I have an issue with MS Office 2016 where it will sometimes change the language that is entered into a document from English to Greek to French and I cannot get it to go back to English. I originally had this issue with MS Office 2010...and I found out that a Keyboard shortcut can be used to alternate the language that is entered into a document. Unfortunately...I do not remember that shortcut and have tried some of the more unusual combinations as I seem to remember it wasn't a commonly-used shortcut.
As of this moment...the most reliable way to reset the language is to close the document and reopen it. I have tried some Google and SO searches...but all I have seen is about changing programming languages, not the textual language that is entered into a document.
Thank you.
In case you're on Windows your issue could be that you unintentionally switch keyboard layout by pressing
ALT + Shift
keyboard shortcut. This will also switch the language in Microsoft Word (tested in Microsoft Word 2010).
As stated this is not actually a feature of Microsoft Word but more of Windows.

I've downloaded VSCode in German and I've set the display language to English as described here. However, the hints for Intellisense are still in German, which is not great for debugging and understanding suggestions/mistakes, since the breadth of information online on programming related issues is in English. I found this SO question that discusses how to do it in VS, but that is over 10 years old and I don't even have the "Tools" tab in VSCode.
How to set UI language in English and IntelliSense hint Language in another language in Visual Studio 2012 ?
I also tried to search for a setting by pressing "Ctrl+," using different keywords, but all I got was highlighting toggles for Intellisense that control highlighting for different code fragments. Using "Ctrl+Shift+P" and searching for "Intellisense" etc. didn't help either.
I really do not want to deinstall VSCode and reinstall it using an English installer just so I can fix this problem, especially since I'm only using VSCode to program C++ for Unreal Engine to begin with and whenever you change something slightly Unreal likes to break things in a fit of capriciousness.
Is there a straightforward way to fix this? Here's an image of what the Intellisense hints look like. I'd love it if they were in English.
To change the language of the Itellisense you should go to the Visual Studio Installer, modify the current installation, then go to "Language Packs" section of the installer and select English. After installing the language pack go inside the IDE: Tools -> Options -> Environment -> International Settings , select English and save changes.

Ok, so I wasn't able to set any options for this and the only thing that worked was going to a download page of an English installer and running that. I essentially updated my 1.7.3 version of VSCode to a 1.7.4 version using an English installer instead of a German one and that fixed the issue...
Is this stupid or am I stupid?
My entire VS Code is in English, but sometimes some of the fixes under "Show fixes" appear in Polish. I would like to switch to English entirely. How can I do that?
I have already switched my language under "Configure Display Language" to en. I've also tried downloading an English extension but it failed too. Is there an option that I missed that sets the language of (some) of the fixes to my default OS system?
One in English, one in Polish
I am doing a lot of copying from Visio to Word 2007. I have found that Windows Metafile is the most space efficient choice of the Paste Special options available. How can I make "Windows Metafile" my default paste special option in Word?
I was also looking for this but MicroSoft knows that nobody needs this and so it seems not to be possible. If you dare to disagree with the wisdom of Microsoft, you have the option of a workaround - like I did ...
Create a macro (obviously you find the macros in the View and not the Developer ribbon ...):
Sub PasteSpecialMetafile()
Selection.PasteSpecial Link:=False, DataType:=wdPasteEnhancedMetafile, _
Placement:=wdInLine, DisplayAsIcon:=False
End Sub
And then assign a special shortcut (simply and intuitively via File -> Options -> Customize Ribbon -> Keyboard Shortcuts: Customize) to the macros.
There might be a command which directly opens the PasteSpecial dialog ... but this is well hidden.
The macro works only, if the clipboard content can be converted to a metafile (and you get an error when the clipboard contains text). So there is room for improvement :)
Just FYI, default shortcut for the PasteSpecial is Ctrl+Alt+V. Full list of MS Word shortcuts is available in the Word Help, here is the direct link for convenience.
Thank you for your answers. They were very useful.
It worked in Word 2003 as well :).
I found another way. After you do all the clicks to do the paste special\picture(metafile) and paste your first picture, copy the next one (from excel or any other place) then go to Word and press Ctrl+Y to repeat the previous command.
Don't do anything else after you do the paste special in Word, the final action needs to be the paste special\picture.
I can't get word navigation on camelcase, underscore or periods in either Aptana or Titanium studios. Neither in PHP or Javascript. I do get it on hyphens though.
The only smart caret option I see in preferences is "Smart caret positioning at line start and end" in General->Editors->Text Editors. This have no effect on these.
Is there no way to enable better word navigation?
Btw, I'm using Mac. In case there are differences between Mac vs Pc Eclipse.
Thanks for any help.
I've been using Linux (Ubuntu) Aptana and it has the nice word navigation you described, then started using Max OS X for work and it does seem like the Mac version of Aptana and it seems to lack the same functionality (it only jumps over words separated by whitespace and not underscore or camelcase).
I know this is not an answer, but I can't post it as a comment since I don't have enough rep (wtf?).
Did a bit of searching (thanks to finding the right words to use from your question) and found this bug report on the issue, the solution (described in the final comment) is:
Go to System Preferences (OSX's not Eclipse/Aptana's) > Language & Text > Text
set the "Word Break" dropdown to "English, United States (Computer)"
restart Eclipse/Aptana
Thanks for helping me find that - this has been bugging me for months. This may not fix for camelcase but definitely fixed it for periods for me on OSX 10.7 Aptana 3.4
My father has found a Russian language keyboard mapping that he really likes here. However, it is non-standard and therefore is not one that appears in the Languages (Control Panel->Regional and Language Options->Languages->Details->Text Services And Input Languages->Add) dropdown for keyboard layout selection. To my understanding, it should be a simple task to create a new mapping - perhaps editing an XML file and a reboot. Does anyone know how to do this?
Barring that, how would I go about writing a program to emulate this? It seems like it would have to run in the system tray (I can figure that out), have a hook intercepting incoming keyboard input (no idea how to do this), convert it off a configuration file, and send it to whatever application and text window has current focus (again, no idea). With any luck this should not be too hard.
Any advice?
There's this utility from Microsoft
The Microsoft Keyboard Layout Creator
(MSKLC) extends the international
functionality of Windows 2000, Windows
XP, Windows Server 2003,and Windows
Vistas systems by allowing users to:
Create new keyboard layouts from scratch
Base a new layout on an existing one
Modify an existing keyboard layout and build a new layout from it
Multilingual input locales within edit control fields.
Build keyboard layout DLLs for x86, x64, and IA64 platforms.
Package the resulting keyboard layouts for subsequent delivery and installation.
Try AutoHotKey (http://www.autohotkey.com/) i use it to get emacs keybindings in normal text editors, i'm sure it could tackle this too.
edit: the bit you're looking for is in the quickstart here: http://www.autohotkey.com/docs/Tutorial.htm#Send
