isn't it easier just to install Jap Applocal????
adminReply
Yes, it is easier to install applocale, but some games won't work with it.

Will my computer still works the same after changing the language locale? And should I use the applocale as well? Thanks. Using Windows 7 Starter.

Only visual difference is that slash symbol in directory paths will look like Yen currency one. Non-english programs might display characters improperly too, but it's all reversible - you can change locale back anytime you want.
With applocale you don't need to change locale of whole system, but it doesn't work for some games.

I just reformat my comp into windows 7 from xp
With all the comments here I had understand that the steps here are the same for windows 7.

I just have a question does this apply to all kinds of windows 7? even starter?
Cuz I'm planning on putting this on my netbook which has a windows 7 starter

Are these the same steps for the Home Premium version of Vista? If not, what are those?
