shinokada Posted November 1, 2012 Report Share Posted November 1, 2012 I have bought my laptop in Norway. It has Windows 7. I live in Japan and want to run a Japanese accounting program. I tried to install it but I could not. I require a Japanese Windows.Do I have to purchase another Windows? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irene Posted November 1, 2012 Report Share Posted November 1, 2012 Hello shinokada, welcome to Windows Forum. :)One of our members lives in Japan, so I am sure he will be able to provide an accurate reply when he looks in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gandalph Posted November 1, 2012 Report Share Posted November 1, 2012 Hello shinokada, welcome to Windows Forum.I would have thought that you would have been given the option to select the Japanese language when you were installing Windows. I'm sure it is one of the language options available during the install process, but I could be wrong. Try re-installing Windows again and see if you are given the language option. HTH.

ɹəuəllıʍ ʇɐb Posted November 2, 2012 Report Share Posted November 2, 2012 Shinokada san,What is your Windows 7 edition? If Ultimate or Enterprise, you can change the language to Japanese.If it is a different edition, then changing the Regional Settings to Japan *may* satisfy your accounting program.However, the accounting program at my friend's shop requires genuine Japanese Windows; no setting on a non-Japanese Windows would allow it to install.What is the name of your accounting program?

ɹəuəllıʍ ʇɐb Posted November 2, 2012 Report Share Posted November 2, 2012 P.S. the accounting program my friend uses is called 'Yayoi', and it requires Japanese Windows. But if you can change the language in Windows 7 Ultimate or Enterprise, then it will act like Japanese Windows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shinokada Posted November 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2012 Hi guys,Thank you for your replies. I appreciate it. I have an Enterprise edition. And my accounting software is called Minnano Aoiroshinnkoku from Sorimachi. I am not sure how to change the language in Windows 7. I appreciate if you can tell me how to do it. Thanks in advance.
