How to add and enable additional languages in Windows 7

How to add and enable additional languages in Windows 7

Install or change a display language

You can change the language Windows uses to display text in wizards, dialog boxes, menus and other elements in the user interface. Some display languages are installed by default, while others require you to install additional language files.

Before you can install a display language, you need to access the language files. These files are on your computer, a computer in your network or your Windows DVD. They can also be downloaded from the web. For more information, see how to make additional display languages?

To install a display language
To install a Language Pack (LIP), double-click the file to open the installer. To install a Pack of MUI (MUI), follow these steps:

Click to open region and language.

Click the keyboards and languages tab.

Under display language, click install/uninstall languages, and then follow the steps.  If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

Note
The display language section will only be visible if you have already installed a LIP or if your version of Windows supports an MUI. MUIs are available in Windows 7 ultimate and Windows 7 Enterprise.

To change your display language
When you change the display language, the text in menus and dialogs for some programs may not be in the language you want. This happens because the program does not support Unicode. For more information about changing the text in menus and dialog boxes for programs that do not support Unicode, see change the settings system locale.

If you want to set the display language for multiple users or for the home screen, see apply regional and language to reserved accounts settings.

Click to open region and language.

Click the keyboards and languages tab.

Under display language, select a language in the list, and then click OK.

Note
If you do not see the list of display languages, you must install additional language files.

  • For a given file, how to add and change file properties on the Details tab, for properties that are not in the properties list?

    Now, I am aware of the modification of the properties of the file is simple in Windows 7 Explorer. Select a file, 'Properties', then tab "Details".  Some are not editable, and that's understandable.  Click on next to any area classified as year, Genre, Publisher, etc. and the apply.  No problems so far.

    Then of course in Explorer, when you right click on a column header, you get several choices of column beyond the usual that is displayed by default; Date, the Type, size, etc.  But, there is an option "More...", which has up to now, MUCH more useful properties to choose from, such as the model project, Department, job statusand so on.

    It's fantastic!

    But when you look into the details of any given file, none of these additional properties even are listed to be edited.  Why offer to view these details, if you don't change them, or add them to different files?  I must be missing something.  I do not need to add my own custom details, this additional list has a choice, that I need; If only I could edit the files to get this info.

    How to add and change these properties to files?  Word, Excel, MP4, AVI, JPG; I would add these properties, so I can set directly in the Solution Explorer, as you would by name or Type.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    My experience is that most of these 'extra fields' no existence not as fields in the directory (folder) itself.  On the contrary, these fields exist in the target file itself. Each file type has its own format and established file except for the types of files that belong to Microsoft, Microsoft cannot control or arbitrarily change the format of a particular file type.

    For example, a ".jpg" file  The format of this file type allows a large number of areas such as comments, Tags, date taken, opening, device manufacturer and so on.  If you go into the properties on a .jpg file, you will see a lot of them and will be able to change.  After changing any of these fields, you will find that the file itself has been changed to contain this information (as can be verified by the parity of the file and to come check upward with a different checksum).  If you display one of these fields in Explorer and 10000 ".jpg" files in this folder, then Explorer must open each of these 10000 files to extract the data in the corresponding fields, you have chosen to display.  May take some time.

    Compare that to the same picture saved to a file ".bmp".  The ".bmp" format has no provisions for any of these fields, so you will not be able to view, save, edit, or sort by them.  If the editable fields are directly related to the type of file that is displayed.

    Microsoft has apparently interviewed a lot of file types and made a compilation of the editable fields in each type of file and the Union of the selected fields in which can be displayed and modified.   That's apparently what you see in the option «More...» ».   So, in summary, the file type determines which fields are available for editing and posting.

    Actually, that's exactly what you should do, you don't need to create

    all fields again.

    After you have edited the original and create a new static PDF, open the old

    version and use the command replace Pages to insert the new pages

    those in the old file. This will keep all the form fields in tact.

    old question question/new - matter always request how to fix or recover from the windows/system32/rnudll.exe in computer science. I see no other answer to this anywhere

    Hi DadVQ,

    ·         Did you do changes on the computer before the show?

    This problem occurs because of a missing or corrupted Rundll32.exe file. This problem can also be caused by a virus.

    Follow the suggestions below for a possible solution:

    Method 1: Follow the steps mentioned in the article below and check if the problem still persists.

    Cannot find the Rundll32.exe file when you open Control Panel

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/812340

     

    Method 2: If the problem persists, I also suggest that you scan your computer with the Microsoft Security Scanner, which would help us to get rid of viruses, spyware and other malicious software.

    The Microsoft Security Scanner is a downloadable security tool for free which allows analysis at the application and helps remove viruses, spyware and other malware. It works with your current antivirus software.

    Note: The Microsoft Safety Scanner ends 10 days after being downloaded. To restart a scan with the latest definitions of anti-malware, download and run the Microsoft Safety Scanner again.

    Important: While hard disk analysis if bad sectors are found when scanning try to repair this area, all available on which data can be lost.

  • How to add and remove songs to a 2nd ipod in iTunes

    I have a 2nd ipod connected to my iTunes account however I'm having trouble to add and remove songs on this 2nd ipod.

    FAQ says simply drag a song from the list of music on the playlist to add and song highlight and press Delete to delete however by dragging the song more did not work and I can't find a tab delete when I select a song to remove.

    Thanks for any help and advice.

    Select the relevant tracks, and then press delete or Backspace should be used to remove the device.

    If files slipped and dropped to this topic does not transfer so it may be best to restore the device, then recharge it. In practice, making lists of reading with the content you want to sync to each device and then synchronize each device with its corresponding list may be easier to manage manually.

  • How can I use the additional features of windows 8.1 license key

    I bought acer E5 - 573 G-34QR (Aspire e 15) provided with windows preinstalled 8.1, I activated windows 8.1 but when I try to use additional features of windows 8.1 it ask for the product key.

    It depends on what kind of functionality you are looking for.

    Moreover, the license key is on your BIOS, so you don't need to activate windows.

    here some difference on windows 8 versions, it's the same for 8.1:

    https://en.Wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_8_editions

    All mentioned editions have the ability to use the language packs, which allows multiple user interface languages. [5] (this feature previously only available in Windows 7 Ultimate or Enterprise). However, in China and other emerging markets, a variation of Windows 8 without this feature, called Windows 8 unique language, is sold. This edition can be upgraded to Windows 8 Pro. [14]
