Martin71 Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 Hello, Hope some of you tech guru's can help me out, I have a Lenovo Ideapad 330 with windows 10. It has a dual language keyboard Eng / Thai... is there any way I can switch between the languages without going into region/ time zone settings and all that malarky... Cheers in advance...

Martin71 If it's already installed, go to the flag representing the English language and click on it and it should give you the option to change back and forth. No flag? You'll have to install the Thai language and set it up in Windows 10. Search for "setting up keyboard language Windows 10" and look for a Youtube video. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kickstart Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 On my computer I just press the button, maybe for a second or two, above the Tab key, next to the number one, and that will change the language. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottiejohn Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 Which version of Windows do you have? If it is single language then forget changing! Hit the "windows" key and "r" and type "winver" and report back! Then we can help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharlieH Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 In the far right bottom corner, you may have a language stated as Eng, click that and you have the opportunity to switch, those activated will be listed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

connda Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 Sorry - bad info on my part. No flag (only on my Linux system). Your taskbar should look something like this: Click on ENG and it will give you an option of either English or Thai 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthernRyland Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 I never learned to type Thai so respect to you for trying. There's so many characters it's just mental. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoDisplayName Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 Go to settings. Type in 'language' to get menu options. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin71 Posted May 11 Author Share Posted May 11 Tried a few of the above idea's (many thanks to you all by the way)..but my computer says my licence only allows one language..which surprised me for a keyboard with Eng and Thai characters.....

Mine only allows one display language but you can still add keyboard languages in 'Language and region'. Then you can check which key is set up to switch languages. I think it's usually the squiggle key "~" next to 1 on the keyboard. That's how it's set up on mine and I don't think I had to go into the settings myself to do that.
