| 169297 | 2003-08-21 11:19:00 | My friend's computer has got English ver of XP installed. Is it possible to convert the English interface into Chinese as he has little understanding of the English language. Or, he has to buy another Chinese ver of XP? Cheers |

| 169298 | 2003-08-21 11:39:00 | I have come across a chinese version of 98se but I think this was purchased in a asian country. But to answer your question and I maybe wrong here, I don't think it is possible to convert the English version to chinese and he/she may have to purchase a chinese version and then depending on where it was purchased you may have trouble activating it, ie Microsoft NZ may pickup on the fact that it is a non english version and may suspect it as being copied. BUT AS I SAID EARLIER "I MAYBE WRONG" XP does have the ability to install other languages though but I donot believe this changes the language the XP uses to communicate with the end user ie dropdown menus etc good luck |

| 169301 | 2003-08-21 12:28:00 | I thought that if you go into the language and regional options etc and change the language over, it should change everything to chinese (after a reboot maybe). I've seen it before with all the buttons/menus you name it in korean. |

| 169302 | 2003-08-21 13:11:00 | Hmm, didn't think it would be possible to convert completely to another language but, you might be right PoWa, especially if you download the language packs (or whatever) from MS. It is after all just a reinstall/change of all your fonts including the system ones, isn't it?, the computer is still using numbers to associate things and communicate at the process level.

| 169303 | 2003-08-21 21:45:00 | Need to buy the Chinese XP :( Regional settings to show non Unicode will only works if the application installed is a chinese version, so XP itself would still be in English |
