A. The ID for the current language is stored in the registry value HKEY_CURRENT_USERControl PanelDesktopMultiUILanguageId. When you request a change to the language, the ID for the new language is stored in HKEY_CURRENT_USERControl PanelDesktopMUILanguagePending and takes effect at the next logon. Both registry values store a number that corresponds to the language ID you've chosen. The table below lists the available value.
Language Name | Language ID |
|---|---|
English (default) | 0409 |
French | 040c |
Spanish | 0c0a |
Italian | 0410 |
Swedish | 041D |
Dutch | 0413 |
Brazilian | 0416 |
Finnish | 040b |
Norwegian | 0414 |
Danish | 0406 |
Hungarian | 040e |
Polish | 0415 |
Russian | 0419 |
Czech | 0405 |
Greek | 0408 |
Portuguese | 0816 |
Turkish | 041f |
Japanese | 0411 |
Korean | 0412 |
German | 0407 |
Chinese (Simplified) | 0804 |
Chinese (Traditional) | 0404 |
Arabic | 0401 |
Hebrew | 040d |
If you request a language change, then want to cancel the change, you can open a registry editor and change the MUILanguagePending value to that of the MultiLanguageId value.
