In my article, I want to not only give a detailed answer to your question, but also elaborate on the application itself.

Part 1. Skype: the benefits and reasons for popularity

In the modern world, the way of communication using the Skype application is becoming more and more popular. Ask why? It seems to me that the answer is quite obvious, because it is this system of information transfer that unites not only all the possibilities of a mobile phone, but also the latest innovations of the Internet.

With the help of Skype you can:

Part 2. How to change the language in Skype

Just want to admit that this question I hear quite often. It is most often asked as beginners and absolute "teapots", as well as professionals of some other field of computer science who only recently faced with the need to use, and therefore study this, without exaggeration, the miracle connection of the 21st century.

Before answering the question how to change the language in Skype, I would like to clarify from the people asking this: "What exactly does not suit you? Do you have an English version of the application and are you uncomfortable using it? Or do you need to change the language in such a way that you can write text messages exactly, which is familiar to us in Cyrillic, rather than the default Latin script? "

1. How to change the language in Skype so that the typed text messages are entered exactly by Russian, and not by English characters? Let's go deeper into history. The company Skype was once founded by Swede Niklas Zennström and the Dane Janus Friis, but the authors of the software itself were three talented Estonian programmers - Ahti Heinl, Priit Kasesalu and Jaan Tallinn. Working, they focused on the international market, so it seems to me that there is nothing surprising in that the default Skype language is English, as one of the most popular languages on the planet. If so, when you type a text message, you see a Latin letter, proceed as usual to change the language: use the alt + shift keys. Pressing them one at a time, pay attention to the lower right corner of the screen - it will indicate which language is installed. By the way, do not forget that on some computers in order to change the language in Skype, you need to use alt + shift located on the left side of the keyboard, on the other - in the right.
2. If this is the case, and you downloaded the application not in your own language, or if the language change occurred automatically after the program has been updated - it's not an excuse to get upset. In order to correct the situation, you will need no more than 2-3 minutes. First open the Skype window, then at the top, find the Tools menu. In the opened tab there is an item "Change Language" (Change Language), choose the language you need and confirm your choice. That's all!

I answered your question how to change the language in Skype and you could see for yourself that it is quite simple. Now your application has become even more convenient.

Have a nice chat!
