StarOffice 8 PU1 changes the language of my GUI

Hi,
I have installed StarOffice 8 on my Win XP laptop and then product update 1. Now my dropdown menu items show up in German.
How do I fix this ?
Thank you
F.

Actually, can you give us that in German? The GUI is in German, so I for one can't translate it. I think I found the path you indicated, and it still didn't work. It affects the documents that I create, but not the GUI.

  • Macro won't change the language of some characters - GUI input works fine

    I have an issue where certain characters in documents are in the SimSun font and the language is set to "Chinese (PRC)". I wrote a macro that successfully changes the font from simsun to another font, but it doesn't work if the language is Chinese
    (PRC) and perhaps others, but this is the only case I have found so far.
    It works fine if the language is English to begin with. Even more frustrating is that fact that, if I "Select All -> Language USEnglish" via the GUI after I run the SimSun change macro, the characters that the macro already worked on will change
    appropriately.
    However, if I try to change the language with a macro it doesn't work. I can literally record my actions that work as a macro, but when I run the macro, it doesn't work. 
    Does anyone know what causes this behavior? Is there any way to fix it?
    This is what I use. 
        Selection.WholeStory
        Selection.LanguageID = wdEnglishUS
        Application.CheckLanguage = False
    Thanks!

    Edit: I'm currently working with Word2013 but I know this same behavior is replicated in word 2010 on a different computer.
    Okay, here is some test data:
    https://onedrive.live.com/view.aspx?cid=608A603435D13670&resid=608A603435D13670%21111&app=Word
    and here is the data after I run the macro:
    https://onedrive.live.com/view.aspx?cid=608A603435D13670&resid=608A603435D13670%21116&app=Word
    If I manually (through the GUI) select all and set the language, the text comes out fine. However, those steps have no effect when run as a macro, even if I record them and they while they work correctly.
    I actually can't seem to change the language of Chinese (PRC) at all with a macro but the GUI does seem to work.
    Here is the full code that I am running. It's got a few extra lines in there because I was trying to figure out if I could get it to change the language to English somehow:

    I DO remember them but Apple chose to put them in Japanese and I can not change the language on Manage my Apple ID so I do not know if I made an error ,it threw me off , it was the wrong question Where did you fly to on your first Aiplane trip ? then I was unable to enter until 8 hours then called Apple Japan 4 times each time threy asked me would you like to speak with an English speaker,I said yes then they told me sorry today is Sunday no English speakers ,but they refused to speak Japanese, then I called 5th time and a kind guy could speak English we were on 1and 1/2 hours he got me to log in but the reset key chain could not be completed still pending.
    He said do not mess with that ! then I got a text from somewhere to reset 4 pins suddenly it was very strange I said to him that I got this pin this morning but it said you can use maximum 3 hours it had a UK number and I told him I do not like this and will not enter the code he said do not do it if it is from the UK and then I said to him ok you did a lot to help but we can not go any further ! and we cut of I went back to my computer to re do the ID but I found everything a mess so I call and a stupid sounding Japanese women with a squeaky voice came on I was calm at first and they want your phone number your IMEI number your iPhone serial number date of birth Address email address it takes 10 munutes to check then they ask what are you caling about so I try to explain my keychain is broken or problems with language security questions and can not change my pasword because the security question have failed me so it is ONE BIG HEADACHE AND I START I GET STRESSED she says Do want an ENGLISH speaker ,I say yes ,that guy i talked to earlier but I never got his name and first time I ever talked to him but they said he is not here so I said ok and then she said today is sunday so call back in the morning ,I said ,well ok in Japanese but they make you feel stupid because they do not want to speak Jap@anese with none natives and they are to busy,And they feel that I should not bother them ,then I say that Apple Japan is trying to refuse Apple foreign customers and then she wants to hang up and ask me to visit the shop ,but they are the same I have a very bad time with Apple Japan since they do not discuss software problems or security with customer meaning if you have a problem they ask you to come on a time 20 minutes max so they do hardware test and say you phone is fine then I say no I can not reset my ID they say you must call call centre so I am going around in circles ,When I call English it is usually Australia so if my problem is in Japan surely if do not want me to talk to them in Japanese and they ask me to call Australia but every time my call charge is expensive after asking them is this free because I have Apple care they say yes but when the call goes to Australia 0120 277 535 it might change to paid call so I call then I have to ask is this charging they say we can not give you that information ! so what can I do I have have been at the computer and phone all day on my day off work and in tre week I am so busy and can not use my phone I can not work without it ,this new technology for you ,they can not cope with the fact that the customer have problems yet they do not want to deal with us because they can not solve it and so it shows them to be useless they like to walk around in their cool tee shirts and retro shop but when it comes to functionality we are unwelcome they got the money so do not return because apple is perfect that nothing should go wrong .
    But it does somehow my English security answers do not work on a Japanese Question especialy if I did not choose that question I set  up the multiple choice In English and wrote the answers in English or Roman and set them langauge preferences in English, do you really think you can correctly write english name or word in Japanese they write a police patrol car  pato caa パトカア they do not have r and l .So it is my choice to make my security easy for me and as difficult for others to hack.But they also have patororoo choo meaning ' now patrolling ' so why they have pato caa patrol car and patoro patrol and have thousands of Chinese words kanji they can find patrol.
    I am getting off the topic but I am at a loss to fix this problem when they hold the keys and i have all the info to verify my ID.

