Solve the English version of Win8 in Chinese display garbled method

Many foreign friends, have to use the English version of the win8 system. When you run the Simplified Chinese program in the English version of the win8 operating system, the program may Chinese cannot be displayed normally, and Chinese has become garbled. This is because the text encoding used by most Chinese programs is different from the text encoding of the Windows 8 English system. We can use the following method to easily set up the system to display Chinese normally. Children's shoes that are plagued by garbled characters can be easily set up to solve the garbled troubles.

This solution is the same as the one in Windows 7. You can ignore this log if you have already viewed Windows 7 and can correct it yourself.

Description of the method: Control Panel→Clock,Language and Region→Region→Administrative→change system locale…→ Chinese(Simplified,PRC)→ Restart now

First look at the garbled problem.

For the screenshot of Dr.Com used by the school, you can see that many Chinese characters display garbled characters

The solution is as follows:

Select “Clock,Language and Region"(Regional and Language)

Select “Region”(Region)

In the dialog window that pops up, switch to the “Administrative” tab and select “change system locale….”

A reboot prompt will pop up. Save the document you are editing and select “Restart now”.

After rebooting, you can see that the garbled program can be displayed normally.

In addition, there may be some programs that do not display properly, then we have to be right, then we can only modify “Formats” (format) together.

After this modification, the garbled characters in the general software can be displayed normally.

But the problem that comes with it is that the format of the display time has also become Chinese.

If you are a foreign student, you need to distinguish between winter time and summer time, which seems even more tragic. . .

However, at least the garbled problem has been solved.

Sometimes, garbled characters can also appear in opening a web page. As shown below (because the example can not be found, this garbled is manually modified, the site has been normal, except when the wind is blowing)

At this point, we can make changes through the settings of the browser. . Take FireFox as an example. Other browsers are the same:

Select the text encoding method as “GBK” At this time, the garbled problem of the common Chinese website can generally be solved. If not, other coding attempts can be replaced. For foreign languages, please select the corresponding encoding mode.
