Japanese to English System Locale Problem

[Sakimichi]

After changing my system locale from Japanese to English, some of my programs are still in Japanese =.=; Is there any way to revert back everything to English.

Pc's

• > Vista
• >Windows 7

Like you I've run into a similar problem and I think I found a solution. For one I'm using Windows 7, and while the fix may not be a similar issue I'm going to go ahead and explain this anyways.

1. Go to "Control Panel"
2. Go to "Region and Language"
3. Go ahead and switch to the "Administrative Tab"
4. Click the button "Change system Locale..."

Although I thought mine was set to English united states local everywhere... turns out it wasn't.

5. click the drop down and select your preferred language and (Location)
6. Hit "OK" and restart your computer when prompted.
[Now you may run a program and notice it's still in Japanese EHHH? You'll need to reinstall any conflicting programs that have this language issue.]
7. So first uninstall the programs you still have issues with.
8. Re-install and they should now be in your preferred language.

I hope this solves any issues of this nature, I had a similar problem and upon long inspection found this was an effective resolution to the oddity.

Found this somewhere. Hope it helps.
