Solving the garbled characters of some simplified software in Hong Kong

The sisters living in Hong Kong installed the simplified Chinese version of the flagship version of Windows7, but there will always be garbled when using some Simplified Chinese software. Can't Hong Kong users use these simplified software? In fact, Windows 7 itself has provided a complete solution, let's see what's going on.

First, Windows 7 garbled problems come and go

The sister who lives in Hong Kong installed the simplified Chinese version of Win7 Ultimate, I can reasonably be compatible with 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.

We know that Unicode can also be called Unicode, which sets a uniform and unique binary code 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 package

First of all, to be able to install multiple language packs of Windows 7 can only be the flagship version or Enterprise Edition, then we will solve this problem. We click on "Start-Windows Update" to open the automatic update window.

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

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

A reboot of the language pack patch is required. 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 in the Control Panel and select the “Manage” option to set the “current language used in non-Unicode programs” to “Simplified Chinese”.

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

And the system interface has become a traditional Chinese.

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.

The same problem occurs in other versions of Windows. The solution is basically the same. However, the multi-language package installation function of Windows 7 is much more convenient than the previous system.
