Language setting of the Canada

In fact, it is a problem that goes all the way back to Windows 95, but it is still the case in Windows 7.

I am Canadian and lived in Canada for more than 30 years; I'm still part of the year. So, naturally, I chose English (Canada) as my language when you install a new installation. I also chose the standard American keyboard layout . I pointed out that, because it's going to be important.

Windows still INSISTS to interpret this as a Canadian French keyboard layout. It would be stupid, even if it was just the default. As I said, I lived in Canada for more than 30 years. During this time, I saw a Canadian-french keyboard. The overwhelming majority of English-speaking Canadians do not use a Canadian-french keyboard, we use a standard American keyboard layout. Windows CE uses however not only as the default value but does not include my explicit entry to do, it's not stupid.

When I go to my language settings, it says I use a standard American keyboard layout. Yet when I try to type a question mark I E, when I try to do an arobas I get ', and so on. " Notice how the apostrophe in the word "there" seems to be wrong when I type - it's another symptom of the problem. I even removed the French Canadians and the list entirely - multilingual keyboard options it does not always help.

How can I fix this (it should be a question mark here, but guess what, I can not type a because of your stupid OS!). I mainly write for a living and I need of the ability to type the basic punctuation!

(I've corrected this before but don't remember how and even if I could there is no guarantee that the same solution would work now, which is a new OS and all.) Moreover, I wouldn't have to, you are the most design software buggy, not me.)

And most importantly, When you will fix your bloody operating system . This has been a problem for more than 15 years.

Keyboard layouts in Windows Vista / Windows 7
What to watch:
  • When Windows is installed, for some regions, that it puts in place a multiple for one default language keyboard layouts
  • Each open application has its own standard keyboard layout
  • If you have several layouts, set up you can see who did that if you click the icon for the keyboard on the taskbar
  • Pressing CTRL-SHIFT will change between layouts without any visible indication
  • Keyboard layouts are set up in the Control Panel area and language , not the keyboard control panel
  • Deleting a keyboard layout in the Control Panel will not open applications that already have this selected provision affect
  • Remove all keyboards except one in the Control Panel will make it impossible to change keyboard layouts even if some open applications may have other selected layouts
To go to a single keyboard layout in Windows 7:
  1. Save your work and close all applications, because the traps above make very confusing if you do not immediately restart after changing the settings.
  2. Go to the control panel of language and region (you can easily find it by searching in the box in the start menu)
  3. Click the keyboards and languages tab
  4. Click Change keyboards. This will bring up the "Text Services and input languages" dialog box
  5. Go through each additional provisions you don't want in the box "Installed Services", by selecting them and clicking on the button Delete, until you end up with just the layout you want.
  6. Click OK in the text Services and input languages dialog box
  7. Click OK in the region and language control panel.
  8. If you want to avoid problems with open applications stuck in some other keyboard layout, restart Windows.

Furthermore, in my experience, when you click on that English (Canada) during a fresh Windows 7 install, it sets up a single language (English) with several keyboard layouts (American English, French of Canada and Canadian multilingual Standard) and sets the default for U.S. English keyboard layout.

P.S. I'll leave my thoughts on the causes and consequences of this "feature" for another forum.

  • How can I change the language setting for 4500 WANT after the initial Setup

    The language setting for the ENVY 4500 e-all-in-one printer has been mistakenly or inadvertently put in CHINESE (not sure how this can happen).  Now, the display is incomprehensible, so I can not understand how to change the language to ENGLISH.  Is there a simple way to change the language or reset the printer by default so that I can fix this problem?

    Thank you.

  • Help with the language setting

    I've fumbled while trying to set up my new Clip + and accidentally the language selected Arabic-now I can't change it to English because I can't read the poster! I tried to reset the player by pressing the power button, but when I turned it back on, he was always in Arabic mode.  I can do, or should I learn to read Arabic?  Thanks for any help!

    First, turn off the drive, then turn it back on.

    To access the language setting, press the Home button, which should return you to the main menu.  Highlight the settings icon, then press select.  Press the down button three times to access the system settings option.  It is the last option in this submenu.  Press select.

    Press the down button three times again, and it's the language setting.  Press select, and English is the first choice in this submenu.

    Is there a reason why Wondows 7 Premium Home Media Center isn't support / detect my digital TV tuner when the location is set to the Canada? Only the ANALOG tuner is detected. I have ATI TV Wonder HD 750 PCI-E installed

    I am living in Calgary, Alberta Canada and the Canada's analog and digital at the end of August Tv is not broadcast anymore.

    I thought earlier that there will be an update when switch us to television digital broadcasting here in the Canada, but is not passed.

    Yet once, why the Media Center only detects the analog tuner when I have the location defined in the Canada and my correct Postal Code? I enjoy to get an answer to this, if it is the policy of some sort or a miss from Microsoft.

  • How to set the keyboard Viewer in a language other than the main keyboard?

    is it possible to set the keyboard to the screen the viewer into another language (German) than the main (English) keyboard as an easy way to use the keyboard Viewer to make the German characters and umlauts while typing with the keyboard layout English on the main computer keyboard? Use the new Macbook with the latest OSX. Thanks for any advice.

