How to change the display language and speech recognition language on LRC Windows 7 computers (and which languages are available)
- UPDATE: Since this page seems to be getting a lot of hits, I want to clarify: The step-by-step guide below only applies after you installed (free) language (or language interface) packs (see list here) on Windows 7 Enterprise or Ultimate SKU (others SKUs cannot add multiple language interfaces). UPDATE2: Things got much easier with Windows 8.
- In order to
- view the GUI of Windows and Internet Explorer in a foreign language,
- use the speech recognition in (a subset of the below) foreign languages,
- and also switch the default language of MS-Office
- Double-click the desktop shortcut “Region and language – Keyboards and languages”.
- Select the desired language from the dropdown box, click “OK”.
- Click: “Log off now”:
- “Log back in” (without restarting).
- And if you want the available display languages in English,
- here are the fully supported (MS Language packs):
Language Native name Arabic العربية Chinese (Simplified) 中文(简体) Chinese (Traditional) 中文 (繁體) English English French français German Deutsch Greek Ελληνικά Hebrew עברית Italian italiano Japanese 日本語 Korean 한국어 Polish polski Portuguese (Brazil) Português Portuguese (Portugal) português Russian Русский Spanish español - and here the partially supported (MS-Language Interface packs):
