Does the language of the computer change, or are you just reading a
document in another language?

You do know the difference, right?

yes it only changes the language that i type, not the language that i read
documents. fpr example i type in englsh and the next time i open the window
it turns to greek and i type in greek. i press the Shift+alt button to switch
back to english but this is really annoying.

So this is an Office problem, not a Messenger problem? Or does it
genuinely change the entire system language?


It's probably a much-needed "feature" of MS Windows that you couldn't
live without. Must comply.

It sounds as if the "Language Options" are being changed. This is more
than likely by design.

If all you have to do is press a single combination of keys, then
there's your solution.

Write to Microsoft asking them to change it then.

Or switch one language off.

They're your only options. This seems to be by design.
