English Windows on Japanese G20?

Hey Chaps,
I live in Tokyo and want to buy a Q20. The problem: They all come with Japanese software - which I don't understand.
Does anybody have experiences in installing an English Windows version to a Japanese Qosmio G20?
The Japanese version seems to have at least a different HDD - probably others aren't 100% identical either. Can I use the drivers that I find on the European Toshiba-pages? If yes: any idea in which order I need to install them?
Any idea is most appreciated - thanks!!!!!!! (REALLY keen on getting one of these fancy things.... ;)

Hi,
I don't know if you can get a japanese notebook with english software, but it's no problem to install it. As the machine is basically the same all around the world, you can use the european drivers and programs. You need a full version of Windows from Microsoft. The rest of the software can be downloaded from the european Toshiba website and there you can also find the installation instructions.
Bye

Using Japanese version of Adobe Reader (9 or 10) on English Windows XP?

Our users have Windows XP SP3 English with the Windows XP Japanese MUI installed. Up until now we have been using the English Adobe Reader 8 with the Japanese Font pack. I am just curious if there would be any problems with using the Japanese version of Adobe Reader 9 or 10 (still deliberating which version to upgrade users to). on the English language client OS (which has the Japanese XP MUI installed). This would save us having to deploy the Adobe Reader Japanese font pack and manage it.
I have tried installing it as such and it appears to work but I wonder if any issues may appear long term. Appreciate any advice. Thanks.

Here is the Recommended Path
Reader 9.5.0 -> 9.5.1 (Quarterly)-> 9.5.2 (Quarterly)
Please slso consider the article mentioned below for Reader Deployment

Installing an English version on Japanese OS

I chose to doanload an English trial version (from the US site) to my laptop that is running a Japanese OS. When running the AdobeDownloadAssistant it installed the Japanese version instead of English one.
How can I select the English version during the installation?

Some installers do that; sometimes setting the system locale to Japanese on English Windows will also install the software with the Japanese MUI.
What is the product you are trying to install? You may have better luck if you use the direct download from http://prodesigntools.com/tag/ddl instead of the download assistant.

EvtFormatMessage function fails with error code 15033 (ERROR_EVT_MESSAGE_LOCALE_NOT_FOUND) on non-English Windows OS

I have an App which subscribes to Windows events and if it is matching the filter criteria, it reports it.
I have observed a strange problem on non-English windows 2008 OS.
If the Windows event is of source = EventLog (e.g. Event ID 1102: Security log was cleared), then EvtFormatMessage fails with error code 15033. But if the event is of any other source (e.g. Microsoft Security Auditing), then it works absolutely fine.
While calling EvtOpenPublisherMetadata, I have created locale ID as MAKELCID(MAKELANGID(0x09,0x01) i.e. Primary language = LANG_ENGLISH and Sub Language = SUBLANG_DEFAULT.
I want events details in English only and hence primary language is put as English. If I change this macro to have primary language as LANG_CHINESE and sub language as SUBLANG_CHINESE_SIMPLIFIED, then it works fine but gives back event details in native
OS language (Chinese in this case). That's not a desirable output for me.
Following is the way I'm calling EvtFormatMessage
EvtFormatMessage(hMetaData, hEvent[0], -1, 0, NULL,
1 /* EvtFormatMessageEvent */,
m_pTextBufferSize/sizeof(WCHAR),
m_pTextBuffer, &dwBuffUsed);
A work-around for this is to install a MUI pack for English language. If the MUI pack is installed then it works fine. But I cannot enforce users to have this pack installed on all their systems.
My question is why this API is working for some set of Events whereas failing for some specific Events? Am I doing something wrong?
Any help would be appreciated.
TIA,

Yogesh

Bug when getting file path in non-english Windows Vista

Hello,
I'm getting an error when trying to get the file path of a video in a non-english Windows Vista... The code is:
var file = "video.flv"
var filePath = air.File.applicationStorageDirectory.resolvePath(file);
filePath = filePath.nativePath;
The filePath variable is used later by a flash video player to load the video file..
In the brazilian Windows Vista the path of the StorageDirectory would be something like "C:\Usuários\(user name)\..." but if I run this script it returns "C:\Users\(user name)\..." as the native path.
The problem seems to be in the "nativePath" function, cause I'm able to copy files to the app-storage folder using the "air.File.appicationStorageDirectory.resolvePath()" method without any problems.
I could insert a small code which substitutes "Users" with "Usuários" but then it wouldn't work on an english Vista...
Any ideas on this? Is there a way to check the language of the operating system in Air so to act accordingly?
Thanks for any help!

