Windows 98 Chinese-English Conversion Help

[Pottsie]

G'day all,

Just wondering if you guys could help me out here with what seems to be a difficult problem, but can probably be solved with a mouse-click or two ;-)

I've got an old compuer thats going to become a small-scale file server for a small network. Problem is that its currently in Chinese, which I don't understand.

What I'm looking to do is to be able to change the display language from Chinese to English, but still be able to change it back again if need be.
Is this possible? And if it is, how can it be done?

Thanks in advance,

Pottsie

I say this also because;
this info is found in <drive>:\tools\reskit\help\rk98book.chm file on the 98 CDROM

====================
United States.

The United States version of Windows 98 is based on the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) Windows code page (1252). This is the code page used for most of the single-byte language versions in North America, South America, Eastern Europe, Western Europe, Scandinavia, South Pacific, Africa, and Asia. This version also forms the base for all other versions.

This version also allows users to select a Windows code page for their particular language needs during setup. Choices include Cyrillic (1251), Central Europe (1250), Turkish (1254), Greek (1253), and Baltic (1257). After it is installed, the Windows code page cannot be changed. The United States release version is available in English, German, Italian, Norwegian, Swedish, Dutch, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Danish, Finnish, Russian, Polish, Hungarian, Greek, Turkish, and other languages.

Far East.

Windows 98 is available in Japanese (932), Simplified Chinese (936), Traditional (Taiwan) Chinese (950), and Korean (949). These are the only versions of Windows 98 that support the large character sets and input methods these languages require. They also support a vast array of the unique hardware used in these locales.

Middle East.

Windows 98 is available in Arabic (1256) and Hebrew (1255). These are the only versions of Windows 98 that support mixed right-to-left and left-to-right text processing. The Arabic version also includes support for Farsi (Persian).

Thai.

Windows 98 is based on the Thai code page (876).

For information about ordering a local edition of Windows 98, contact your software vendor or your local Microsoft office.

Thanks for that, we'll see how it all unfolds.

As it turns out, mightn't be using this particular computer yet, but we'll see how it goes.

Thanks for your help
