hangs.
    Could you share us a screen shot about the settings where you change the design language? Do you mean that you change it under the TOOLS->Options like the following screen shot?
    We often change the default language like the above screen shot.
    Reference:
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms246590.aspx
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/kycbhy5d.aspx
    If so, the real issue we need to check is that why the VS crash.
    To make sure that whether it is your Environment issue or the VS IDE issue:
    Please run your VS in safe mode, check it again.
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms241278.aspx
    Please run your VS as the admin.
    Please also close other processes or third party tools in your windows, and make sure that your task manager is free. Remove/disable all add-ins in your VS IDE.
    Please also install the VS2013 Update 2.
    In addition, you also need to make sure that you installed the specific language package:

  • How to change the UI language to Italian?

    I am trying to make a small plugin/script for Italian langauge, It is supposed to work and be used when the system locale is Italian.
    Currently, I am doing my development on my WIndows 7 machine, that has locale set as English. How do I change the UI language to Italian or as a matter of fact - chinese/russian and so on, such that I can test/verify my plugin.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated - I am stuck with the testing part and not sure how a language change should work.

    Ah, yes, CS6 is the odd one out, I had heard that. I haven't change the UI language since CS5 by the looks of it. CS6 does have a field for a language setting:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Adobe\DefaultLanguage\CS6\AdobeProductLanguage
    but changing it doesn't have any effect (not that I can see, anyway). What that key does is a mystery to me. The value I see is en_US, but my CS6 installation is en_GB (which I see in the folder structure).

  • Language of Webdynpro after changing the Portal Language

    Hi All,
    Even after changing the portal language from for ex. English to French, the webdynpro is still displayed in English language.
    If this session (portal window) is closed and new portal session is started, then the webdynpro is displayed in French.
    Also please note that, for iviews built using Portal HTMLB (like JspDynPages), restarting the session is not necessary.
    Any answer/solution/pointers/SAP Notes supplied is greatly appreciated.

    Hi,

    The Blog at /people/bertram.ganz/blog/2007/01/08/the-top-12-hottest-sap-notes-every-web-dynpro-java-developer-must-know talks about this Note.
    3rd point mentions about "Language change in the portal (through portal personalization) does not get immediately reflected in the Web Dynpro iViews?"
    Hope this solves your query.

    Any suggest?

    If you have the languages enabled in Language & Text / Language, and the appropriate keyboards enabled in Language & Text / Input sources, then ⌘-space and ⌥-⌘-space are indeed the shortcuts to switch between inputs.

  • How to change the default language?

    How to change the default language of the Ubuntu desktop and of the Firefox program to Norwegian or Danish?

    While this isn't the appropriate venue to ask about changing the default language in Ubuntu, the snide forum link above lazily fails to address the Firefox language issue, and unfortunately this link now comes up on the first page of google searches about the default language in firefox.
    To change Firefox's default language, go to Edit -> Preferences -> Content, and click the "Choose" button under the Languages heading.
    To change the default language of your spell checker, right click on any text area and find the "Languages" entry in the menu, then select the language of your choice.

  • Is there a way to change the Windows Update service startup type on Windows Server 2012 R2?

    We have a number of newly built 2012 R2 servers that we have HP Operations Manager agent running on that monitors the status of several services and reports if they are "stopped". One of these services is Windows Update. Every day we
    get at least one alert saying:
    "Service "Windows Update" is not started. Current state is stopped"
    Checking the event logs shows that the Windows Update service stops, then a while later it just starts again. Not an error, just an information event.
    In Windows 2012 R2 the Windows Update service is set to "Automatic (Trigger Start)", where in previous versions we run (2012/2008R2) it would be set to just "Automatic" or "Automatic (Delayed Start)"
    I have come to understand that this behaviour is normal for Windows 2012 R2, and that Trigger Start services by design stop themselves after a period of inactivity. I was unable to find any info on how this works. Our client would like this to
    be changed and the Windows Update service stay running all the time, understanding that this impacts performance.
    Is there a way to change the Windows Update service in Server 2012 R2 to the old Automatic startup behaviour so that it stays running all the time instead of stopping and starting periodicall? There is no option to do this via the services mmc
    gui.
    So far I have tried:
    Removing the Triggers using the command: sc triggerinfo wuauserv delete
    This works temporarily, the service then shows as just Automatic in the services console, however if you restart the server or restart the service it goes right back to being Automatic (Trigger Start).
    Any kind of help would be appreciated.

    This one might help.

  • Is it possible to change the default language of a computer remotely?

    Hi
    Is it possible to change the default language of a computer remotely?
    We have Apple Remote desktop and network home folders with managed prefs but i don't seem to be able to use either of these to change the default language of all of our macs to "British English".
    is there a UNIX command that can do this?

    The simple way is via the Internationalization settings via ARD or RDP or Screen Sharing, either via System Preferences or (if enabled) via the menu bar. If you're looking for a lower-level approach, there's not AFAIK a direct command for this. As for one possible approach, might [threadID=2106201|http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2106201] help?

  • I can't change the display language on my HP Color LaserJet CP1518ni

    I have a HP Color LaserJet CP1518ni printer that I inherited from an employee who is no longer at the company. The display screen on the printer is not showing in English, it's in some language I do not recognize (and neither does anyone else). I want to change the display language to English but the manual only shows you how to do that on the display, which I cannot read because it's not in English, hence my dilemma. Does anyone know of a way to change the display language through the computer?
    Thanks

    InventoryLady,
    Yes that is what I did.  I do not know the language that it is currently set at, so the recommendations were from using the front panel menu. The OK button is the OK button on the front panel, that would not be in another language, it is the button in between the left and right arrow- See image below #6:
    Once you have hit the OK button, you can complete the steps in my earlier recommendation. Again because I do not know which language it is currently set at, I am guiding you the best I can. As for selecting the English language, I suggest using Google Translate to find out which language it is currently set at and see what their word for English is.
    If you have any more questions, please let me know.
    Thanks,
