Did you know that you can switch languages in Windows Live without having to reinstall the Essentials suite? In this tip, let’s take a look how this works:
  1. Exit any running programs of Windows Live Essentials (e.g., Messenger, Mail, etc).
  2. Click Start, Computer. (Windows XP: Start, My Computer.)
  3. Open Local Disk (C:), Program Files, Windows Live, Installer.
  4. Double click the LangSelector.exe file.
  5. In the appearing window, choose your favorite language.
  6. Now click OK to confirm your change. If the language pack is not yet installed, it gets downloaded automatically.
  7. As soon as the progress dialog has closed, you’re ready to use Windows Live Essentials in the changed language!

Tip: In your Control Panel, open the Regional settings section. You will find a shortcut to change the Windows Live language there as well!

You may change languages as often as you want to, without rebooting your computer. To follow the steps above, you need to have Windows Live Essentials 2011 (15.4) installed. This version is available for free download at explore.live.com and runs on Windows 7 and Vista.
