How-to: Use Windows Live in your favorite language
Posted by mynetx on Tue 09 Nov 2010 (17:52 GMT) (130054 views)
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.

Did this work for you?

Windows Live Messenger 2011 due this August

What, Windows Live Messenger 2010 has not even been released yet? Yes, Windows Live Essentials 2010 is actually going to hold the year of 2011, suggesting longer gaps between program releases, according to one Microsoft employee:

I understand that as has been secret until now the name of the Wave 4 (internal name) is they cost more to know these details. And then going to go bragging to post this information in your next post, arguing that "these rumors" or "these sources" for example my WLWave4 roadmap that i posted in exclusive ... Finally, this is not a rumor, is totally true (I confirmed 100%) and I am not the source of anyone, least of those who do not make a single credit to the author of the news.



Although this has not been officially confirmed by Microsoft (I hope the source's first language isn't English), there are several reasons why this could be the case. For now however, we will refer to the upcoming release as Messenger 2010 until we can read an official press release, when we will amend all our previous posts.
