Changing the universal language of windows? :S

Expand Post »

A friend of mine gave me a copy of Windows 2000 they had. I installed only to find it was in Portugese D:

Is there anyway to change the universal language of windows or am I just going to have to get an english copy?

Re: Changing the universal language of windows? :S

no, each CD contains the operating system in just one language (which means that in some countries like Canada and Belgium there'll be several language versions on sale).
Even the versions in the MSDN subscription are not multilingual, if you get the entire thing you'll get several dozen installation CDs.

But why get the English version? Far cheaper to get a Portuegese-English dictionary :lol: :mrgreen:
