Change the display language in Windows 10 / 在 Windows 10 改變顯示語言

上學期我的電腦是比較好用且穩定的 Windows 7,但是在開學時要設定網路的時候遇上了一些問題:連上學校的 wifi 網路需要另外的設定,我一開始不知道怎麼下載網路設定的時候去了 Ask Adelaide,也這麼剛好碰上一位非常不客氣的亞洲人:我看不懂你的電腦寫什麼。然後我就吃了閉門羹。
Last semester, my laptop was a Windows 7 one, which was more stable and more user friendly. But I got some problem when I set up my student wifi connection. When I tried to set up the wifi, I went to Ask Adelaide, where I met a very cool Asian man. He said. "I don't understand what your laptop says" and refused to assist me with wifi setting.

事後在網路上查 Windows 7 怎麼把顯示介面改成英文,結果是家用版的Windows 7 SP1 需要另外的語言套件,但是已經無法下載了,所以我的 Window 7 無法在不破解系統的狀況下改成英文介面。因此,上學期的 Windows 7 遇到操作上的問題,只能靠自己了。
I did some research on the internet about changing user interface to an English one. The result was for Windows 7 Home edition SP1, I needed a language pack to change the displayed language. This pack was unavailable anymore so that I could not change my display language without cracking my windows 7. Therefore, for the first semester, I could only figure out my IT issue when I got error messages.


這學期換成 Windows 10 當然不是只有這個原因,不過 Windows 10 的好處之一是顯示語言在設定當中就能更改,重開機就會生效,對於雙語使用者來說是個很方便的功能。
I changed to a Windows 10 this semester for several reasons, not only for the display language. But, an advantage of Windows 10 is that you can easily change the display language in Set-up and it works after next sign-in. This is convenient for bilingual users like me.


進到設定之後,選地區及語言:
在顯示語言的地方改成英文或其他想要的語言之後,下次重開機就會生效了。


In Set-up, choose Region & language:
 Select the display language as you wish and then restart your windows. It's done!
