Changing to English

Post by Michael Caldwell »

Hi, I've just installed Paintshop Prox4 to a computer running Japanese Windows. It appears that it installed the Japanese language version.
Is there any way to change the interface to english, as this would make it much easier to do things.

Thanks in advance,
Michael.

This is for X3 but I assume X4 is similar :-

You know what happens when you assume. XD

Actually in X4 it gives you the option, during install, on which languages you would like it to install on your system. If you don't install English you can't change it to English. I don't know if you can just run a repair session from the installer to add more languages or not though. I've never tried.

So if Brian's method doesn't work, as in English was not installed when you installed the program, then you'll need to run the installer. You might even have to uninstall and reinstall.

People were so excited that we could choose the language rather than having them all simply install on us. Maybe we should have asked for an easy way to install more languages after the fact as well.

Hmm... It actually didn't ask me when it installed (I'm always careful about that, to avoid this very problem ;P)...

ANYWAY, I managed to fix my problem, THANKS for the quick reply guys!

It was a little hard, because the positions have changed, and the Kanji doesn't help, but managed to eventually guess it off the fast-key code ;-P

Gnight all and thanks again!
