:-) Thats the advantage of beeing in a country with tree offical languages and the EC in Brussels... I used to work for a company whom shipped computers/terminal in as many languages as the EC exists of countries..... My job was to prepare them... And not to forget as many different keyboards too... I now have customers working in 4 languages.... English (Int), Dutch, French and 1 German... I know most of the menu's in office by heart in 3 languages....when giving suport by phone...

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"... Jon -----Original Message----- From: Erwin Craps [mailto:Erwin.Craps at ithelps.be] Sent: 10 October 2003 10:23 To: Discussion of Hardware and Software issues Subject: RE: [dba-Tech] Windows Language Settings No no Thats only for country specific things like date number format, GMT time offset etc.... 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.

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.
