Win 7 garbled problem ultimate solution

Recently, my sister living in Hong Kong also installed Windows 7, but what bothers her is that some Simplified Chinese software is garbled. And these software can not find the traditional version, such as: Thunder (Figure 1), even if it is barely installed, it can not be easily used. Can't Hong Kong users use these simplified software? In fact, Windows 7 itself has provided a complete solution.

First, the problem of Windows 7 garbled problems

The sister who lives in Hong Kong installed the simplified Chinese version of Windows 7 Ultimate, I can smoothly compatible with the simplified software, but the problem is The sister has modified the default installation settings. Because her sister often uses traditional software, she sets the system's "region and language""format”,"location","default input language",""non-Unicode program language" It has become a more convenient Hong Kong traditional (Figure 2).

We know that Unicode can also be called Unicode, and a uniform and unique binary code is set for each character of each language to meet the requirements of cross-language and cross-platform text conversion processing. There are a number of programs that do not support this encoding, and it is necessary to set the language encoding used by non-Unicode programs. Software like Thunder supports Simplified Chinese encoding, but does not support Unicode. When setting up Hong Kong traditional non-Unicode, garbled characters will appear. Similarly, after setting non-Unicode to Simplified, many traditional software that does not support Unicode will also appear. Garbled. Is this garbled problem a dilemma? In fact, we can use the language pack patch installation function of Windows 7 to solve it smoothly.

Second, cleverly solve Windows 7 garbled

1. Install the appropriate language pack First of all, to be able to install multiple language packs of Windows 7 can only be the flagship version or enterprise version, then we will To solve this problem. We click on “Start-Windows Update” to open the automatic update window (Figure 3).

Click on the "34 optional updates" link in the window, select "<quo;Traditional Chinese Language Pack" (see Figure 4) in the list of language packs that can be downloaded and installed.

Go back to the previous window and click the "Install Updates" button to start the download and installation (Figure 5).

Installing the language pack patch requires a reboot. The process of restarting requires a patch.

2. Set the area and language reasonably After installing the traditional Chinese language, we need to make a reasonable configuration. Go to the “Clock, Language, and Regions” option of the Control Panel and select the “Manage” option to set the current language used in non-Unicode programs to “Simplified Chinese” (Figure 6). .

This setting requires a restart of the computer. Then we install all the simplified software, such as: Thunder, QQ, etc., then the garbled of these software has disappeared (Figure 7).

And the system interface has become Traditional Chinese (Figure 8).

Since the software used in the daily life is basically traditional, we will set the current language used in non-Unicode programs to “Hong Kong Traditional by the "Clock, Language and Region" option again. ”. Once the system is rebooted again, the setup is complete. At this time, the traditional Chinese software can be installed normally. After installing the Simplified Chinese software again, you need to reset the current language used in non-Unicode programs to be Simplified Chinese.

Similar problems often occur in other versions of Windows, such as Windows XP. The solution is close, but the multi-language package installation of Windows 7 is much more convenient than the previous system.
