Guest jmtmorgan Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 Lost English in Language Bar On XP, lost English from language bar - To correct, click 'start' button, then 'control panel', then 'regional and language..', then 'advanced', and in 'Select a language to match...', select language to add which in this case is English(United States), click OK, you will receive a notice that ´the required files are already installed...´, click Yes, and notice will appear 'ýou must restart your computer...', click Yes. If you are locked into a language other than English, then you will not be able to find this help. So this is for future use. Do not dispair. In IE, if your preference for search language is English (under Tools, Internet Options, Languages), in the search input field, just type english words in whatever language you are locked into, and it will be translated into the drop down previous search box. Select and search. In Firefox, the above does not work, so select the 'translate' button at top, and in Google translate, select the 'translated search' button on left hand side. For 'my language' button, select language you are locked into, and select English for 'search pages written in'. Type what you want in English but do not look at what is being typed. It will throw you off. What I had was ך×Âדנקמעךןדי ×Âמ ךשמעושעק נשר יקךפ Hit 'Translate and Search' button and Google will ask if you are looking for 'lost english on language bar help'. Copy it and go back to Firefox home, and assuming search preference is English, insert and search. Happy hunting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jmtmorgan Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 Correction to above. Initially, do the following: Right click language bar on right bottom, click 'settings', select add, in 'input language' button, search for English (or any other language), default keyboard will be given, select 'OK', 'Apply', 'OK'. If this does not work for some reason, try the above. One further note: In above instructions, if the language you want is in the same language currently in the box, actually open up the box to find and select the language desired in order to get the 'Apply' button. jmtmorgan wrote: >Lost English in Language Bar >On XP, lost English from language bar - To correct, click 'start' button, >then 'control panel', then 'regional and language..', then 'advanced', and in >'Select a language to match...', select language to add which in this case is >English(United States), click OK, you will receive a notice that ´the >required files are already installed...´, click Yes, and notice will appear >'ýou must restart your computer...', click Yes. > >If you are locked into a language other than English, then you will not be >able to find this help.
