Anyone used Vistalizator?

[TenBlade]

My W7 HP is hopelessly locked in my native language/pastry, Danish. This Vistalizator, http://www.froggie.sk/index.html ,  is a free-bee that´s supposed to crunch whatever language you want into your OS. Now, my interest would be the ability to use speech recognition for Cockpit Chatter or Multi Crewe Experience, and I can´t since my edition of the OS won´t do English speech recognition. And honestly, having all the features in W7 named in English is much easier for me when I have a tech issue, or try to help others resolve one.

K, anyone has any experience with this program? They do issue subtle warnings that you should back up your registry, of course, that´s in one of the two ways of installing it.

I had it for the use of VoxATC and can't say anything bad about it. It enables the possibility to switch the screen and voice recognition languages on all Windows versions, not just on Ultimate or so.

They even recommend it for the FS2Crew voice using titles. The usage is pretty straightforward.

Cool, thx. Perhaps you could write me a short "Vistalizator for dummies"? I seem to get a bit lost in all the downloads, and I´m not certain which installation method I should use.

That was some time ago and I only used it once (which is normal, because it did all changes and everything went flawless thereafter) so don't expect exact values.  \

I came across this software because it was mentioned in the FS2Crew voice manuals.

If you own a non-English Vista or Win 7 Ultimate, you’ll need to download the English language

pack from Microsoft.

If you do not own Ultimate, you can try switching your Windows display language to English

using a 3rd party program called Vistalizator:

You need the program itself (see the above link) and the language pack from Microsoft (which is a free download) to match your operating system and the language you want to enable.

You then run the tool, click "Add languages" and point it to the downloaded language pack. After this it takes a while to compute all changes and thereafter you need to reboot.

The only tricky part was to find the right language file as they offer some of them. For example, all Win7x64 ones are here http://www.froggie.sk/7lp64rtm.html. If you use another OS, see the list here http://www.froggie.sk/download.html and look up yours.

So, you used the MUI and not the LIP pack, right?!

Yes, the MUI, filename "windows6.1-kb972813-x64-en-us_483a3e51038f1a369bc5b5cdf5fc32df3ea4ad27" from here http://www.froggie.sk/7lp64rtm.html on Win7x64.

Darn Bjorn your English is so good did you learn both languages at the same time as I noticed you said native language and not first ?

Ha ha, thanks, Lt. I´m half English. Though I never saw England in my childhood, I kind of picked up on the language quite easily when growing up. Guess some good CAN come out of watchin too much TV (we subtitle everything here). And to complicate matters further, my dad moved to Germany and taught me German, so I could understand the kids there, when I was visiting.

I plan to teach my son English at an early age of course 

I´ll have a picture up a.s.a.p.
