Hi,

I have an uncle in Brasil who I try to help with some basic XP issues.
I run an english version of XP and he has a portuguese version of
windows.
My efforts to help him are hampered by the fact that I have no idea
what things are called in his version of windows. Even sending
screenshots doesn't always help since some things are not in the same
order.

Does anyone have a list of common terms in english and portguese? Like
- file
- save
- ok
- cancel
etc. etc. etc.

If anyone knows of any other materials that might help me I'd
apprieciate it.

Thanks!

Jeroen

Take care using my idea. It changed my default English
setting to Brazil. It took 5 / 10 minutes to figure how to get it
to revert back.

The last time I had that happen I had to kill the cookie. <g> No amount of
changing it back to English had any effect and my Spanish is bad enough so
my Brazilian is even worse.

Not surprising you had difficulties. It's Portuguese in Brazil
not Spanish <g>.

Oh it's okay - I don't know Spanish either. Well limited. I studied Latin
way back in high school for a couple of years. It doesn't help me speak the
languages really but it does help me read the languages that stem from it
such as the above languages. It was, shall we say, an annoying five or ten
minutes or so when I'd finally figured out that it'd been changed. Ah
well...