  • Hi All,i am currently working on a flex application that will allow the user to change the language

    Hi All,i am currently working on a flex application that will allow the user to change the language within the application from english to Japanese and vice versa. And everything works fine.
    I am using flex 4.5
    We allow the user to save records with english or japanese texts.
    problem
    When the user manually enters Japanese text and tries to save it the record defaults back to the default name (which is in english). But if you copy the entered text and paste it and then save it.It works fine.
    Any idea , why this is happening?
    Please let me know if the question is not clear.
    Looks like there was already a bug

    By Payal integration , you mean paypal button html ? or payment gateway setup etc ? If its a gateway configuration for your site domain then single page for all layout will work , but if you are using button code for all renditions then you would need to create separate pages for all.

  • How can i change the language from spanish to english on a palm 750 that i just bought in spain?

    hi
    can anyone tell me if it is possible to change the language on a palm 750 from spanish to english? I just bought this phone in spain and can not use it well as everything is in spanish
    please let me know how to change this if possible
    Post relates to: Treo 750 (AT&T)

    Hello and thank you for using the Palm Help Forums!
    For this device, you will need to perform a hard reset to be able to set the language. A hard reset will erase all data on the device and restore settings to factory default. You will want to make sure you back up your information to a computer (via Activesync) before performing this action.
    To do a hard reset you will need to remove the battery. Press and hold the end call button (red key) while putting the battery back in the device. Continue holding the end call key until the loading bar at the bottom of the screen completes. Once you see the loading bar disappear, release the end call button and you will be prompted on the screen, Erase all data? Y or N? Press up on your 5 way navigator to confirm this.
    Once the device boots up you will be prompted for what language you want. I hope this helps!

  • How to change the language in smartform?

    hi
    how to change the language in smartform?

    Hi,
    U can't change the language in the smartform, the main language of the smartform is the language used to create it (so the language used for SAP log on.
    But u can translate it (by trx SE63) and if u need to print in a new language u have to indicate it when the smartform is called.
    U can transfer the language to be used for the print in the parameter CONTROL_PARAMETERS, like structure SSFCTRLOP, here u can indicate the language in the field LANGU.
    see this..
    Use transaction SE63, after activate your smartform, to translate.
    In the First Page of your Smart Forms click on Global Settings under that click Form Attributes
    now in the Right side screen Go to Subscreen Language Attributes.
    select the Radiobutton Translate To all Languages
    from the Translate subscreen out of three radio buttons.

    Hi Solesisita,
    definitly don't throw your iPod away.
    Which iPod touch do you have?  And, have you tried shutting it off completely and then turning it back on? Press and hold the button on the top until it powers off, wait about a minute and then press and hold the button until it comes back on.
    Let us know what it's like after you do that.

    I'm new to Aperture, I'm a Photoshop Elements 6.0 user, however I found that Aperture has some things that I like better than Photoshop.
    Now I downloaded the test version in order to check if its worth it, therefore I downloaded from the Apple homepage in the US, becuase I want to have it in English, I even select English to read the terms of use, but at the end the program is installed in German, languaege in wich I have my iMac.
    Do you know How could I do it in order to change the language and been able to use Aperture in English?

    Thank you so much, like that will make my life so easy and I'll be able to understand Aperture, due to the translation of the words is not always the same sometimes another word is used and then you just need to search for it.

    Hi there,
    You're running an old version of Safari. Before troubleshooting, try updating it to the latest version: 6.0. You can do this by clicking the Apple logo in the top left, then clicking Software update.
    You can also update to the latest version of OS X, 10.8 Mountain Lion, from the Mac App Store for $19.99, which will automatically install Safari 6 as well, but this isn't essential, only reccomended.
    Thanks, let me know if the update helps,

  • How do I change the language back to english as it is running in chinese

    How do I change the language back to English as it is running in Chinese?

    On your keyboard, press the CTRL and the , (comma) keys at the same time
    You will see a box like this:
    Stay on the first tab (as shown) and select the drop-down menu as arrowed
    English (UK variety) is the fifth one from the top. US variety English is the sixth one
    Select your choice and click on OK
    There will be an additional piece of text under the menu now; it simply tells you that you need to close and re-open iTunes for the language change to take effect.
    That's it!
