nam-thip Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 I’ve twice downloaded the 'English' version of Firefox and both times it displays the Thai language. Why is that and how can I change it to English language only? For the moment i've uninstalled Firefox until i have an answer how to run it in English and not Thai.

noahvail Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 Have you tried working through the info on this page? http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/Firefox-Thai-t351842.html And I don't know if it makes a difference, but if you're on a Mac, the latest release 3.6.2 is out.

From what's been suggested I think the answer might be that the download source picks up that my internet provider is Thai so gives me the Thai version.

The regional and language settings in the control panel show that the language is is set to English (United States) and my keyboard is set to US. I think i've sorted the problem out by importing my start page from internet explorer which was yahoo and that seems to have done the trick. Thank's for help and suggestions.

nam-thip Posted April 1, 2010 Author Share Posted April 1, 2010 A big thanks to everyone for their input but i'm now up and running with Firefox. I downloaded Firefox from: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html and downloaded the English version. I then imported my home page from internet explorer which was Yahoo and its all working fine at the moment with no Thai language. I'm not sure but i think the Google search function was creating the Thai language problem. Whatever!! It's sorted!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welo Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 For those of us who want to switch the user interface language of Firefox between 2 or more languages (e.g. for you and your Misses), there is a really nice plugin called 'Quick Locale Switcher' https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1333 This allows you to quickly change the language in Firefox (both user interface and browser locale) from the tools menu, the statusbar, or your Toolbar. Important: this plugin does not automatically install the UI language packs, just choose the desired language(s) from this page: ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/fir....6.2/win32/xpi/ Direct link for Thai Changing the language will trigger a Firefox restart and all currently opened web pages will be reloaded. All standard Firefox menus will then appear in the selected language. More experienced users can assign a language to a Firefox profile, explained here: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Language_packs welo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
