Converting German OS X to English

I can get the machine I want from a local discount supplier for 300 bucks less than from the Apple store, where the OS X is available in English. The discount supplier, though, has the OS X pre-installed only in German, but my German isn't very good and would like the operating system in English. Is it possible to convert the German OS to English from the installation DVD that I assume will come with the machine? Or is it possible to install an English OS version over the German version?

Once you purchase the computer, you can reinstall OS X in any one of at least 16 languages....including English.

    I think you need to have values for german in your table to get the greman content.
    But you can have an option to change repository text for a table using transaction code <b>SE63.</b>
    For this Click on Translation->Repository texts.
    It will display list of reposotiy text that you can do translation.

  • German smart quotes on English UI

    Hi,
    I need to write German letters on my MacBook Air, whose language settings are set to English (US). The problem is that even when spell check is set to German, the smart quotes still appear as the should in the English language. I originally was a Windows user and when I use MS Word to type, it automatically detects document language and formats text accordingly. The following is what shows up when I use Word on Windows:
    „Guten Morgen“, sagte der Bäcker.
    “Good morning”, said the baker.
    When I use any writing software on Mac, though, it shows up like this (and even in retrospect, there doesn't seem to be a way to change it):
    “Guten Morgen”, sagte der Bäcker.
    “Good morning”, said the baker.
    I understand that in OS X, software-specific language settings depend on the system language. Coming from Windows, I'm surprised that there is no way to set document language in OS X. Or is there?
    What do I need to do to type a German letter, complete with all German symbols, but without having to switch system language every time? I'm sure I'm not the only one with this problem, but I could not find any good ideas on how to solve my problem. I hope you can help me.
    Best wishes.
    Nils

    How about an OS X service that works in any application, and will place Gänsefüßchen around any selected text string. What if you selected the text, and then pressed control+Q, and the quotes were inserted around the selected text? You may also find this a useful tool.
    Open Automator, New Document, and Service.
    In the left Automator panel select Library > Utilities > Run AppleScript.
    Drag and drop the Run AppleScript action into the larger workflow window to the right.
    Select and remove the contents of that Run AppleScript window.
    Copy/Paste the AppleScript code from below into the Run AppleScript window
    Click the hammer in the Run AppleScript toolbar
    Service receives text from any application
    Output replaces selected text
    Automator > File > Save...
    Give your script a meaningful name. I called mine Gänsefüßchen.
    It is written into your <login>/Library/Services folder
    In System Preferences > Keyboard > Shortcuts > Services
    Scroll down in the right window until your assigned service name appears
    On the right side where it says none, click once, and it will change to an add shortcut button.
    Type control and Q which will appear as ^Q. Press return. Exit System Preferences.
    Exit any running application where you might use this. Then restart the application.
    With your text selected, press control+Q to get the Gänsefüßchen.This service item appears under Application Name > Services too.
    Automator Service Gänsefüßchen
    AppleScript code
    on run {input, parameters}
      -- we want to insert german quotes around the selected text
      tell application "System Events"
      set links_zitat to "„"
      set recht_zitat to "”"
      set german_quotes to ""
      set german_quotes to links_zitat & input & recht_zitat
      set input to german_quotes
      end tell
      return input

  • Windows 7 German version vs US English version conversion via MUI integration

    I need a install media for German Windows 7, but I only have a copy of the English version. I have successfully integrated German into the WIM file image, and install setup prompts for German, after installation, for example, home premium, the only language
    avaiable is german, but does this make it real german version that can be activated in Germany? (English is automatically removed by Task scheduler in Windows setup after installation) Can a product key from Germany activate this image I make?

    I dont think it'll work for home prem. version.

  • Default Software Language is German - Should be in English !!!

    I have recently purchased a writers software which is advertised in the Apple iMac App Store
    in English and is supposed to be in English, however the default language is German.
    It is Nisus Writer Pro.  The entire software has been translated into German.  All commands
    and so on are in the German language.  One can type documents in English, however I want to have the
    English edition as advertised.
    If an apple customer goes into the App Store and reads the information about Nisus Writer Pro
    it is all in English.  The customer is not warned that it has been translated into German and a German version
    will be downloaded.  Normally one should be able to purchase an English language software product as advertised in the Apple
    App Store or have a choice with regard to the default language.  I am writing my documents in English and
    wish to have the software in English as is advertised.
    The software costs aroung 70 Euro.
    What now?

    PS To run an app in English while your OS is running in German, you can use

  • German language changed into english after upgrade but wont re-change

    the option in settings is still on german but the whole iTunes is english after i upgraded to the 7.4.3.1 version.
    whats that?

    I need to be sure I haveunderstood correctly.
    You know that if you go to Edit>>Preferences>General you can set your language, then you have to restart iTunes for the change to take effect.
    So you have set you language to Genrman and it stays in English?
    Something that has worked for someone esle is to do a repair install of iTunes.
    Go to Control Panel>>Add remove programs.
    Select iTunes and press Change. Then Choose repair.

  • Assign German keyboard layout to English input source?

    I have a MacBook Pro with a German keyboard layout (physical). If I change the input source to US English, Mac would not recoginze the German keyboard layout (i.e. it prints Z when I press Y). Is there a way to assign German keyboard layout to the US English input source? So I can type English using the physical German keyboard.
    The reason why i need US English input source is MS Office for Mac automatically changes the proofing language based on the input source.
    i have ukelele installed but am not sure the best way to do it.

    jimsway wrote:
    So I guess I have to change the keyboard layout.
    Nobody does that as far as I know. How about Tools > Language to change the language of your doc to whatever you want?
    http://www.dummies.com/how-to/content/word-2011-for-mac-changing-the-dictionary- to-a-dif.html
    Plus for the default template if you want
    "Open a blank document. On the Tools menu choose language. Choose the language version you want to use. Click the DEFAULT button to change that to the default language. Close the dialog and then quit Word. When prompted whether you want to save changes to the Normal template (that's the default template), choose yes, you do want to save the changes."

  • Convert InDesign ME file to English?

    Hi,
    I received an InDesign (Middle Eastern Edition) file from a client. Since I only have the English version of InDesign, I can't edit the text and story direction (see this blog post). Is there a way to convert this file?
    Any help is appreciated.
    Thanks!

    You shouldn't have a problem viewing or editing the text. But to use middle eastern features (like paragraph and character direction) you will need to purchase a plugin that gives you access to those features on the English version.
    In-tools.com has a plugin called WorldTools that does this.
