10.22. Regional and Language Options

Windows XP is by far the most internationally oriented version of Windows to date. It can accommodate any conceivable arrangement of date, currency, and number formats; comes with fonts for dozens of Asian languages; lets you remap your keyboard to type non-English symbols of every ilk; and so on.

• The Regional Options Tab lets you change date and number formats (in some countries , 7/4 means April 7, not July 4).

• The Languages Tab is useful only if you want to use your English keyboard to type in another language (with different symbols, accents, and so on).
