I stand (or rather sit) corrected then... :-) Jon -----Original Message----- From: Andy Lacey [mailto:andy at minstersystems.co.uk] Sent: 10 October 2003 10:29 To: Discussion of Hardware and Software issues Subject: RE: [dba-Tech] Windows Language Settings I must say I thought it was as Erwin describes. The language setting dictates keyboard entry but not the display of Windows itself. -- Andy Lacey http://www.minstersystems.co.uk --------- Original Message -------- From: "Discussion of Hardware and Software issues" <dba-tech at databaseadvisors.com> To: "Discussion of Hardware and Software issues" <dba-tech at databaseadvisors.com> Subject: RE: [dba-Tech] Windows Language Settings Date: 10/10/03 09:28 No, read the text above.... -----Oorspronkelijk bericht----- Van: dba-tech-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:dba-tech-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] Namens Jon Tydda Verzonden: vrijdag 10 oktober 2003 11:25 Aan: 'Discussion of Hardware and Software issues' Onderwerp: RE: [dba-Tech] Windows Language Settings You can change the language settings in there, I'm sure - the first tab is "Language"...

Forgot something. English international is not the same as American English. I believe US version is more lightweighted and has less international support. I'm not sure, but I wonder if a US version will permit you to set the regional settings to Germany for example?

Control Panels/Regional settings? I've not got much experience of XP, but you can certainly do that in 2K. Jon -----Original Message----- From: Andy Lacey [mailto:andy at minstersystems.co.uk] Sent: 10 October 2003 10:09 To: dba-tech at databaseadvisors.com Subject: [dba-Tech] Windows Language Settings A question for one of you continental European guys. If one was to buy a WXP laptop from,say, a German seller and give that to an English speaker, is there any way of changing the display of system messages, option names etc to all be in English? Or would one have to buy and install a UK copy of WXP? -- Andy Lacey http://www.minstersystems.co.uk ________________________________________________ Message sent using UebiMiau 2.7.2 The information in this e-mail is confidential and may also be legally privileged.
