Changing languages

Would just like to ask whether the language of Windows Live Messenger can be
changed. I was using the English version when a pop up screen asked me
whether I wanted to update my version and it sent me to a Chinese website and
I downloaded the Chinese version. Now all my text is in Chinese and it is
greatly inconveniencing me!!! Thanks for any help!

Maybe in Intenet Explorer it's set Chinese language. Click Start, Run,
type

inetcpl.cpl

and click OK. Click Language, select English (United States) as primary
language and click OK.

Internet Explorer is already in 'English'. Is it possible that the links
provided are faulty? Where can I find the lastest version of Windows Live
Messenger in English?

Greetings,

All you need to do is install the English version now.

You can do so here:

Utilize the Change language field if it's not going to English by default.
