Learn how to change the language in Windows 7 if you purchased your computer in an Englishspeaking country and want another language to display. So, on the computer Im going to use for browsing the Internet, I change IEs default language. To do this, I select Internet Options on the Tools menu, then click the Languages button. This brings up the Language Preference dialog box that FigureĀ 1 shows. If the English United States en US entry isnt listed, I add it then move it to the top of the Language list box. If the English United States en US entry is already listed but its not at the top of the list box, I move it to the first position. In order for the change to take place, I then refresh IE. It is as simple as that. Note that if you make this change to a computer other than your own, you might want to demote the English United States en US entry when youre done browsing. To do so, just move the language that was previously at the top in that position again. That way, the next user wont have any surprises. Besides putting the English United States en US entry at the top of the Language list box, you can alternatively choose to put English United States en US as the only entry by removing all others or remove all the entries from the dialog box, leaving it empty. However, I have noticed that some sites dont serve English content when these alternative methods are used. In the end, you should choose whichever method works best with the sites you visit most frequently. Just keep in mind that, depending on the website, these three methods might not always produce equivalent results. Alt Shift to change language no longer working after upgrade to Windows 1. Just updated to Windows 1. The expected change language shortcut stopped working. In the settings it shows that Alt Shift is supposed to work, just like before the upgrade, but it does not. The tool tip window that is shown when I float over the language bar says that the shortcut is Windows key Space, which works, but I prefer Alt Shift like it used to be.
