[dba-Tech] Windows 7 language packs - "en-GB where are you?"

If I r/click on desktop I get "Pesonalize". I then click on Control Panel
and on "...Region" etc and it defaults to English so that must have been
selected by whoever installed it.

Also in the control panel, again it is spelled "Appearance and
PersonaliZation" so that may be embedded in the OS.

So when you open control panel, do you have the category for
"Personalisation" or "Personalization"?

Mine came pre-installed but it is Englaise (United Kingdom).

And that appears in the Formats under  Control Panel as well.

They also have language packs for places like Manitoba, N.Carolina, Florida,
etc.

Hi all

Does anyone know if you can install Windows 7 with UK English? It wasn't
available on our build, but we all thought that was a vaguery of our
corporate install system, but UK English doesn't appear to be available in
the language settings... this means I'll be stuck with having to look at
changing my "color" and "personalization" forever, and I'm not sure I can
handle it!!

Apparently I can install it in Welsh or Scottish Gaelic, even Hindi or
Cuneiform but not UK English...

It's not just that it's annoying me, we're going to be rolling this out to
800 users in the next couple of months, and I don't want them ALL
complaining at me!

I have checked on google and microsoft.com, but they're somewhat less than
useful...
