Microsoft Works Language Fix?
Hello all,
First off I hope I am at the right place since I didn't seem to find it. Second, Let me explain my story, I have a copy of MS Works. But as I don't use it I gave it to my girlfriend (who doesnt speak my native language). So, now we have the problem that MS Works is in a language she can't understand. Is there a way to change the language? Like can you download Language files? Or Translations? Or can I translate it myself? I hope I can do this, since its quite annoying to get a ring every 3 seconds asking what a word means Thanks in advance. Cheers now, Robin |

I hope I can do this, since its quite annoying to get a ring every 3 seconds asking what a word means if Works is designed and sold in the same way as Office, the answer is unfortunately: no, you're stuck with the language edition you bought (unless you can return it wherever you bought it and get the edition you need). Office comes in a bunch of localized versions, and unless you get very special Multi Language editions, there's no way to translate the User Interface. Proofing Tools for other than the edition's languages is another matter entirely (and depends on version of Office). I did try to find out something on the Works homepage, but the "Worldwide" section on http://www.microsoft.com/products/wo...e/default.mspx seems to be pretty much useless.
