In the bottom right corner, there should appear a small EN box, which means your language, English. If it is not there, open a writing software (Microsoft Word, for instance) and it will appear. Click on it and you'll see that it will show this:
EN English (Country)*
Show the language bar
*It should show the the English speaking country you bought the computer. Mine says United Kingdom, for instance.
Now, you click on the "Show the language bar" and a thin bar should appear somewhere on the top of the screen where it writes the language you are typing ("EN English (Country)", a help button, a minimize button and an options button. What you need is the options button, and that's why you're going to click it.
Once you click it, it will show you at least four options. Click the settings option.It shall open you the "Text Services and Input languages" window. This is were you select the language you want.
Click on the "Add..." button and it will open you a window with all the languages your computer has in its database. Greek should be somewhere there. Expand it and it will give you several Greek writing systems to choose from. Most of them aren't truly Greek. What should interest you are only two options: The first "Greek" box and/or the "Greek Polytonic" box.
If you are from Greece, you know their differences. If you're not, and you're wondering "What the heck?", the Greek option is a simplified Greek, which is also the standard Greek used in Greece. The Greek Polytonic is basically the same, only that it has more accents. It's the writing system used 30-40 years ago as standard and it is still used for writing the Ancient Greek language. Nevertheless, the choice is yours. Even if you don't like one of them, you can always change it, remove it etc.
Now click on your desired language and hit the okay button. Now Greek is listed right after English. Hit okay and you're done.
Now, to change between languages, you can either simply hit Shift+Alt, or you can just click on the EN little button -assuming that you have minimized the language bar by now- and click on the desired language.|||Hi.
