In this window, you will find various options and tools to adjust your computer settings. Now double click on the “Region and Language” icon to open its Settings panel.
Step # 2 – Change Keyboards
Once you have clicked on the “Region and Language” option from the Control Panel Window, a small Settings panel will open in front of your screen. This is the Region and Language settings panel. Now move over to the “Keyboard and Languages” tab from this settings panel and click on the “Change Keyboards” button available in this tab.
Step # 3 – Change the Language
Once you have clicked on the “Change Keyboards” button, you will be redirected to a new window. This is the “Text Services and Input Languages” Settings panel which will help you in changing the keyboard language. In this panel, choose your required language from the drop down list under the “General” tab. Once you have selected your required language, click on the “Apply” button to save these settings and click on the “OK” button to exit from this panel.
Step # 4 – Check and View the new Keyboard Language
Once you have successfully changed the language of your keyboard, it’s time to check and verify the new keyboard language. For this purpose, simply open any advanced text editor on your computer.
