My computer is a Eee and its in german i dont read german. I needed to change my settings to english. I need to be guided.

Thanks for visiting FixYa!

The first thing you are going to need to do is to take a look at the manual for the phone in English (if you can't read German.)

Then, you'll need to view an owner's manual in German - to compare the directions. And, third, you'll probably need an online translator to translate German to English.

The link to view the manual in English: http://www.motorola.com/staticfiles/Support/IN-EN/Mobile%20Phones/C118/IN-EN/_Documents/Static%20Files/C118_UG_IN_EN_6802923J10_V1.pdf

The link to view the manual in German: http://safemanuals.com/user-guide-instructions-owner-manual/MOTOROLA/C118-_D (Look to the top right of the page in the top of the box - Manual is in German.)

Here's a link for an online translator: http://www.worldlingo.com/products_services/worldlingo_translator.html

The option for language (change) should be in settings.

HI, Change Language of Operating System there is 3 method:- 1) Install in English Instead of using initramfs for booting eeepc use this modified initramfs image:
http://www.roberto.foglietta.name/pub/xepc/en/initramfs.cpio.gz
This setup English localization only if the firstrun does not happen before and the localization would be written down into read-write partition. So this image is useful only during intallation.
2) Automatic Method locale_dialog can do this for you for English. Go to a terminal: Ctrl-Alt-T and type:
/opt/xandros/bin/locale_dialog
A simple dialog will open with a list of languages. Choose your desired language and press OK buttun (it's the button on the left). The system asks for reboot. Again press OK button (it's the burron on the left). Congratulations!
You may want to uninstall Taiwanese software,or programs, or languagepacks to save diskspace (tested on EeePc701). This does not uninstall the English versions or programs! Go here: http://wiki.eeeuser.com/howto:freespace
The above fails to revert all the dialog boxs to english in eee 701 etc - so see the last paragraph of this help page http://wiki.eeeuser.com/howto:configurefromscratch & change the firstrunwizard and remove the .firstrun file and reboot to an english version eee 701 etc.
3) Manual Method

1. Start Eee PC
2. Press Ctrl-Alt-T to open Terminal
3. Type sudo /usr/bin/oowriter /etc/default/locale &
   (Another editor may be used to modify this file.)
4. Change line to LANG=en_US.UTF-8
5. Type sudo /usr/bin/oowriter /etc/locale.gen &
   (Another editor may be used to modify this file.)
6. Remove the line zh_TW.UTF-8
7. Type sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales and proceed
8. press Ctrl-Alt-backspace or Reboot.

It is also possible to change to another language, e.g.

• Change line to LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8 for French (doesn't work out of the box with these instructions)
• Change line to LANG=en_GB.UTF-8 for English with UK keyboard-layout
• Change line to LANG=it_IT.UTF-8 for Italian
• Change line to LANG=de_GN.UTF-8 for German
• Change line to LANG=zh_TW.UTF-8 for Traditional Chinese
• Change line to LANG=zh_CN.UTF-8 for Sim Chinese

More information on language settings can be found in the i18n document.

i hope this will solve your problem.

goodluck

If you go to control pannel, select languages and setting, select the lnguage you require and, if it is loaded in the notebook, you can set it as that.

How to change OS language from Dutch to English? The regional settings change only the keyboard, the multilanguage option is not available on ASUS Eee PC's XP Home!!! It is just a localized version: it saya everything in Dutch.
Reinstalling in English, I can not use my clean serial, it does not accept it and also I lose all the drivers...
So how could we REALLY do it?

If you can get to your settings area it looks like a little gear. Go 6 options down and touch it and you should be able to change it there. The user manual is in the link below if you need more technical information.

This might be a problem.. Windows controls the actual display language (thats the dialog boxes, the windows and all the screen messages you see).

If you have a german copy of windows it might be just german. That means you might NOT be able to change the display language to english.

IF you have what's called windows MUI you might be able to change the display language.

Ask the guy or company you bought it from if they have windows CD's. You're likely going to need them. See if by any remote chance you DO have Windows XP MUI (stands for multi user interface)

It's unlikely you do, but at least ask.


There are options to change the language but it's usually not for the display it's for spelling or how dates and the like appear.
