Hello dear readers, I decided to write a short note about how to add Ukrainian input in Windows 7.

I noticed, however, I always noticed that after installing the Windows 7 operating system, there are only two languages ​​immediately available, Russian and English. And all the time, or rather when I remember :) I add the Ukrainian language.

Well, what if it was not me who installed the operating system for you :), but someone else, and the Ukrainian language was not added to you. You sit down to type and switch several times, but it only changes from Russian to English and vice versa. First you think what I gave the money for, and only then you start Googling to find a solution to the problem with the Ukrainian language.

Well, let's solve the problem.

1. On the taskbar, right-click on the icon for changing the keyboard layout language and select “Options”, the following window will appear:

2. As you can see, there is no Ukrainian language. Click on the “Add” button.

3. Looking in the list “Ukrainian (Ukraine)” open it, then open “Keyboard” and check the “Ukrainian” box. Don't forget to click “OK” and “Apply”.

4. That's it, Ukrainian language has been added. At the top, in the drop-down menu, you can select which language will be the default.

Here's a little advice. See you soon friends! Good luck!

When installing the Winodws operating system, be it XP, Vista, 7, 8, etc., you will see two languages ​​in the language bar located in the tray. This includes the main language (for us it is Russian) and additionally English. But not all users know what can be added to the panel additional languages. This is exactly what I will talk about today. An example will be shown based on Windows 7.

The first thing you need to do is open the control panel. To do this, click on the “Start” button, and then select “Control Panel”.

When the Computer Settings window opens, select Regional and Language Options.

A window of the same name will open in front of you. This is what it looks like.

Select the "Languages ​​and Keyboards" tab, then click on the "Change Keyboard" button.

A small window will open. Staying on the “General” tab, click on the “Add” button.

In the add language window, you need to select the language itself. For example, I choose Italian, put a tick in front of it and click on the OK button.

Language added. If you suddenly want to remove it, click on the language itself, then click on the “Delete” button. If everything is in order, click on the “Apply” button to save all changes.

To check that the language has been added, click on the language bar and see the added language.

In a similar way, you can add a lot of different languages ​​to suit your taste.

The other day, a friend called me and asked how I could add the Kazakh language to the Windows language bar. I didn’t do this over the phone, since this process seems to be easy, but it needs to be shown with an example, and without a computer at hand it’s problematic to do this.

Today I will show you how to enable the keyboard layouts you need and configure the keyboard control panel in the Windows 10 operating system.

By default, in the Russian-language version of the operating system, two languages ​​are available and used: Russian and English, but if you wish, you can work in any one that is convenient for you. You can get to the language settings in different ways, let's look at a few of them.

The first is the keyboard layout near the date and time

In the lower right corner, near the time, left-click on the language.

Three tabs appear: RUS, ENG and language settings, go to the bottom one - gear.

We get into the Region and Language parameters. You can type in any language you accept that is added to this list. Click on plus + add language.

Select the one you need from the list provided, or enter its name in the search if you are too lazy to search.

For example, I will choose French, you - the one you need.

It turns out that French has seven varieties, I'll point out French (France).

There is a new available language pack (France).

A Windows notification also appears - adding a number of new functions to Windows, this will not take much time, settings in the parameters.

When you click on an alert, a window for managing additional components opens, in which you can select the one or more you need and install it as desired. French input, text recognition, text conversion and others.

Click on language again next to the date and time, look at the available keyboard layouts and the result. Russian, English and French.

In the same way, you can add any available keyboard layout possible on Windows 10.

Add the desired language using the keyboard layout

The second method is the control panel

We get into the computer settings settings, go to the tab clock, language and region.

Click on language or add a language.

A list of used ones opens, click add language.

It is possible to choose the name of the language or writing system. You can use search to find other languages.

For example, I’ll add the Chinese keyboard layout (traditional writing) and click open.

There are three varieties: Hong Kong SAR, Macau SAR and Taiwan. I put Hong Kong and click add.

Notifications appear in the Action Center when a new keyboard layout is added.

Now we have four keyboard layouts available for use: Russian, English, French and Chinese.

You can change the priority and order of languages, remove or add them for the convenience of working on the computer.

Alternative ways to enter language settings

You can also get to the keyboard layout settings through the Start Menu, Windows Search and the My Computer icon.

It can be easily changed. Click on the desired keyboard layout next to the date and time > go to settings > select the one you need > click use as primary language.
