Sawasdee khrap,

I found it out by mistake when my son was using my older PC I'm using at school and all was changed into Thai. And I mean all.

From time to time, I'm doing translations from English into German and vice versa. When I still had W 7 and no special letters of the German language such as Ä Ö Ü ß had to be copied and pasted and it really gave me a hard time to do only a short translation..

Then I received two German keyboards and with the right program I could do translations much faster.

But to get to the point. Through the change into Thai my son made and programs and icons were in Thai, I was surprised.

I've downloaded the German and Thai language pack and I'm able withing only 30 seconds to change my PC, or my notebook into any language I want.

I've never heard about this option before, so please excuse me if that's knowledge you guys are all using.

Here's how to do it the fastest way: Click on the date and time, then go to Date and time settings- Language and region and you'll see the attached screen.

Then you only have to click on your preferred language and all will change into this language. It also works for the weather report, etc..

​ Conclusion: A computer is only as good as the person who's using it.

Do you see the word "ENG" in the taskbar at the bottom right?

You can choose your language by clicking on that, too.

But that isn't changing all icons on the machine into this language........

Yes, Windows Pro allows you to download as many system & keyboard language as desired. Whereas with a Single Language version of Windows your system languages will be limited to the one language it came with although you can still download many keyboard languages.

Of course could you do that with Windows 7. But not changing the whole PC/notebook commands, icons, etc...into a language of your choice.

Indeed it can. the optional languages can be found in the Optional section of Windows Updates.

Press "windows key" + "space bar" and you can toggle between all the keyboard languages.