"Cancelled Adobe Creative Suite 5 Master Collection English Windows"- problems downloading the trial

Hi, I'm trying to download the Adobe CS5 Master COllection, but when the "Akamai Download Manager" pops up and should start the download, the two downloadbars disappears and I get the message "Cancelled Adobe Creative Suite 5 Master Collection English Windows". I've tried with Chrome, Mozilla and internet explorer, as well as restarting the computer, but that doesn't work.
Anyone knows how to make this work?
Thanks,
bendive1
EDIT: fixed the picture

Just use the browser's download function. There should be a choice in the download link to download directly or with the Akamai Downloader.
And don't use Internet Explorer. Use Firefox or Chrome.

Wants Swedish menues in PS CC 2014 Trial on English Windows

I have the English Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit with Swedish settings for keyboard and date and decimal (etc), and downloaded PS CC 2014 trial. All I can see is English menue options - how can I get PS CC 2014 with Swedish menues?

Yeah, I have tried that, but it didn't work - My thought was that the info in that document didn't apply to CC 2014 or so. The App Language is set to "Svenska" / i.e. Swedish, but the install location is C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe - probably because I did have PSE11 / Premier 11 installed for three years (under C:\Program Files\Adobe -no additional Adobe folder.) including Creative Cloud (which was updated the same day I installed PS CC 2014.
Is it possible to uninstall the trial LR and PS CC versions and reinstall without loosing the possibility of continue the trail?

Apple, when an update for none english windows users ?

Apple knows about that problem for over 10 days now but nothing yet.
I'm in Montreal and all none english windows users are unable to "unlock" their new ipod and get that USB cable and itune Icon display.
Come on Apple, are you becoming as bad as the PC and windows world.!
If you guys could post here which country and language you have problem with. Thanks.
_*Canada, QC, French*_.

Looks like people using none english windows experience the same problem when they try to config for the first time their Ipod touch. You're gonna be able to connect to your computer to load songs and movies but when come the time to disconnect your device, the Ipod is gonna display (even disconnected from your computer) a screen with an USB cable and an itune icon. The result is that you're gonna be unable to turn your Ipod really on and listening the content of it.
People in Japan, germany, France, etc... had the same problem because of none english windows setup.
Good luck... My Ipod still doesn't work.

View flash with Chinese by IE of English Windows platform

I am using English Windows IE to view a web site. The web
site has flash with Chinese which is displayed incorrectly. I have
used njstar viewer but still cannot view it correctly.
Please suggest way to view Chinese flash by IE in English
Windows platform. Thanks.

Your only hope is to install Microsoft's Chinese fonts which
work in non-Chinese operating systems. You can find them on
Microsoft's website, or use your OS settings to add Chinese
language (simplified and traditional). Then you have to hope that
all the encoding in the SWF was done properly, to access Chinese
system fonts.
I mostly have no problem viewing Chinese Flash content on my
English Window XP, though often the layouts are bizarre, since they
were designed to be read in Chinese OS, using different system
fonts. Perhaps as many as 1 out of 10 Chinese Flash sites don't
work for me.

Upgrade to 7.0.2 English Version showing Japanese Characters & Yen prices

I recently upgraded to iTunes 7.0.2. Since completing installation, I've noticed that the fonts within the iTunes Store interface are off and I'm noticing a lot more Japanese support (including a lot more spotlighted albums of Japanese singers). Along those lines, I'm also seeing "square blocks" instead of text as I'm running an English version of Windows XP Home...denoting a lack of support for Japanese Kanji characters. When I look to purchase something from the store, pricing is displayed in Yen.
I double-checked my settings to ensure that support was set for English, which it was. I attempted to repair iTunes via the Install package Repair interface. No errors were found. Finally, I uninstalled iTunes 7.0.2 and downloaded a fresh install package from apple.com. After a clean install, I'm seeing the same thing. Searching the message board has revealed no answers. Has anybody else seen this and, if so, were you able to correct it?

A re-install is not necessary. Simply go down to the bottom of the main store window, there is a small flag icon, click the drop down arrow & select the US store.

