windows8.1 Installation

Accidentally downloaded the English version of the windows8.1 operating system, to add Chinese language, the results encountered a lot of problems.

First: Install the Chinese language pack:

Can be added in the Control Panel-add language, this method seems to only update online, that speed, can not endure. You can also download the offline Language pack and open the Lpksetup installation, which is much faster.

Second: code page

The Chinese language pack has been installed and the area has been set-change location, the system display successfully turned into Chinese. But after entering CMD, query the current code page (CHCP instruction) is still 437,CHCP 936 result is invalid code page, really nasty dead. Repeatedly uninstalling the language pack installs the language pack or does not resolve the issue. Later in the area-More love date, time, and number format-management There is also a "Change system locale" button, the problem is resolved after selecting this as China. Microsoft is so covert really killed people ah, also i command line not ripe, later to strengthen AH.

PS: When the main language (display language) is selected as English, and the system region is selected as China, although the system is displayed in English, Chinese is garbled, but CHCP is 936. Therefore the system area and the main language should be two parallel concepts.
