Hi Jean,
JP> Did you finally get the language changed ?
No, not yet ;o()
The past three days I have spent with the filemanager, missing news/wx
and sports programmes on the tele, to try to find out if the english,
(US or GB), language package can be found on the HD. No dice ;o(
Neither did I find a swedish package, but nevertheless windows writes to
me in swedish, except the programs that I have installed myself, where I
have chosen english for the language, but even FileZilla (a FTP pgm) has
those language files.
That is a pgm I have installed and chosen english as the language at the
installation.
The directory tree for windows on the 25 GB boot partitions is ENORMOUS.
Huge is too small a word for the size.
On my sifting through the directory tree, I found 56 language files for
various windows functions and programs, each function or program having
their own choice of language file.
On my way, I have deleted unnecessary files, since I don't intend to
learn all those languages from albanian to zulu, hi.
Maybe change of language is made through a command that is issued by
Windows early in the booting process, choosing the language that the
user has chosen, for each pgm/funct in use. That may be the reason for
the many language files tied to most (not all) pgms, and the missing
language package for the language presently used.
That would be an easy way to change the op.sys to the wanted language.
You did recommend me to choose the US english and I have that as a
second choice, after GB-en. For the keyboard I have set the swedish, but
by Win-Space the choice can be changed to any secondary keybd-
Next step is an internet hook-up to M$ to have the language changed.