    Visualizer keyboard can reflect only your current layout.

    But type German characters with the English keyboard layout is extremely easy.  Just hold down the key of the basic letter and select the version accentuated in the context menu that appears.  Or use the standard option key shortcuts

  • I have problems setting up Windows Media Center TV Tuner to the Canada.

    I live in the Canada. I have Windows 7. I tried to set up my TV Tuner (for cable-vision, not Internet TV) in the 'Windows Media Center', but there is no "Canada" on the regional list to download my local channels. How do I pass this roadblock?

    Because your computer is 5 years old I guess that TV Tuner came not from IBM. However if that were the case IBM ccontact. If she has not contacted the manufacturer of the TV Tuner. The driver name must match the name of the TV Tuner. You can try to download a driver with your computer. Make sure that your Tuner is connected to your computer. Go to configuration panel, Device Manager, expand "Sound video and game Contolllers" Double click on your Tuner, select the driver tab, click on get updated driver, follow the prompts.

  • The bad language displayed on the LCD after you set up the printer

    HP Photosmart C4450 all-in-one printer Solution Center keeps popping up the following:

    "The wrong language displayed on the LCD after you set up the printer.

    The printer has been upward and works well for months and all of a sudden it stopped working and refusing to speak English.

    It is totally insensitive to one of the buttons pressed. The LCD screen is white and gray just glowing.

    How can I solve this problem?

    Thanks in advance for any help.

    Hello

    I don't know how your printer got himself into this difficult situation, but I think a reset should back you on track.

    I think this could work to its original factory settings to install your printer.

    To do a complete reset follow these steps:

    1. disconnect the power cable from the back of the printer.

    2 do nothing for about 30 seconds.

    3 press and hold the Cancel & color copy, keep their detention now connect the power cord to the back of the printer.

    This should be left to the printer to the condition, it is in when you took it out of the box.

    I hope this helps.

  • Apex, language of login page set after the connection based on the user pref browser lang and application-based

    Hello

    Request Express 4.2.3.00.08

    I created an application of multi languaguage in which the language is defined by setting: FSP_LANGUAGE_PREFERENCE

    But the login page, I would like to than the login page to be displayed in the browsers language.

    The url of the application connection looks like as shown below but the & BROWSER_LANGUAGE. product always (English).

    f? p = & APP_ID.:LOGIN_DESKTOP: & SESSION. : FSP_LANGUAGE_PREFERENCE: & BROWSER_LANGUAGE.


    LOGIN_DESKTOP is an intermediate page that has one before branch header for the page of real connection if the FSP_LANGUAGE_PREFERENCE is set prior to the loading of the page.

    If I set the language set in this URL, it works as expected:

    f? p = & APP_ID.:LOGIN_DESKTOP: & SESSION. : FSP_LANGUAGE_PREFERENCE:nl - page Login Show in NL

    f? p = & APP_ID.:LOGIN_DESKTOP: & SESSION. : FSP_LANGUAGE_PREFERENCE:-see the login page in EN

    When I put the application to choose the language based on the browser language that it works, but then I am not able to have users to save their preferences for the next time they are connected.

    Any ideas on why & BROWSER_LANGUAGE. translates by "in" even though the language in the browser is different?

    See you soon

    Bottom

    OK, he stares at me

    For all those interested, this is how.

    Create a page additional empy (with alias page LOGIN_FORWARD_PAGE) and set the url to connect to the application of this new page and set the value of the application on BRANCH_TO_PAGE_ACCEPT:

    f? p = & APP_ID.: LOGIN_FORWARD_PAGE: & SESSION. : BRANCH_TO_PAGE_ACCEPT:

    On the page to create a pl/sql process submit before calculations similar to one below which affect the en language, if the browser is not NL (in Dutch):

    If upper (substr (owa_util.get_cgi_env ('HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE'), 1, 2)) = "NL" then

    : FSP_LANGUAGE_PREFERENCE: = "nl";

    on the other

    : FSP_LANGUAGE_PREFERENCE: = 'en ';

    end if;

    And create a branch to submit before the treatment which redirects to the current login page (the value of FSP_LANGUAGE_PREFERENCE is then already set and the application is configured to use this setting).

    After that loging in you can extract the FSP_LANGUAGE_PREFERENCE based on the user.

    BTW, I had to switch to 4.2.5 there in 4.2.3 is a bug preventing to set session state when you use BRANCH_TO_PAGE_ACCEPT!

  • Set the scripting language (regardless of the language of the interface)

    I just installed the offline version of Adobe Story, but I am really intrigued by the product. The major problem is that there is no way to set the script language. I have several scripts - in various languages - I'd like to load up on Adobe Story, but it seems that she only accepts English. Before can connect you, there is the possibility to choose the language of the INTERFACE, but not the script. Please note that there is no logical link between the language used for the interface of an application (I always put interfaces of applications in English otherwise it's a mess to present a trouble ticket) and the language of the documents created by this request. I can create several documents in different languages in the same session, for example. Also, I could have more than one language in the same script, especially for dialog boxes. It looks like the one who designed this product don't have much confidence with multilingual platforms... It is very oriented to English
