Windows Vista Ultimate?
Okay, so I have a HP notebook with Vista Home Premium.
I bought the notebook here in New York City where I live, so of course the language that is displayed is in English.
I’m a native of Sicily, Italy and I’ve been trying to figure out how to change the default language on the computer.
Like, to where it would say “Benvenuto” instead of “Welcome” when you log in.
I read that you can install LIPs, but I can’t find one for Italian.
Then I read that Vista Ultimate would let me change the default language to Italian, or I could download a Multi language Interface, which you can’t do on Home Premium.
I just wanted to make sure that all of this is correct for for I got spend about 300 dollars on Vista Ultimate.
Grazie!
The display language is the language that Windows uses in wizards, dialog boxes, menus, Help and Support topics, and other items in the user interface. Some display languages are installed by default, and others require you to install additional language files. When you change the display language, it is changed for your user account and is not changed on the Welcome screen. If you want to set the display language for multiple users or the Welcome screen, see Apply regional and language settings to reserved accounts.
1. Open Regional and Language Options by clicking the Start button Picture of the Start button, clicking Control Panel, clicking Clock, Language, and Region, and then clicking Regional and Language Options.
2. Click the Keyboards and Languages tab.
3. Under Display language, choose a language from the list, and then click OK.
Note: If you don’t see the list of display languages, you need to install additional language files first. For more information, see Install a display language.
When you change the display language, the text in menus and dialog boxes for some programs might not be in the language that you want. This happens because the program might not support Unicode. For more information about changing the text in menus and dialog boxes for programs that do not support Unicode, see Change the system locale.
