Thai Language On Oz Pc

[fishhooks]

This is a nignoy double-up as I've posted the same request in the Internet Section, but no answers yet!

Taking Thai wife with Spouse Visa to Australia next Thursday.

I want her to be able to use my PC (in Melbourne) and whilst she is progressing well with written and spoken English, I would like to avail her of her own language for say Micro Word and for emails to her friends.

Really all I need to do is have the PC do what can be done in all the Internet Cafe's here.

I have Windows ME as the operating system, but will most likely upgrade this to say XP.

Also have a normal English edition Micro. Office.

Getting varying answers at Pantip and Fortune, some say I need two operating systems in the one PC, but I notice all Internet Cafe's just seem to have the one.

I've already purchased a Keyboard with the dual markings on the keys and originally thought I would just need a Thai version of "Office" which would follow through to emails when the Keyboard is switched.

Little bit lost!

If you upgrade to XP, the facility to use Thai is already there, it just needs installing.

If you go control panel > language and regional options > add other languages > check install files for complex scripts (including Thai) and click OK, you should then be up and running. A little language icon should appear on your taskbar with "EN" for English and "TH" for Thai and you can then toggle between the two as needed.

I think with ME you need additional discs to install Thai.

Scouse.
