The customer support at MS US told me that at least US version cant change language to any other than english, but perhaps the german version that probably is in german can be changed to english instead? Germany is a very multicultural place after all nowadays.
The MS US rep told me that the US Surface only has english and it can't be changed.
This is even odder since one of the first screens I saw on my Surface, while still in the Microsoft Store to set it up, was to select the language, which you can choose from English, French, Spanish, etc.
Keyboard layout is changeable to just about anything out there, so you can use italian layout. Given, the keyboard will for example say ?, but would produce ? or something.
Excuse me, Product in stock and 3 weeks delivery? I received a Phone from china in 1 week.....:straight:Today or yesterday the german availability has "returned to normal". Seems that they have stock again, as none of the Surfaces no longer say about the 3 week to deliver. Might get mine within a week with some luck!
EDIT: The Surface without touch cover seems to be out of stock.
Ahhhhhhh oooooooook...... And so do you know the normal delivery ?thanks in advanceNo, the 3 weeks was when it was out of stock.
I hope in the possibility to select via software the keyboard language.... For ex. I i Will press ? i need to have ?.... We Will see....
And UK keyboard doesnt have ? or ?.. And at least MSUK store says that they dont ship outside UK.
Well, God damnit.. So now I cant get one from Germany either.
I have zero use for a productivity tool that cant handle my own language. ? and ? are far too common to be ignored. I believe you can change the keyboard layout software side, but then you'll be hitting keys that actually put out different letters
Well, I guess no Surface for me until they land to Finland, which is probably sometime next year...
As said, I would suffice with english software just fine, it's the needed keys (mainly ? and ?) I'm after. Then again, I'm also sufficient enough on typing without looking at the keys, so its not like the key actually has to say ? for me to find it
But I guess if I'm still gonna be hitting keys that put out different letters, I might as well take the german keyboard and have Y and Z switched. ? and ? are in the same places in finnish keyboards and both are more common in finnish than Z or Y. But at least the UK one would sure be in english.. then again MS UK still claims they dont ship outside UK.
