Hey Ilyas
Unfortunately, there is no much to do. The OS language cannot be converted!!!
If you want to use the Windows in English language you will have to buy the original Microsoft Windows CD with a English version of Win MCE.
Then you have to install this OS and the necessary drivers from the Toshiba driver page.
The drivers can be chosen in different languages.

Keyboard language changed only in Firefox not other programmes

I have Firefox in English but I use a Spanish keyboard, meaning some keys like question marks or quotation marks are in different places, there are accents, a key for ç, etc. It has always worked normally but today, while the keyboard is working correctly with all other programmes in Firefox it works as if the settings were changed to an English (I think) keyboard.
I don't have that problem with Chrome though, it's just Firefox. How is that possible (add question mark here, I can't guess what key I'im supposed to use for it).
I haven't changed anything in the settings, so the only possibility could be some kind of shortcut I've accidentally pressed, even though I don't know how that's even possible, as I assumed you can't have several keyboard language settings selected at the same time depending on the programme you're using.
I type in different languages so this is terribly annoying! Thanks for any help.

It is possible that you have switched the keyboard layout by accident by using the key sequence to rotate the layout.
* http://support.microsoft.com/kb/258824 - How to change your keyboard layout
Windows remembers the keyboard layout setting per application and you may have changed the keyboard layout by accident via a keyboard shortcut.
* http://support.microsoft.com/kb/306993 - HOW TO: Use the Language Bar in Windows XP
* http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/The-Language-bar-overview The Language bar (overview)
Make sure that you have the Language bar visible on the Windows Taskbar
* You can do that via the right-click context menu of the Taskbar: Toolbars > Language Bar
* Check the keyboard language (keyboard layout) setting for the application that has focus via the icon on the Language bar
* You need to do that while Firefox has focus because Windows remembers the keyboard layout setting per application
* The default key combination to rotate the layout is the Ctrl+Shift or Alt+Shift combination that is used in Firefox for menu items, so it is quite possible to change the layout accidentally.
* To avoid an unintentional switch, assign a specific key sequence (Alt/Ctrl+Shift+number) to select keyboard layouts and remove the key combination to rotate layouts (Alt+Shift or Ctrl+Shift)
* Control Panel > Regional and Language Options > Keyboards and Languages > Change keyboards > Advanced key settings > Change key sequence

Language change in app store

How can we change the language of App Store? It goes automaticly to the language of the registered country and does not allow me to change to other language. This is pretty new change. It does not fix to change the general language of the device. Any support will be appreciated.

I believe that is because you are in the wrong country's store. As far as I know, you can't change the language of the store. Change to the correct store that you should be in.
Settings>iTunes and App Stores>Apple ID
Tap your ID
Tap View Apple ID
Enter your password
Go to country/region in the popup window to change the store

Language changed to russian

I am using iTunes 11 on Windows 7. I installed the English version of iTunes. It worked fine for a couple of days but suddenly the language changed to Russian or another similar language. Can't really say what language it was since I don't know it. I uninstalled, cleaned up the registry and reinstalled iTunes but surprisingly the language was still not English.
Any idea what the reason can be?
Thank you.

Well I eventually found the English on the drop down menu on the General Preferences tab and changed the language back to English. But nevertheless, I find it very strange that the language changed with no reason.
I don't think the installation was corrupted since it worked for a couple of days after the install without any issue. I synced my phone, listened to music and updated the apps without any problem. A reinstallation didn't solve the problem. So I uninstalled all Apple related software and cleaned the install folders and configuration files on the harddrive as much as I could and cleaned up the Windows registry. However, after a clean reinstallation of the English version of iTunes, the language still remained the same non-English language. So there must have been a configuration file some where left on the harddrive. But isn't strange that the existing configuration file was not overwritten by the new installation? I tried the same installation with another user account on the same computer and the language was not English.

