   In a message on Saturday 02-11-16 Jean Parrot said to Holger Granholm:   
      
   Hi Jean,   
      
   JP> 	Did you finally get the language changed ?   
      
   No, not yet ;o()   
      
   The past three days I have spent with the filemanager, missing news/wx   
   and sports programmes on the tele, to try to find out if the english,   
   (US or GB), language package can be found on the HD. No dice ;o(   
      
   Neither did I find a swedish package, but nevertheless windows writes to   
   me in swedish, except the programs that I have installed myself, where I   
   have chosen english for the language, but even FileZilla (a FTP pgm) has   
   those language files.   
      
   That is a pgm I have installed and chosen english as the language at the   
   installation.   
      
   The directory tree for windows on the 25 GB boot partitions is ENORMOUS.   
   Huge is too small a word for the size.   
      
   On my sifting through the directory tree, I found 56 language files for   
   various windows functions and programs, each function or program having   
   their own choice of language file.   
      
   On my way, I have deleted unnecessary files, since I don't intend to   
   learn all those languages from albanian to zulu, hi.   
      
   Maybe change of language is made through a command that is issued by   
   Windows early in the booting process, choosing the language that the   
   user has chosen, for each pgm/funct in use. That may be the reason for   
   the many language files tied to most (not all) pgms, and the missing   
   language package for the language presently used.   
      
   That would be an easy way to change the op.sys to the wanted language.   
      
   You did recommend me to choose the US english and I have that as a   
   second choice, after GB-en. For the keyboard I have set the swedish, but   
   by Win-Space the choice can be changed to any secondary keybd-   
      
   Next step is an internet hook-up to M$ to have the language changed.   
      
      
   CU L8ER, Sam, OH0NC   
      
   aka Holger
