How to change WINRAR language

WHAT IS WINRAR???

A Little background info

WINRAR is a powerful file archiver utility - developed by Eugene Roshal of

WINRAR Gmbh - with which you can compress, encrypt, backup and

package files in archives -RAR or ZIP file formats - and also unpack

numerous archive file formats.

It was first released in 1995 - on the 22nd of March to be exact - and

written in C++, It supports these archive formats - RAR, ZIP, CAB, ARJ,

LZH, ACE, TAR, GZip, UUE, ISO, BZIP2, Z and 7-Zip – only to name a

few and it isn’t only available for windows, but Linux and Mac OS as well.

winrar formats

 I’ve seen a lot of people have issues with WINRAR such as installing and getting a 

foreign language - a result of not downloading the WINRAR installer from 

rarlab.com/download.html - and as such don't know how to go about changing the 

language in WINRAR to English/their default language.

steps to change WINRAR language

In this tutorial, I'm going to give a walk-through on how to go about it. After installing 

WINRAR and getting some other language apart from English/your preffered 

language close the application - if it was open - and follow the instructions below.

NB: This tutorial is for windows users.

STEP1: DOUBLE CLICK YOUR DRIVE C: AND LOCATE PROGRAM FILES 

(NOT PROGRAM FILES (x86))

STEP2: IN PROGRAM FILES LOCATE WINRAR FOLDER AND 

DOUBLE-CLICK TO OPEN

STEP3: SEARCH FOR winrar.lng AND DELETE IT 

Now you’re done. Launch winrar and enjoy the English version/your preferred 

language.

If it worked for you let us know and if you’re still facing challenges still let us know -

ERROR 0xc000005

If i may ask...

Have you ever tried to launch an application on your PC only to encounter

 "the application couldn't start" together with an error code "0xc000005"on your 

windows PC? 

I’ve seen this happen to some people and ofcourse I was also a victim.

One morning, i launched mozilla firefox to surf the net, only to encounter the error ,

oh snap!"-that was me, after which i picked up my smartphone and scoured the 

internet for sometime (about 30mins or so), looking for a solution to no avail. What 

did you do, you ask? I just UN-installed the program - mozilla firefox - severally and re-

installed, hoping it would fix the problem but unfortunately it didn't.

HOW I FIXED IT...

I had been using M.S.E. - microsoft security essentials - for sometime

before formatting my PC, and for some reason i didn't re-install it - the last time - 

after formatting. I decided it was time to re-install M.S.E. after which i updated the 

virus definitions and did a full scan on my PC.

Just like i thought, i had a virus infestation, cos i noticed my PC was acting strange. 

I was surprised when the Firefox browser refused to launch after using it the previous 

night.

After the scan was done and the viruses removed, i re-installed my Firefox browser, 

and launched it... No more error code "0xc000005" till date.

Microsoft security essentials is available for download at the microsoft website.

If you don't know the direct link, you can google it and make sure to download the 

one specific for your PC, whether 32bits or 64bits. If you still don't know how many 

bits your windows OS is, you can check it up in Control panel under the system and 

security section.
