Oh, so what you're saying is that if everything is set to UK English, then I have the UK Language pack, and Microsoft simply haven't bothered to make it affect the actual OS? Yet they're happy to go to the bother of writing one for Sanskrit, Latin and Semaphore? Amazes me, it really does... Anyway, time I was out of here. Good weekend all :-) Jon -----Original Message----- From: dba-tech-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:dba-tech-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Max Wanadoo Sent: 19 March 2010 17:17 To: 'Discussion of Hardware and Software issues' Subject: Re: [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. Max -----Original Message----- From: dba-tech-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:dba-tech-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Tydda Jon - Slough Sent: Friday, March 19, 2010 4:32 PM To: Discussion of Hardware and Software issues Subject: [dba-Tech] Windows 7 language packs - "en-GB where are you?" 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...
