Language Barrier

Hey folks,

In short....

I'm overseas, I'm not tech savvy and my problems will be programming language barriers.

1. My new computer will be made with no English programs so my concern is with BIOS, OS and so on...Is there a way for me to change to English?

2. Is there a way to change Win 7 to English or must I buy "another" copy in English?

Thanks in advance.

Cancel the order and buy from someone who can supply it in English.

It doesn't matter how much time or money you save if you can't use the final product.

You don't have to be tech-savvy to set Windows to English (even a "foreign" edition of Win 7 should include multilingual options), but you first have to figure out the choices in whatever language it comes set to. A good translation dictionary MIGHT be enough.

Better is to have a system you can use out of the box.

Thanks. Was thinking of shipping one over, but I've been told from a friend that my host country government is gonna tax the crap out of me (Hundreds of dollars).

Looks like I'm gonna be shelling out cash...

Ouch. Check first, and make sure the ones who could do it locally can't set everything to English for you. (I should have put that in the first post -- caffeine levels weren't high enough yet.)