Ok, if reinstalling iTunes as suggested above does not resolve the issue of iTunes recognising the iPad then try this -
Firstly, make sure that your device is not hidden (left hand pane). If it just reads device then toggle between SHOW and HIDE.
Secondly, try all the other ports on your computer, even a number of times.
Thirdly, make sure your lead /connections are no faulty.
Fourthly, if you have another computer try plugging your device into it without taking any action, give it a moment, remove it and try it back in your other computer again.
Failing all that, see here - http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
And failing all that put the device into Recovery mode. See here and note the paragraph 'If you restore from a different computer.... ' down near the bottom of the page -
http://www.apple.com/support/ipad/assistant/itunes/
As for making your new laptop your 'home computer' follow these instructions -
1. Without connecting your iPad to your computer -
A) Install iTunes / make sure the latest version of iTunes is installed.
B) Go to the Store tab and click on "Authorise This Computer".
C) Go to Edit, click on Preferences [iTunes and Preferences on Macs] and click on Devices. Put a check mark in the box next to "Prevent iPods/iPhones/iPads from syncing automatically". Click OK and close iTunes.
2. Connect your iPad to your computer -
A) Start iTunes (it will not start automatically because of the action at 1(C) above).
B) Right click on your iPad under Devices in the left column. Select "Transfer purchases".
C) When the transfer has completed, right click on your iPad again and select "Backup".
D) When the backup has completed, left click on your iPad, click on the Apps tab, and put a check mark in the box next to "Sync Apps", and then click on "Apply" (bottom right).
E) Unless you want to always do a manual sync (as I do), go back to Edit, Preferences [iTunes and Preferences on Macs] and uncheck the box next to "Prevent your iPod.....".
F) Finally, on your iPad, check that everything is syncing properly. If not, go back to iTunes and check all settings.
NB You should not lose any apps. However, any 'purchased' missing apps can be downloaded again FOC. As with updates, this must be done with the Apple ID under which they were originally 'purchased'.

Language changed

Language changed and I can't change it back

I suppose that there is an unreadable languge that you do not master.
- click home button
- look for the settings icon, if not on the first psge, on one of the following
- click it, it opens on the page where Airplane mode is the uppermost, it easily found because it has an airplane icon
- on that first page swipe down to the third segment
- in that segment click on the first icon (the same icon as ettings itself), (it is "general" in english)
- in the page that opens, swipe down to the fifth segment
- in that segment click on the third icon from above, ("international" in english)
- in the page that opens click on the first icon, it opens a page where you can each language.
- click "done" when you have done, then it will change the language to what you have chosen (it takes some time). You do not have to restart.
succes,

Federated Portal Language change not visible on remote role

Hi,
Remote role assigment is done on consumer portal. This remote portal role comes from a BI Producer portal.
This roles has worksets and iviews attached to it like km navigation iview etc.
User on consumer portal has options to change his language to french from default english.
Here the issue is, this language change does not reflect or apply to the remote role and its iviews or contents.(It continues to show in english) . But it works without problem o n local roles or ivews as expected.
Any idea on how this language change can be effected on the remote role and its contentc will be much appreciated.
Regards,
Ashok D

Hello Ashok,
You must remember that because this is RRA the content will actually run on the producer (unless this is an AI iView).
This means that the language will be determine according to the user's language defined on the producer itself, therefor you have to change the language of that specific user on the producer portal.
If this does not help it might be that the iView is forcing the language, then we'll have to try somehthing else.
Update me with the results of the first triage,
Also have a look at SAP Note # 1295703 under the Language category, it explains the algorithem of determining the language.
Best Regards,
Nadav.

Get rid of message: "If you close the window, your changes will be lost..."

Whenever I enter text, then close the window, I get the message, "if you close the window, your changes will be lost. Do you want to close the window anyway?"
Yes, I do want to close the window, and I want to get rid of this message from popping up. Can't find it anywhere in Safari. Please help me out. Please, how do you configure Safari so this message will not pop up?

HI David,
From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Reset Safari. Select the top 5 buttons and click Reset. Relaunch Safari. If you still see that dialog...
Go to the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari/Preferences. Make note of all the preferences under each tab. Quit Safari. Now go to ~/Library/Preferences and move this file com.apple.safari.plist to the Desktop.
Relaunch Safari and see if that makes a difference. If not, move the .plist file back to the Preferences folder. If Safari functions as it should, move that .plist file to the Trash.

Language change makes me unable to log on my Macbook!

Hi guys,
So yesterday I changed my language from English to Vietnamese. My computer went on sleep. When I tried to log on, it didn't show up the dots(for the password field). I'm thinking the language change has messed up the keyboards! Could anyone tell me how to fix the problem? I really need to log on my computer as soon as possible. Thank you so much.
By the way, I changed the language to Vietnamese VNI.

Hopefully we can get Tom or others in here to help.
Does it boot into any of these modes?
Holding Option/alt key at bootup.
Holding SHIFT key at bootup.
Target mode...
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1661
Does it boot to Single User Mode, CMD+s keys at bootup, if so try...
/sbin/fsck -fy
Repeat until it shows no errors fixed.
(Space between fsck AND -fy important).
Resolve startup issues and perform disk maintenance with Disk Utility and fsck...

"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at the top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."

Or do you have Firmware password protection in Mac OS X ...

It would block usage of all the startup keys, like C, N, T, D, CMD+s, CMD+Option+p+r, CMD +v, Option, and Shift, as well as booting from anything but the Hard Drive.
Force Removing Password Protection
1) Add or remove DIMMs to change the total amount of RAM in the computer.
2) Then, the PRAM must be reset 3 times. (Command + Option + P + R).
