Adding new language

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.basics (More info?)

Hi,
I always had 2 languages on my computers:English and Polish. When I had to
write Word document in Polish I just switched to Polish language and typed it
without using Character Map. All special Polish characters were hiding under
different buttons on the keyboard. Once I learned where they were hiding,
typing was a breeze. Recently I bought Gateway laptop. I went for the cheaper
one... It did not have Microsoft Office and Microsoft Word preinstalled. I
installed these programs from my old discs since I no longer use my old
laptop. And again I set my laptop to use these two languages as needed. Now
when I want to write something in Polish, I can only use Character Map. It is
slow and frustrating. I have no idea what I am missing. Please help me to
find out how get my keyboard to type polish characters.
Your help will be highly appreciated.

You need to look at setting up Input Locals.

Hi,
I removed Polish language and added it again. My keyboard still does not
switch to Polish language. I did everything right. HELP
