Attention! This instruction is only suitable for Russification of Ultimate and Enterprise . For other versions, read the note on Russification of Starter , Home Basic , Home Premium and Business .
The other day I installed (out of curiosity) this shopify website design lousy Windows Vista of theirs. I'll be honest - after reading tons of crap poured out on Microsoft's new brainchild, I expected the worst. Some (but not all!) things work very well, and in terms of the beauty of the interface, Windows Vista certainly has no competitors.
But this post is about something else - about Russification of Windows Vista . The Vista I installed was in Portuguese and of course I wanted to install Russian on it, fortunately I had already heard about the ease of changing the language in this version of Windows.
But knowing this is one thing, and finding a Russifier is another. It was impossible to find a Russifier on the Microsoft website (although, as it turned out later...), on various forums there were only links to Russifiers for test versions of Vista, and the manuals dedicated to the Russification process were frightening with their length and complexity. And then, when patience was running out, one of NNM's posts found one!
Oddly enough, the file is on the Microsoft website, that is, it is a completely official Windows Vista Russifier . The strange thing is that it is such a problem to find it there.
The file weighs 145 MB. Not everything is translated - sometimes you come across phrases "not in our language", although in general everything is quite good. After downloading, you only need to run the resulting file, restart Windows, select "display language" in the control panel - Russian, restart Windows again and voila...
Download official Windows Vista Russifier
After installation and reboot, do the following:
1. Open the Regional and Language Options window by clicking the Start button and selecting Control Panel - Clock, Language, and Region - Language and Regional Options .
2. Go to the Languages and Keyboards tab .
3. Under the Interface Language line , select a language from the list provided and click OK.
That's all I can say about Windows Vista. For now, I'll be using XP. It may not be as pretty as Vista, but all the programs I need work as they should.
