I'm pretty sure that last time I checked, the official langauge of America is ENGLISH...not Chinese, Japanese, or Korean. So many times I've turned my school computer and began typing, just to find that I'm typing some foreign dialect, complete with random lines and squiggles.
Last year this wasn't a problem even relatively heard of, as it didn't exist.
But clearly, it's enough of a problem for me to complain about it, especially since IT'S THE SECOND TO LAST MONTH OF SCHOOL.
When we first encountered the problem on our first computer lab day way back in August, we were told that whoever set up the system had accidentally changed the default language; I shrugged it off, thinking it would be a simple, easy fix. One week passed, language bar still in Asian.
Two weeks later, still sketching out squiggles.
One month later STILL having no idea what I'm typing...
SIX MONTHS later, still nothing has been done to resolve the issue.
Even as I look now, I can see another student having to go through the hassle of reverting the default language to English. The process in order to successfully change the language to English involves right clicking the small language button in the bottom right corner of the task bar, clicking settings, then changing the default language to English, then hitting apply, and finally, closing the window. Of course, this only works some of the times, being almost as reliable as the economy. Of course, this means just about nothing.
If one chooses not to undergo this process and simply skips to just clicking the little language button and changing it to English, they'll probably find it about as effective as trying to play guitar with a drumstick (a chicken one, mind you). After this process, clicking on ANYTHING else will revert the language to whatever default oriental language happens to be default on your computer.
You'd think this would be a simple problem to fix, right? It might as well be, but apparently none of our media technichians know how to fix it, or they simply just don't know about it. Obviously, they'll probably know how to fix it themselves, but WHY haven't they? I really have no idea. From my guess, it probably still won't be fixed by next year, but who cares.
Oh yeah.
EVERYBODY IN THE SCHOOL MAYBE?
