Myanmar (Burmese) language display and Keyboard Problem

 

Hi,

I am glad once I heard Microsoft windows support our language, Myanmar/ Burmese and now using windows 8.1 64-bit.

However, I found a disappointing message " display language isn't available" even after I added Myanmar (Burmese) language.

Of course, I still have problem with reading and writing when I set the language to Myanmar. I, however, can still browse and read/ write Myanmar in web (e.g facebook) using Zawgyi font.
Nevertheless, I acknowledge that ZawGyi is not the true Unicode and you people are not supporting. I really want to enjoy a true Myanmar Unicode and see our language on search indexes.

At least, the android (4.4.2) I am using on my Samsung Galaxy Note 3 is showing Myanmar font correctly and nicely in either true Unicode or Zawgyi, with which I can both read and write. Microsoft is way behind (as in windows phone) compared to unix/ Linux in some developments
 I am sorry to say that in this community and I really am a Microsoft fan in so many ways, but that is the painful truth.

Hi Dr. Zaw,

Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community. We thank you for your for feedback and appreciate it.

I sure can understand the inconvenience caused to you. I will be glad to assist you with your query.

 

Let me ask you; 

1. How are you trying to install the language pack? From Windows update or from download the pack from Microsoft download center?
2. Have you made any recent changes to the computer prior to this issue?  

Let's try the methods below and check after each method:

 

Try the methods provided in the article and check:

 

Windows 8 language packs are available:

 

Disable the Security Programs and third party software:

 

Step 1: Check in “clean boot mode”, to disable startup programs.

a) Press the ‘Windows + R’key on the keyboard.

b) In the ‘Run’ windows type’MSCONFIG’ and click ‘Ok’.

c) Click the ‘Boot’ tab and uncheck ‘Safe Boot’option.

d) On the ‘General’ tab, click to select the option ‘Selective startup’, and then click to clear the option Load startup items check box.

e) On the ‘Services’ tab, click to select the ‘Hide all Microsoft services’ check box, and then click‘Disable all’.

f) On the ‘Startup’ tab, click ‘Open Task Manager’. In the Task Manager window under startup tab, right click on each startup item which are enabled and select ‘Disable’.

g) Click ‘OK’, and then clickRestart.

 

Note: After you have finished troubleshooting, follow these steps to boot to normal startup.

 

a) Press the ‘Windows + R’key on the keyboard.

b) In the ‘Run’ windows type ’MSCONFIG’ and click ‘Ok’.

c) On the ‘General’ tab, click the‘Normal Startup’ option, and then click ‘OK’.

d) When you are prompted to restart the computer, click‘Restart’.

 

Step 2: Temporarily disable Security Software:

 

Disclaimer for disabling or uninstalling the Antivirus and Firewall: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you shouldn't disable your antivirus software. If you have to temporarily disable it to install other software, you should re-enable it as soon as you're done. If you're connected to the Internet or a network while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks. Turning off Windows Firewall might make your computer (and your network, if you have one) more vulnerable to damage from worms or hackers.

 

Note: Once you performed the steps, make sure you ‘Turn on the Firewall’ and re-enable the antivirus to avoid the risk of virus infection.

Hope this information is helpful. Kindly revert with the status, we'll be glad to assist you further.
