How to install the Belarusian language on the language bar. How to add or remove a language in Windows XP, enable right-to-left writing and hieroglyphs. My Computer Icon

When installing the Winodws operating system, be it XP, Vista, 7, 8, etc., you will see two languages ​​in the language bar that is in the tray. This includes the main language (for us it is Russian) and additionally English. But not all users know that additional languages ​​can be added to the panel. That is what I will talk about today. An example will be shown based on Windows 7.

The first step is to open the control panel. To do this, click on the "Start" button, and then select the "Control Panel" item.

When the Computer Settings window opens, select Regional and Language Options.

A window of the same name will open in front of you. Here's what it looks like.

Select the "Languages ​​and Keyboards" tab, then click on the "Change Keyboards" button.

A small window will open. Staying on the "General" tab, click on the "Add" button.

In the add language window, you need to select the language itself. For example, I select the Italian language, check the box next to it and click on the OK button.

Language added. If you suddenly want to remove it, click on the language itself, then click on the "Delete" button. If everything is in order, click on the "Apply" button to save all changes.

To check that the language is definitely added, click on the language bar and see the added language.

In a similar way, you can add a lot of different languages ​​​​to your taste.

Only two languages ​​are available: Russian and English. For most users, this is enough. But, if you need to enter text in another language (for example, in Ukrainian), then you need to add this language to the language bar. Luckily, this is pretty easy to do. Now we will walk you through how to add a language to the language bar step by step.

And go to the "Clock, language and region" section.

After that, the "Regional and Language Options" window will open in front of you. Here you need to go to the "Languages ​​and Keyboards" tab and click on the "Change Keyboard" button.

After that, a small window will appear for adding languages ​​to the language bar. Here you need to mark those languages ​​that you want to add and click on the "OK" button.

Other settings for the language bar and input languages

In addition to adding a language to the language bar, other settings can be made in the Text Input Languages ​​and Services window. For example, you can change the default input language. To do this, select the desired language in the drop-down list at the top of the window.

You can also change the order of languages ​​in the language bar. To do this, select one of the languages ​​and change the position using the up and down buttons.

If you go to the "Language Bar" tab, you will see settings that relate directly to the Language Bar itself. Here you can hide the language bar, pin it to the taskbar, or allow it to be located anywhere on the screen. Also here you can turn on the transparency of the language bar and enable the display of additional icons.

On the last tab, which is called “Keyboard Switching”, you can change the logic of the Caps Lock mode, as well as change the keyboard shortcut responsible for switching input languages.

As you can see, the language bar has many different settings, which allows you to customize the work with input languages ​​in a way that is convenient for each specific user.

In Russian-speaking Windows 7, almost always initially there are only 2 languages ​​​​for text input: Russian and English. Often there are situations when Ukrainian, French, German, Spanish, Portuguese or some other input language is required for work or study, and in your Windows it is not available in the language bar. No big deal, it's easy to fix in minutes. In this article, I will show you how to add a language to Windows 7 in two ways.

How to add a language in Windows 7. The first way

The easiest way to add a new input language is through the language bar options. To do this, right-click on your current language in the Windows taskbar (usually at the bottom right of the screen, slightly to the left of the time, RU or EN). Select from the list that appears "Options ..".

The "Text input languages ​​and services" window will open, click the "Add" button to the right of the list of your current input languages.

Scroll through the list and click on the [+] next to the desired language, then click the [+] next to "Keyboard" under the selected language, check the box next to the desired keyboard layout. Click OK.

Now when you change the keyboard layout (Alt + Shift or Ctrl + Shift), you will be able to enter text in the language that you just added to the Windows 7 language bar.

How to add a language in Windows 7. The second method

The second way to add an input language is similar to the first, the only difference is that we will add the language not through the language bar settings, but through the Windows control panel. Click Start Menu —> Control Panel —> Clock, Language and Region —>, or Start Menu —> Control Panel —> Regional and Language Options. In the window that opens, select the tab "Languages ​​and keyboards", click the button "Change keyboard ..".

The Text Input Languages ​​and Services window opens. Next, add the language in the same way as it is written in the first method. I will not repeat. You can add as many input languages ​​as you like, but I do not recommend too many, otherwise it becomes inconvenient to switch between them.

Windows on a computer, two languages ​​are available on the language bar: Russian and English. For many users, this is enough, but what if, for example, you live in Ukraine and you need the Ukrainian language. It turns out that you need to add this language to the language bar. Now I will show you step by step and tell you how to add a language to the language bar.

Open the control panel and go to the "Clock, language and region" section.

In the window that appears, go to the tab "Languages ​​and keyboards" and click on the button "Change keyboard ..."

The Text Input Languages ​​and Services window appears. Here, in order to add a language to the language bar, you need to click on the "Add" button.

Now we have already come to the question of how to add Ukrainian, Belarusian, Kazakh or another language to the language bar in Windows (using Windows 7 as an example).

After clicking on the above "Add" button, you will see a window where you need to select the language that you need on the language bar. Just check the box and click OK.

Then click the OK button again to close the Text Input Languages ​​and Services window.

How to change the default input language and other options

In order to make a certain input language the default when entering from the keyboard, you need to select the desired language in the list at the top of the list in the "Languages ​​and text input services" window and click the "OK" button.

The other day, a friend called me and asked how to add the Kazakh language to the Windows language bar. I didn’t do this over the phone, since this process seems to be easy, but it needs to be shown by example, and without a computer at hand, this is problematic.

Today I will show you how to enable the keyboard layouts you need and customize the keyboard control panel in the Windows 10 operating system.

By default, in the Russian-language version of the operating system, two languages ​​\u200b\u200bRussian and English are available and used, but if you wish, you can work in any one that is convenient for you. You can get into the language settings in different ways, consider a few of them.

The first is the keyboard layout near the date and time

In the lower right corner, near the time, left-click on the language.

Three tabs appear: RUS, ENG and language settings, go to the bottom one - gear.

We get into the parameters Region and Language. You can type in any language that is acceptable to you, added to this list. Click on plus + add language.

In the proposed list, select the one you need, or enter its name in the search if you are too lazy to search.

For example, I will choose French, you are the one you need.

It turns out that French has seven varieties, I will indicate French (France).

There is a new available language pack (France).

A Windows notification also appears - adding a number of new functions to Windows, it will not take much time, settings in the parameters.

When you click on the notification, a window for managing additional components opens, in which you can select the desired one or the ones you need and install it as you wish. French input, OCR, text conversion and more.

Again, click on the language next to the date and time, look at the available keyboard layouts and the result. Russian, English and French.

In the same way, you can add any available keyboard layout possible on Windows 10.

Adding the desired language using the keyboard layout

The second way is the control panel

We get into the settings of the computer settings, go to the tab hours, language and region.

Click on language or add a language.

A list of used ones opens, click add language.

It is possible to choose the name of the language or the writing system. You can use search to find other languages.

For example, I'll add a Chinese (Traditional) keyboard layout and click open.

There are three varieties: Hong Kong (SAR), Macau (SAR) and Taiwan. I expose Hong Kong and click to add.

Notifications appear in the notification center when a new keyboard layout is added.

Now we have four keyboard layouts available for use: Russian, English, French and Chinese.

You can change the priority and order of languages, remove or add for the convenience of working at a computer.

Alternative ways to enter language settings

Also, you can get into the keyboard layout settings through the Start menu, search in Windows and the icon of my computer.

Start Menu

We go to the start menu.

It can be easily changed. Click on the desired keyboard layout near the date and time> go to settings> select the desired one> click use as the main language.
