The solution of Windows7 garbled problem

Recently, Hong Kong's sister also installed Windows 7, but, to her annoyance is the use of some Simplified Chinese software appears garbled. And these software can not find the traditional version, such as: thunder, even if the barely installed good can not easily use. Can't Hong Kong users be able to use these simplified software? In fact, Windows 7 itself has already provided a complete solution.

First, the ins and outs of Windows 7 garbled problem

Our sister, who is living in Hong Kong, installs the Simplified Chinese version of Windows 7 flagship, which is supposedly compatible with simplified software, but the problem is that the sister has changed the default installation settings. Because her sister often used traditional software, she set the system's "Regional and Language" format, "Location", "Default input Language", "Non-Unicode program language" to be more comfortable Hong Kong traditional.

We know that Unicode can also be called a unified code, a uniform and unique binary encoding is set for each character in each language to accommodate Cross-language, cross-platform text conversion processing, but there are many programs that do not support the encoding, and it is necessary to set the language encoding used by non-Unicode programs. Like the Thunderbolt software to support the Simplified Chinese code, and does not support Unicode, when set the Hong Kong traditional non-Unicode will appear garbled, similarly, the non-Unicode set to simplified, many do not support Unicode traditional software will appear garbled. Is this garbled problem a dilemma? In fact, we use the Windows 7 Language Pack patch installation features can be successfully resolved.

Second, cleverly solve Windows 7 garbled

1. Install the appropriate language pack

First, Windows 7, which can install multiple language packs, can only be a flagship or Enterprise Edition, and then we'll solve the problem. We click on "Start-windows Update" To open the Automatic Updates window.

Click on the "34 optional Updates" link in the window and select "Traditional Chinese language Pack" in the list of language packs that can be downloaded and installed, OK.

Back to the window just click the "Install Update" button to start downloading the installation.

Installing a language Pack patch requires a reboot. The reboot process requires a patch to be configured.

2. Reasonable setting of regional and linguistic

After installing the traditional Chinese language, we also need to make a reasonable configuration. Enter the clock, language, and Area options in Control Panel and select the Manage option to set the current language in non-Unicode programs to Simplified Chinese.

This setting requires the computer to be restarted. Then we install all the simplified software, such as: Thunder, QQ, and so on, then these software garbled has disappeared.

And the system interface has become traditional Chinese.

Since the software used in the future is basically traditional, we once again set "the current language in non-Unicode programs" to "Hong Kong traditional" through the "clock, language, and Region" option. You can set it up again after you reboot the system. In this case, you can install the traditional Chinese software, and then install the Simplified Chinese software again, you need to reset the current language in non-Unicode programs for Simplified Chinese.

Similar problems often occur in other versions of Windows, such as Windows XP, and the solution is close, but Windows 7 's MultiLanguage Pack installation is much more convenient than the previous system.
