About a year (or even more) ago, there was a note on MSB about the Russification of Windows Vista . It aroused considerable interest (judging by the number of comments), but also generated many questions. And the main one is how to Russify those Vistas that are not Ultimate and Enterprise , but on the contrary - bear the proud name Starter , Home Basic , Home Premium and even Business . As is known, Microsoft is not inclined to provide users of these versions the right to change the language.
I won't hide it - on the occasion of purchasing a new laptop with pre-installed (and very licensed) Windows Vista Home Premium in Portuguese, I personally became interested in this issue. This interest grew every day, but I haven't found a solution (a simple and understandable solution) until recently.
And a couple of weeks ago something changed. First on foreign forums, then in some left-wing, worn-out and fragmentary note on one of “our” blogs, and then more and more often I began to come across this name - Vistalizator. Reviews of its work are consistently varied, but among them there are quite a lot of positive ones, which of course could not help but attract me.
Vistalizator is a tool that allows you to change the interface language in Windows Vista editions other than Ultimate and Enterprise, i.e. Starter, Home Basic, Home Premium and Business. Changing the operating system language with its help is simple and fast - after downloading all the necessary files, installing Russian (or any other available) language will take no more than five minutes.
I think that the most accurate and concise description of Vistalizator is a simple list of its capabilities and characteristics from the program's website:
— Vistalizator uses official Microsoft Vista language packs.
— You can install all 35 language files and switch between them.
— Vistalizator works in both 32-bit and 64-bit Vista.
— Compatible with Vista Service Pack 1.
— Compatible with User Account Control (UAC).
— Vista Speech Recognition works with all supported languages: Chinese, English, French, German, Japanese and Spanish.
— Safe to use. During installation, none of the files are changed or overwritten.
In my opinion, the most valuable of all shopify website design the above-mentioned properties of the utility is precisely “ safe use ”. After all, there is nothing worse than when, after installing a particular program, the system begins to work differently than it should. Vistalizator guarantees that this will not happen. If something unexpected happens, the user will always be able to return the system to its “native” language.
By the way - about the unexpected (or rather - about fairly predictable problems). I think it would be right to report them first. Here is what they write on the program's home site :
Sometimes after installing Vistalizer, the Windows Update system stops working . If this happened on your computer, it will be useful to perform the following operation from time to time:
1. Run Vistalizator and return the system to its original language.
2. Run the update system, download all necessary updates and restart the system.
3. Return the desired language back.
Microsoft typically releases service packs once a month, so the above steps won't take too much of your time.
The second problem is incorrect operation of the system with Vistalizer when Windows Search 4.0 is installed . The new search installed with Vista SP1 can cause a number of problems, among which the most indicative is a failure when trying to view the “ Personalization ” of the desktop.
There is only one piece of advice here - uninstall Windows Search 4.0 ( Control Panel -> Programs -> View installed updates
After uninstalling Windows Search 4.0 and restarting your computer, the problem should disappear.
If after reading the above troubles you still want to Russify Vista, read on.
Instructions for installing the Russian language on Windows Vista Home Premium (Starter, Home Basic, Business
1. Vistalizator's creators strongly recommend updating your system to SP1 before installing it. If you haven't installed the first service pack yet, you can download it here . Be prepared - downloading the file itself and installing it takes quite a long time.
3. Then download the language file. Links to various languages for 32-bit and 64-bit systems are provided on the Vistalizator website pages.
4. After downloading the language file, run the Vistalizator.exe file from the folder where you unzipped it. Click the “ Add language ” button:
After a rather long pause, during which a message appears asking us to wait, the “ Install ” button becomes active. Since this has happened, :)let’s try to use it.
The installation of the language pack takes quite a long time, so you can go to the refrigerator and drink, in anticipation of the sight of “proper Windows”, one or two bottles of beer... or whatever else you like.
