I guess you have to go to Microsoft and download the English Language pack and update your Windows OS with the downloaded lang pack.

that Arabic language now showin on Ms office, what to do , i dont know , have any body have idea how to chage that language, i have tryied alot, but uneffective.,

BTW, which version of windows XP is Windows Crystal XP 2007? I think it should be a pirated version of Windows XP Professional. I know one thing though...Microsoft aint taking it kool with pirates n people who are supporting them by using 'em pirated products. I have seen a situation where someone's OS was locked up by Microsft 'cos he was using a Pirated Windows XP.

 

Beware!!!

You can convert your existing Windows XP in your native language, without any new installation or any other tool, and surprise your friends. Actually the basic idea behind this tutorial and the technique used lies on the existence of Unicode.

 

What is Unicode?

 

It is the unification of dozens of character sets such Latin, Greek, Arabic, French, German, Italian, Spanish, Swedish, Greek, Tamil, Urdu, Thai, Chinese, Telgu, Japanese, Korean, Hindi, Gujarati, etc; The Unicode contains most of the languages all over the world including Hindi, Gujarati, Marathi, Bengali, Tamil, Telugu, Urdu, etc. For this purpose it requires 2 bytes (2*8 bits). There are no negative characters. More information about Unicode can be found at unicode.com.

 

Go to Control Panel>Regional and Language Options. Click on Language tab and check the option named "Install files for complex script and right to left languages". Depending upon your requirement you can also go for "Install files for East Asia languages." Click OK and provide the Windows XP setup CD and restart the system.

After restarting once again go to Control Panel>Regional and Language Options. In Regional Options tab select your language ( e.g. Hindi ) and click on Customize... .Here in Numbers > Standard Digits select your digit set and in Digit substitution select National. You can also go for some other settings in this window.The First Process]

 

If there is discussion of Windows operating system, Registry matters.

Type ?regedit? in Run and you will have registry editor.

In registry editor locate the location "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\ShellNoRoam\MUICache"

Here you will see lots of string key. This is your first working area.

Now start Character Map and select "Mangal" font for Hindi, "Shruti" for Gujarati, ?Latha? for Tamil, ?Tunga? for Kannada, ?Raavi? for Gurumukhi and some other for other languages.

Character Map can be found at

Programs>Accessories>System Tools>Character Map

If it is not there then install it from

Control Panel>Add or Remove Programs>Windows Components>Accessories and Utilities>Accessories>Character Map

Make some setting in combo and list boxes to find your character set.

Select -> Advanced view

Character Set -> Unicode

Group by -> All

Create words of your language by selecting characters from it. If you have done then copy these character. and paste it at the value of specific key in above specified location in RE.

(In the ?Mangal? font select any character. You can see its integer code in status bar. This code is of 16 bit. E.g. U+0915: Devanagari Letter Ka. That?s why you can?t enter it directly from keyboard.)

Now come back to Registry editor (at the above specified location ?H..\S..\M..?). Go down your memory lane and remember that you have seen any of this string values some where in Explorer. Yes, double click on key you want to modify and paste those words (copied in Character Map) here. And you have done it.

For example in Explorer you have seen text ?Wave Sound? for files of ?wav? extension.

So find ?@C:\WINDOWS\inf\unregmp2.exe,-9908? in Registry editor, double click on key, modify it by pasting those words.

In the same manner you can modify tool tip of Recycle Bin, My Computer, Network Connections, etc.

Do the same steps (Step7 & 8) to modify other values.

You don?t need to restart the computer. Just close the explorer windows (if opened) and open it again and see the MAGIC.

It is about how to change the language of the system without reinstalling. During installation, we can choose the language that will be the main, be copied to the hard drive. And on the CD (DVD) stay packages with other languages. And if we want to change the language, we can find these packages and install them manually.

Generally you can set the language when you are installing Windows XP. It is possible that you had not set that option. Obviously Arabic will be showed as the first default lanuage. Maybe you can find the settings of you XP but I am not sure. In this case, I will reinstall and set the English language. I thinks there will be better solutions.
