I have installed a german version of MS Office Professional. How can I get away from the german translation of all GUI elements.
I like to see the english names of the properties, like I have to use in VBA and find them in the Dokumentation.
Edit:
My Solution: I downloaded
SW_DVD5_Office_Professional_Plus_2016_W32_English_MLF_X20-41353.ISO
SW_DVD9_Office_Multi_Lang_Pack_2016_W32_MultiLang_Disk_1_MLF_X20-42853.ISO
from Microsofts Software Portal (https://www.microsoft.com/Licensing/servicecenter/Downloads/DownloadsAndKeys.aspx).
I first install the eng-Version of Office and than the german language pack. I now can switch between two languages like I want.
There is no way other than install a US version of Access/Office on another (virtual) machine.
That's what I've done.

I am trying to help a niece to make a thesis on programming a software that will be able to store and retrieve scanned pictures using a GUI where we can input some parameters like name, unique id number, address and the like. Also, it should enable us to fill in some forms and then later on, we can print it. I have a little background in programming as I have tried VB6 a decade ago and never again ever since. I know that all these are possible with VB6 but it is obsolete now and I know that there are a lot of programming softwares out there that are more powerful and up to date. Can someone give me an advice on where to start and what programming language I can use now?
Since you are familiar with the VB6 syntax, I would think VB.NET would be a good choice for you. As a .NET language, it is fully featured and powerful. You can get Visual Studio Express Edition, or now Visual Studio Community Edition, for free. Check them out at https://www.visualstudio.com/vs/visual-studio-express/ and https://www.visualstudio.com/vs/community/
I'm trying to implement a STT(SpeechToText) app in VS2012 Express that should recognize Portuguese phrases and show it in a TextBlock. I've already tried to change Speech Settings on the Emulator to Portuguese, but when I run the program, it says that "the language is not supported". Could anyone help me?
Not all even installed languages support dictation recognition.
You can get supported languages list like follow:
IReadOnlyCollection<SpeechRecognizerInformation> speechRecognizers = InstalledSpeechRecognizers.All;
If I'm not mistaken only pt-BR is supported. So you may need change region to Brazil to make it work in Portuguese.
I would like to convert an HTML file or a Word file (.doc, .docx or .rtf) to a .chm file. I searched for ways of doing this and they all said that I should install a program on my computer. Is there a way of doing this without installing anything (online, with a program initially installed on Windows or with a USB version of a program)? I also accept a CHM editor as long as it doesn't need to be installed. I found a way to open a .html with hh.exe (the program that opens .chm) but as soon as I rename it from help.html to help.chm it doesn't work.
As far as I know the answer is – no. I've seen never an online version or a USB solution for effective HTMLHelp (CHM) compiling.
You can’t rename a foobar.html to foobar.chm and get this working for a single file, because CHM is like a zipped webpage with all files needed inside and some more internal files e.g. for full text search or an index with keywords. Please see snapshot of a special view with FAR HTML below (left side only, navigation pane).
You can't rename from .zip to .chm too, because the internal structure of a CHM file is complicated and you need a compiler for generating CHM's.
Background:
Please note that the proprietary file format is normally generated by MS HH Workshop (hhw.exe). It’s nearly 20 years old und was first shipped with IE4 and Windows 95. It’s deep integrated to the Windows operating system.
The HTML Help compiler is part of MS HTML Help Workshop (HHW.exe). This is a free, very basic authoring system provided by Microsoft and must be installed before any other authoring tool (e.g. such as FAR HTML) can compile to a .chm help file.
HTML Help Workshop (HHW) installer is called HtmlHelp.EXE and contains a copy of the HTML Help Run-time installer (HHUpd.EXE). There are a few Independent Software Vendor (ISV) that install HHA.DLL and itcc.dll separately instead of installing the full MS HH Workshop (htmlhelp.exe). This is generally an OK practice if the ISV knows what they are doing. But there are many problems. ISVs please keep in mind the safest approach is probably to install the full Workshop.
HTML Help is in maintenance mode, which means no new features are expected for either the runtime or the compiler. All mainstream development on HH has stopped – but HTMLHelp (.chm help files) is still recommended as software application help (for offline (local) help).
At the time of writing (announced 1996-Feb) HTMLHelp is the only Microsoft help platform available for general application help. WinHelp is deprecated and no longer ships with the Windows OS. Visual Studio products such as MS Help 2 & Help Viewer only ship with VS.
Here's word2chm.
It converts word docs to chm help files.
https://sourceforge.net/projects/word2chm/
You will need Microsoft's HTML Help Workshop installed for this to work.
Another more robust program is:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/nuhelp/
Requirements of nuhelp:
1) Word 2003, 2007, 2010 or 2013.
2) HTML Help Workshop (included in zip file)
3) .Net 3.5 Client Profile (already on most computers)
I installed the english version of Visual Studio 2013. The GUI is in English but compiler errors are in French. That's a nightmare when I want to Google an error...
How can I switch C# compiler output language to English ?
You'd have to switch your machine's system locale to English, Control Panel + Language.
That's a rather impactful change since it also changes the locale for every other program on your machine. One thing you can try (but I cannot verify) is to whack the localization file that the C# compiler uses for strings. On your machine it should be located in c:\windows\microsoft.net\framework\v4.0.30319\1036\cscui.dll. Rename the file so the C# compiler can't find it and is forced to fallback to, hopefully, English. Btw, I guessed at 1036, there are lots of French locales. Locale IDs are listed here.
I have solved this as well. Switching language in the IDE did not worked for me, because if the MS compiler was invoked from another program (Qt Creator in my case), the language output was still in the locale language.
Solution: Remove the language you don't want from Visual Studio using the installation tool and leave only English. It's clean, you don't have to mess with the internal files and you even save some disk space.
Just solve same problem with Deutsch:)
Do this: inside of Visual Studio:
Tools-->Options-->Environment-->International Settings. There you need to download an additional language(i.e. English) and install it.
i would like to produce a online windows 2003 emulator
so anyone can use windows 2003 through a browser instead of
installing the software - something similar to temulator www.temulator.com/- and zen internet emulator va.zensupport.co.uk - i have basic html & css skills
can it be done using html/css or is it better to use java/flash etc ,i am thinking of just using screenshots and then linking them together , but its very time conusming to do. what is the best programming language and BEST approach??
thank you
Neil
Which aspect of Windows do you want to simulate. Do you want to create an on-line "desktop" that looks like Windows 2003? In that case, check out whether you can customize one of the already existing Web Desktop projects like eyeOS. See the Wikipedia article on Web desktops for a list of projects.
It's going to take way more than basic HTML skills to work on a On-line desktop, so you really want to look at existing solutions unless you want to learn advanced Javascript, CSS and server-side programming from scratch.
To actually run Windows 2003 applications through an on-line interface is possible using the Remote Desktop Protocol and an appropriately configured Windows server (See the Link in Carlos's answer for a way to start a RDP session from a web browser window). However, this can't be done for free and is not unrestricted - you need to purchase the Windows OS, and user licenses for people to log on to the system.
Opening such a Terminal Server to the public is, as far as I know, forbidden my Windows 2003's license terms, extremely dangerous because of the risk of people infecting your system, and overall not worth pursuing IMO. You could do something like this with Linux because there are no license terms, but it's not a trivial matter and it's not going to run most Windows 2003 software.
You could use this:
Embedding the Remote Desktop ActiveX Control in a Web Page
For a Win2003-like GUI online: XP is close enough to Win2003.
Actual OS online: Convert VirtualBox to Java.
