Solve : ++ Windows XP language.?

Answer»

Hey. I recently installed the wrong LANGUAGE version of Windows XP Home x32, turned out to be Portugese/Brazil. After searching from Google for ages, I didn't find any proper ones. Is there a language pack I didn't notice?

Regional & Language options do not work at this point.

-.bump. :/Reinstall is only option. By the way, we don't like bumping on this forum.




How come is the only option? You can patch it from other languages, can't you?You chose when you installed, you can't change this afterwards. I repeat, no way around this problem other than re-installing your system with the preferred language version of Windows.

No.

The language of Windows is the disk itself. a french version of windows XP doesn't have english resources, just as a Chinese version of windows XP doesn't have French resources.

it's not as simple as hitting a switch in regional options- those are limited to keyboard layout and time,date and currency format. You can't change the language there.

lastly, I really don't understand how you "accidentally" install a Portuguese version of Windows XP, the software packaging would be clearly MARKED in Portuguese otherwise, as well as all the various manuals. additionally, if you bought a Portuguese version it will be sold in areas where that is the language. Therefore it's not too presumptuous to say that the salespeople and everybody will be speaking Portuguese. Even a oxygen deprived Zebra isn't going to THINK "well, GOLLY, everybody here speaks Portuguese, the product packaging is in Portuguese, the signage is in Portuguese, but I'm CERTAIN the product itself,despite being sold in a country whose official language is portuguese, will be the English version".

So, either you've been in a heated battle of wits with an oxygen deprived Zebra or you are trying to download a pirated copy and accidentally got the wrong language version. Either one amuses me, of COURSE.
