Hello everybody!
In this video, I'll show you how to change Windows display language, how to add, set
up and remove additional languages in your operating system.
We will also have a look at possible difficulties you might have, see how to restore the disappearing
language bar, how to assign a particular language to certain programs, and talk about some more
language settings in
Windows 10, 8 or 7.
So, let's begin.
Adding a language
For example, you have an English version of the operating system, and you want to add
another language.
Open Control Panel (you can do it through the search field by entering "Control Panel"),
then select "Clock, Language and Region" and click on "Add a language," once more
"Add a language" and select the language you want from the list; when you do it, click
"Add."
Now the new language has been added, you can see the language bar, so you can switch it
to any language you want and use it.
Changing the display language
If having one more language is not enough, and you want to change the operating system
display language, click on "Options" in the same menu, and in the window that opens,
click on "Download and install Language pack," then "Yes," and wait for the
download to finish - it may take some time.
Now the language pack is installed.
To make it a default language, left-click on it and choose "Move up" - now you can
see the display language will change when you log in next time, so you have to restart
the computer to change the display language into the new one.
As you can see, the display language is in a new language now, but you might have noticed
the welcome screen was still in English.
Now I'm going to show you what to do to fix this problem.
Open the Control Panel - to get is started, enter into the search field "control panel"
and everything is shown in the proper language now.
Select "Clock, Language and Region," then "Region" where you can set up language
parameters for the welcome screen, system accounts and new user accounts, location as
well as date and time formats.
Open "Location" tab and choose the necessary item from the list.
Go to the tab "Administrative," then "Copy settings," check the box next to "Welcome
screen and system accounts" and "New user accounts" and click OK.
The system will suggest a restart for the changes to take effect.
When the system boots next time, you will see the welcome screen in a different language.
Troubleshooting when downloading the language pack and changing the display language
If the option "Download and install language pack" is unavailable or not shown for some
reason, you should go to the Control Panel, and search the language settings for the menu
"Advanced settings."
In "Override for Windows display language," set the choice for "Use the language list."
After that, the option "Download and install language pack" should appear in the settings
of the selected language pack.
If you have a certain language selected as a default display language, and you need to
change it quickly into English or another language, select the necessary language from
the list in this menu and click "Save."
The system will suggest you to relog for the changes to take effect; now your display language
changes into English.
It's very convenient when, for example, when you're making a video and you need
to show Windows settings in another language or make a setting screenshot.
Choosing default input method
In the same menu, you can select the default input language at system logon.
For example, you have a certain input language selected at logon, but it's convenient for
you to have your system boot with English, so you change the settings in "Override
for default input method" to choose English and click "Save."
When the operating system boots next time, the default input language will change to
the one you have chosen.
Choosing input method for every application
In this menu, you can also choose the input method for every application.
How it works?
For example, when I work in Word writing an article in Russian, and at the same time use
another application, for example, Notepad, where I write in English, I have to change
the language manually every time I switch from one application to the other, which is
far from comfortable.
Enable this function, and Windows will automatically detect the language for every application.
Now, when I work in Word and type in Russian, I don't have to change the language manually
every time I jump to Notepad - the system detects the input method automatically and
changes it.
Using key shortcuts to switch between input languages
Here you can also set how the language bar is used.
Just check this box and click on "Options"; in the window that opens, you can set up the
language bar location, hide it, make it transparent when inactive and so on.
In the previous menu, you can also change the hotkeys to switch between the languages.
By default, it's left Alt+Shift, and in Windows 10 - Alt+Shift and Win+Space.
CLick "Change language bar hot keys" and select "Change Key Sequence" to Ctrl+Shift,
"Not Assigned" or "Grave Accent" - the button under the Escape button.
Select the method you like and click OK.
Getting the language bar back in Windows 10
If your language bar icon is gone for some strange reason, it's easy to have it back.
In Windows 10, open Settings / Personalization / Taskbar / Turn system icons on or off, or
just enter in the search field system icons on or off, and you'll be redirected to this
menu.
Enable "Input indicator" and the language bar will be displayed in the taskbar.
Fixing the character set issues When you open a program or document, and you
see strange symbols instead of the text, open Control Panel / Clock, Language and Region
/ Region / Administrative / Change system locale, and change it into the proper language.
Click OK and restart the system; the incorrect symbols issue should disappear.
Region
In the Region setting, you can change how date and time is displayed in the toolbar.
In additional settings, set up numbers, decimal symbol, number of digits after decimal, select
the measurement system, metric or U.S.
These settings influence display of numbers in such applications as Microsoft Excel.
Having changed the currency here and selecting the currency format for Excel cells, the currency
symbol will change from U.S. dollar to euro and so on depending on your Windows settings.
Removing a language pack
Installing several language packs will influence the amount of free space available on your
hard disk as well as your system performance.
Install only the language packs you are going to use.
If there is a language pack you are not using, you can remove and save some invaluable space
on your disk.
Open Control Panel / Clock, Language and Region / Language, left-click on the language you
want to delete and select "Remove" - that's all, this language is deleted.
Or, press the key sequence Win+R, and enter the command in the window that opens:
lpksetup and press Enter.
Then, click on "Uninstall display languages," check the ones you want to remove and click
Next.
Wait for the removal to be over, and then the system will suggest you to restart.
After the restart, the language is removed, but in this case restarting may take more
time than usual, so make sure you don't shut it down, or you can harm the operating
system.
That is all for now.
