If you’re a Windows 11 user, you’ll know just how many customizations the operating system provides to match the user. Even multilingual computer users have the ability to personalize their Windows typing setup, simply by changing the keyboard language. If this sounds like a feature you’d take advantage of, you’ll be glad to know that it’s incredibly easy to set this up, both for Windows 10 and Windows 11.
Of course, we’re not just going to throw you to the wolves. Changing your keyboard language in Windows is a quick step-by-step process, and we’ve put together all the instructions you’ll need to get the job done.
Step 1: Open Settings and navigate to Time & language.
Step 2: Download the language pack that you require by clicking on Add a language under Preferred languages. This language pack can also be used as the display language, for text-to-speech and speech recognition, and handwriting. Type a language name in the search bar to pull up your chosen language quickly.
When you've selected your language, click Next.
Step 3: In the next box, select the optional language features that you want to include. Basic typing and optical character recognition are required, but the full language pack, text-to-speech, and handwriting are optional. You can also choose to change your Windows display language to the new one – just make sure you can read it in order to change it back to English if necessary.
Click Install when ready. The download and installation may take a few minutes to complete.
Step 4: Choose your language from the system tray. You'll find a small icon in the lower-right corner that will let you switch back and forth between languages. Just click on the language you want to use. You can also use the Windows + Spacebar key combination to quickly switch between languages.
You can change languages in specific applications as well. For example, Google Chrome lets you switch languages easily enough. Follow our keyboard layout guide to learn how to use your keyboard most efficiently.
Note that if you change your keyboard layout, your Windows 11 keyboard shortcuts will change.
Apple is less than a day away from launching its highly anticipated OLED MacBook Pro with a touch-sensitive screen. But it appears that the upgrade is going to cost a pretty penny. According to a report by Bloomberg, Apple is reportedly eyeing a starting price of $2,899 for the 14-inch MacBook Pro, while the 16-inch version could start at $3,399 in the US.
"At $2,899, the 14-inch model would mark the highest starting price for a new MacBook Pro model, surpassing the $2,799 Apple charged for a 17-inch version introduced in 2006," says the report. The report claims that Apple is targeting a minimum price hike of $400 for its upcoming redesigned 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models.
I've spent a good amount of time digging into the spec sheet of the new M6 MacBook Pro (14-inch), and for all intents and purposes, this is a classic Apple "chip and connectivity" refresh. It's not a full redesign. The chassis, Liquid Retina XDR panel, speakers, ports, and battery, all of them carry over unchanged.
However, the M6 brings more cores, stronger on-device AI, higher memory bandwidth on the larger configs, and modern wireless. Here’s the practical rundown of what actually improved, and whether those gains are worth your money.
Two new highly requested iCloud plugins just got added to ChatGPT, giving people who rely on Apple’s Mail and Calendar services a way to search emails, check appointments, and manage their schedules directly through the chatbot.
