VS2005: mixed-language menus and dialogs (german and english)
-
Hello, I am using a german Windows XP operating system, but I usually install the english version of any development environment, since this makes reading and comparing settings in international forums much easier. So far, this has worked perfectly for me, when I installed VisualStudio 2005, everthing was perfect, and the whole user interface was in english language, as expected. Since some days, and probably some operating system updates (I cannot tell exactly since when), I get mixed lagnueage entries in menus and dialogs. For example, the header of all dialogs in VC2005 is english, but the menu entries are German language. The "Edit" menu title is in english (in a german version, this would probably be "Bearbeiten"), but the "copy" entry for example is in german language ("Kopieren"). The same is true for the Project settings dialog, some parts are german, others english language. I have made some screenshots to illustrate this strange behaviour, and emphasized some German and english sections in red rectangles: http://picfront.de/d/8cDn[^] http://picfront.de/d/8cDo[^] Do you have any idea what might have caused this behaviour, and more important: how to fix it? Thanks alot.

My guess would also be that a German update (SP1 or similar) got installed on top of the original VS2005. What you can do is look at Control Panel -> Add Remove Programs, make sure the 'show windows updates' checkbox at the top of the window is selected and see what updates are listed under VS2005. The next step would be to try to remove some of them :) Good luck!
