@Ramhound Come on be more sympathetic. Being stuck in an unknown language UI is the most disabling experience ever. E.g. do you know which button to press on this Chinese keyboard to start the language pack install? http://cdn.sett.com/images/user/20131230/kanjikeyboard70b9c7ac638290698ed063dbf307c843.jpg
