    Switching Japanese Windows with English menus

    Yes, I do mean those keys. I tried just switching to Japanese keyboard, as you suggested, but those keys didn't work. Also, the selection key is normally the spacebar in Japan but I could only get IME to work with the Tab key (for those who aren't familiar with Japanese typing: you type in Roman characters, then press a selection key and it steps you through a list of options for the word you are typing in Japanese characters). Did you get the special keys to work as they do in native Japanese mode?

    It may well be that I was missing something, although I did try every option I could think of. In any event, as I said, I gave in and now have Japanese Windows running with English menus and everything seems to be working perfectly.
    Thanks,

    Mike

    Switching Japanese Windows with English menus

    I have just reinstalled my PC with Japanese Windows (it's the only way to enable the full use of a Japanese keyboard - special keys etc.). However, I want my system language to be English (menus etc.). So far I have tried the following:

    Settings:
    Installed English language pack
    Made English default language

    Power menu (not sure of proper name - win_key-x):
    Tried to switch language to English but does not appear in the menu.

    Suggestions greatly appreciated!

    Thanks,

    Mike

    [Wndows10][desktop][Fonts]want to change the font to view Japanese folder name/file name on English edition

    Hi,

    I'm using Windows 10 English edition.

    I want someone to help to resolve font trouble on Desktop/Explorer.

    When I open explorer folders/files are on. the folders/files name has DoubleByte(or MultiByte). now explorer uses Chinese Font Shape for this name. but I want to see Japanese Font Shape.

    I don't want to change system fonts because all charactors shape will be changed.

    Current

    English (Alphabetic,Num) -> Segoe UI

    Japanese (DBCS/MultiByte) -> Segoe UI

    Requirement

    English (Alphabetic,Num) -> Segoe UI

    Japanese (DoubleByte/MultiByte) -> Meiryo or some Japanese font

    not solution

    English (Alphabetic,Num) -> Meiryo or some Japanese font

    Japanese (DoubleByte/MultiByte) -> Meiryo or some Japanese font

    Yours sincerely,

    Tac.
