New Hp15 Laptop - Setting Up Problem With Languages - Help Please!
9 Answers
I have successfully set up this new laptop by copying what was on my old Acer. My only problem is this.....
I have English as main language and Greek as my other language. On my old Acer in the taskbar at the bottom of screen I used to have a little icon EN which, if I clicked on it, changed to EL and I could type in Greek - this is no longer there and I cannot find how to show it!
I have tried everything that was on the old laptop like going into languages - use language list - open language bar - mark against dock in task bar and tick show text....then there is advanced with more options! I cannot get it into task bar at all!
Just one thing - when I set it up it offered a second language and I clicked on Greek. Could I not have saved that correctly?
Thanks everyone

In the 'Language Settings' panel (accessed as in my first post), you can drag a language to the top of the 'preferred languages' list to make it the first choice for Windows. If you click the 'Keyboard' icon, you can use the drop-down menu to choose between automaticall y using the first language shown or any of the other languages that you've got installed....

Open the search tool. (Bottom left - it looks like a magnifying glass).
Type in 'lang' and then click on 'Language settings' (up at the top of the panel).
Under 'Preferred Languages', click 'Add a language'.
Type 'Greek' in the search field and then click on the relevant entry.
Click on 'Next', then on 'Install'.

Once you´ve got more than one language installed, press the Windows key and your spacebar together to enable you to choose which one you want to use.

Hello again Buenchico
Well - I started from scratch and re installed Greek. So now I have it ok but still cannot get the EN/EL showing in the Taskbar! Never mind because if I press and hold Windows and Space keys the options appear on my desktop and I can toggle between them this way.
Thanks again
