[dba-Tech] OT Windows Language Settings

Ha - this site is a hoot! I love the way it translated 'Dear Sir' as 'Sir Querido'.

  Do it on-line John! http://dictionary.reference.com/translate translated "use it or lose it" as "utilícelo o piérdalo", which is pretty good. On the downside it rendered "cool as a cucumber" into "Refresqúese como pepino" (which I make "refresh yourself like a cucumber does"). Still, it could lead to some interesting meetings :-)))))

    Isn't it odd that most of the applications can be switched to another
    language but not the OS?!

    OK, well, interpreter time then. My Spanish has disintegrated into courteous
    greetings and such. I am no longer capable of a real conversation. My German
    has gone to that same lost area of my brain. I guess the old saying of "use
    it or lose it" is quite true!

    I think not John. I believe the upshot of this discussion is that Windows
    will only display in one language, that for which it was installed.

    A follow-up to this for anyone - Does WinXP have the ability to switch
    between English(US) and Spanish?

    (I have possible customers lined up for some sys-admin work but they only
    speak Spanish and I would need an interpreter to work with them. Because
    most of what I would be doing wouldn't involve any discussions if I could
    switch between languages on the computers I could do most of it without an
    interpreter.)
