a1falang Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 I run Windows Pro 8 in English, no menus or anything in Thai. Whenever I try to download Yahoo Messenger, however, all the menus in the chat program appear in Thai when opened. A Thai friend has looked all through the menus and can't find any option to change the language. in Messenger itself. I've tried uninstalling, find a Yahoo Messenger download page that's in English, and downloading from there, but the program menu still appears in Thai once installed and opened. Any suggestions?

Those options are clearly already in English, and the Yahoo Messenger options that appear in my version are in Thai. Furthermore, these options that appear in Thai have have already been read by a Thai speaker, and nothing appears in Thai to be the equivalent of "Change language" or even "Preferences".The version I have downloaded is 0.8.231 and no older versions seem to be available.

a1falang Posted January 22, 2017 Author Share Posted January 22, 2017 I've just found out Yahoo Messenger does have a web version I can log into using a browser, so I'll use that if I can't resolve this language issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichCor Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 It's possible that Yahoo is delivering a language-specific version based on your geo-location. A few people complaining about something similar in the Yahoo! Help Community forum, with unhelpful suggestions. Try uninstalling/deleting the app, invoke a VPN (any of the free ones should do, pointed to an English speaking country), download and install again.

Get Real Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 (edited) Due to that Yahoo Messenger is a freeware software, there is an easy solution to your problem. As there is many torrent sites that also offers freeware version of software, you can go to one of thoose and download a offline installer version or a portable version in english. That should solve your problem. Edited January 24, 2017 by Get Real Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJCM Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 (edited) I just downloaded the Offline Installer from here: https://s.yimg.com/jd/desktop/0.8.231/yahoo-messenger-0.8.231-win32.exe Installed it in a Sandbox and it was in English. So if you install this one and it comes up again in Thai, then check the recommendation made by @chrisinth Quote I would also check both Language and Region settings in your control panel.
