2012-02-01T01:55:00+06:00

DON’T do it from “Control Panel”>>“Programs”>>“Turn Windows Features on or off”.
That will cause more trouble. Yes, looking at you, Microsoft.

Here’s how to do it cleanly.

Go to START → “Control panel” → “View installed updates”,
Now scroll down the list, look for Windows Internet Explorer 9 in Microsoft Windows section,
Double-click to Uninstall it,
After finishing, it’s better if you restart immediately,
Your previous IE 8 will be restored,
If you can’t find IE 8 yet by typing “Internet” in the START >> “Search for programs and files”, download IE 8 from here.
However, don’t forget to select right language and right OS version. Install the downloaded file as usual.

However, I highly recommend, as your day-to-day browser, and as a truly faster, secure and reliable Internet browser, consider using Google Chrome or Firefox browser (To get now, click here)

Please Note¶

If you are stuck with Windows 7, operating system of your PC, in a foreign language, this is not what you are looking for. Please check out my relevant post.

Background¶

As I have worked for a giant Korean conglomerate, I have to install Office 2007 Enterprise edition Korean version. I hunted, searched, tested many ways to convert/choose for English. But failed.

But, now, I got it. Here’s how.

Process¶

At first, check of your desired language file (matching with your version of Office) here. For Office 2010, check here.
If it is there, voilà! You got it.
Install the downloaded EXE file. As a security check, plz check the publisher name if it is “Microsoft” or not. If it is “Microsoft”, you have nothing to worry about security.
After completion, please restart your PC or laptop whether Windows tells so or not.
Now, check using MS Office Language preference that is it set or not as below:
…
Now, happily use “Office” in your desired language.