Lenovo g780 polish instead of english windows and problems

Hello
One week ago i bought a lenovo g780 laptop. I turned it on and although in the website of the store i bought it (e-shop Greece) says that it comes with windows 8 english , mine was with polish windows....
I contected them and they told me that now with windows 8 you can change the language packs so there is no problem. Really... i knews that but the problem was... how i am supposed install windows 8 when the isntaller was in Polish. Anyway after 2 hours with another laptop next to me translating from google i managed to install it and go to control panel.
I changed the language and i thought my problems was solved but... some things were still in polish. Some others some times were in english and other times randomly in polish. For example when i was right clicking on desktop one time i could see "graphic properties" and the next time it was in polish.
I contacted them again and they told me that it is not their fault and if i want someone to blame that should be lenovo and microsoft. Microsoft for opening language packaged and lenovo for giving them products with whatever version of windows 8. They told me that they have an image of english version of my laptop and they could replace it.
So i went there and came back home after 2 hours. But... an image ... is an image right? It supposed to be the same as the polish version. But it wasn't... The first time i log in windows i get an error message. I can't remember
the exact message but it had something to do with "theater something". That message never shown up again. Only the first time.
After that i tried to disable my touchpad. In the polish version i had an option to disable it when a usb mouse device was plugged in. Now the only way to disable it is to ... "disable it" . Also when i click moodpad or pressure graph i get an error message saying "sorry this program requires a synaptics touchpad and the synaptics pointer device driver. What was giving me the option to disable touchpad only when i had a usb mouse? How i can get it back? Also the lenovo features are not the same with the ones i had in the polish version. Some things are missing. Some other things are not installed but they are in a folder with the installation. (mcafee for example).
I know that those are not real problems and most of the things can be fixed if i start searching but this is not the case right? I bought a laptop with windows 8 ENGLISH version. Not polish not chinese not russian. The shop i bought it blames you and they told me the can't change the product description from their website because the description comes from you. So what's the truth? Should i go back to the store and start screaming this time or things is like they say/

Hi Novikor42,
The order to re-install the driver is already sorted out in our Support Website; please download the drivers or all of them at a time from our website and install directly which will replace the drivers in the computer that are already installed. Below is the link to steps to download the drivers:

Pdf files will not display in english, windows default

Hello,
When I download a pdf file I cannot get it to display in english.
the default is set at windows, but I always seem to get a display in other languages.
Any suggestions?
Thanks, Pam

Ok. I reloaded v 11.0.04 of Adobe Reader after quiting Safari 6.0.5 . Then deleted the 2 plug-ins AdobePDFViewer.plugin and AdobePDFViewerNPAPI.plugin . Relaunched Safari and tried to read a pdf from a repository at the URL mentioned in post 10 . The file was loaded and displayed correctly. Also a pdf file from my local disk store displayed nicely as well. What I do not understand is that there is no listing of an Adobe plug in /Library/Internet Plug-Ins , nor does Safari list any Adobe plug ins. So in that case this means that plug-ins for the display of pdfs in Safari windows are no longer needed!
Adobe Reader version 11.0.04 is now working for me.
Thanks for the help and the solution C.F.McBlob

Vstest.console.exe does not find emulators on non-english windows

Hi all,
I am currently setting up my TeamCity build steps to build my app, deploy it to the emulator and then run unit and UI tests projects on it.
For deploying, I use "AppDeployCmd.exe /install app.appx /targetdevice:6" where "6" is the ID of the emulator retrieved by "AppDeployCmd.exe /EnumerateDevices". This works well. The emulator is being started and the appx is
deployed properly.
For testing, I use "vstest.console.exe" together with a runsetting file which looks like the following:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RunSettings>
<MSPhoneTest>
<TargetDevice>Emulator 8.1 U1 WVGA 4 inch 512MB</TargetDevice>
</MSPhoneTest>
</RunSettings>
The device string is exactly the same which is printed by using "AppDeployCmd.exe /EnumerateDevices" and also visible in the Visual Studio selection.
This works fine when using English as the primary system language of Windows. When using German, the emulator names are appended a "(DE)", so "/EnumerateDevices" and also Visual Studio display "Emulator 8.1 U1 WVGA 4 inch 512MB(DE)".
For deployment, I use the index number which stays the same (6 in this example). For running the tests, however, neither "Emulator 8.1 U1 WVGA 4 inch 512MB" nor "Emulator 8.1 U1 WVGA 4 inch 512MB(DE)" are found by vstest.console.exe and
an error is returned when using either string as the TargetDevice value in the runsettings file:
Error: Could not start test run for the tests for Windows Phone app: The selected target device is not valid..
I'm using the latest VS2013 tools with the latest WP8.1 SDK and already tried reinstalling everything.
I'd appreciate if someone could help me running my tests on Windows with German system language.
Thanks and best regards
Sebastian

Hi Nithak,
thanks for your reply!
As described above, deploying via AppDeployCmd works fine - I pass the ID/number which I received using /EnumerateDevices and then it works in both languages. The app is updated properly in the emulator and the next step in my CI progress would be to
run the tests which require the app to be deployed.
The problem is only vstest.console.exe where I pass a emulator name via the runsettings file.
In my eyes there should be used IDs as well as neither "Emulator 8.1 U1 WVGA 4 inch 512MB(DE)" nor "Emulator 8.1 U1 WVGA 4 inch 512MB" are found by the tool.
Best
Sebastian
