    Hey guys,

    I'm trying to finish a paper, and I guess I went a little crazed and pressed some buttons too fast, and now everything I type is in Chinese (only on Word, Wordpad and other programs work fine). How do I change this back?

    Thanks!!

    Remove Chinese from your additional language as well to prevent it from happening in the future.

    I took it off as I somehow it a key combo to turn it on while in bad company 2 game and you cant turn it off and it prevents you from playing the game.... so annoying.
