Windows 7: Regional and Language Settings—Need Help

[friedrich]

---

Hi Guys,

Anybody here knows how to set the additional Language settings in windows 7? It's quite simple in XP but i'm having problems with windows 7 (I have Windows 7 Pro). I've read in the Windows website that the said feature requires the Ultimate version. Do you have any workaround for this? I badly need to install those additional languages.

This is how it looks in XP. Pretty plain and simple.

thanks, slimzky.

the above steps can't be done in my windows 7 version (pro) because it doesn't have the "Install display languages" button. Feature is disabled.

However, i did my research a while ago and I came across with this:
Changing Installed Language of Windows 7 (Home Premium, Pro) and hack multi-language tablet recognition xaueious

I haven't tested it yet but I'm hoping it will work.

Thanks.
