Hello community,
I like to change the language of the Windows 7 32 bit embedded operating system on a HP t520 flexible Series Thin Client from german to english.
Unfortunately the normal way for changing the Windows output language does not work (see picture).
If I click on the link for adding aditional languages nothing happens.
I'm not sure if this is a point of Windows 7 embedded or if it is blocked by HP tools.
Is there a way for including/changing the language of this Windows OS to english?
Thanks for all feedbacks

as i pointed out HP may not allow language updates, (most likely due to HD space issues)
buy a later model thin client, that has a english win 7 x64 or win 10 x64 OS as these os's will likely have better support
or buy a MS license for their version

this version HP version of the OS does not permit language changes as i recall
while some WES7 does include a language pack HP does not however you may be able to add it if you can find it as it's no longer available from MS
For details, please refer to the following link
Multilingual User Interface (MUI) Pack 1 for Windows Embedded Standard 7 SP1 & POSReady 7 (32-bit)

Thanks for your answer and teh information.
Unfortunately the windows setting is not available on the hp t520 thin client, see picture in the first post.
The converting the language exe file with exe2cab results in an error that the fiile can not be converted.
As I understand it is not possible to change the language 😞 .
Or is there idea how could it be possible?

Hello,
thanks for your reply agian.
Maybe I missed something in your posted link.
I don`t have the windows setting install/uninstall languages.
Compare the picture in my first post and the picture in the step 5 of the step by step manual.
