I can change my keyboard and make certain things change into Polish but I can't completely change the language of my operating system. Is there any possible way of changing my windows language into Polish? PLEASE HELP ME.. THANKS

Control system allows you to change some features of the machines, such as the keyboard layout. Nothing more.
To have it running in a given language, you have to buy the operating system in that language. When you buy windows, it comes in the language of your choice, no other. (You can't have an OS in both English and Polish).

Believe me Polish people are not idiots and it is really easy for them to read their own language words without Polish letters. If you think they can't do it, they can treat you as an ignorant. Polish culture is not the culture of "sweet talkers" like English for example. We know MUCH more about you than you know about us. If you don't know how to use Polish letters just don't do it. Polish people living abroad sometimes don't use Polish signs (especialy when they use internet communicators) because they use English in their computers in their daily life. It is nothing wrong because it is informal language. If they write something formal in Polish they use proper Polish. Generally speaking, Polish is a phonetical language what means that we write as we read. One letter or one digraph means always one sound. That is why there is no such problems like "How to spell it ?" in Polish. Example: a letter "A" is ALWAYS read in Polish the same as the sound "A" in the latin word "Anno Domini". Phonetically Polish is much closer to Latin than English. The question should be rather "Why English spelling evolwed so far from original Latin way of spelling, if English speakers use Latin alphabet?" We don't use letters like: Q, X and V. Useing of double letters is also very rare in Polish because it is illogical for us to use one by one letters that sound the same. If we use double letters you can ALWAYS hear both, the same sounds in the word. What is the sens of usening two identical letters one by one if you can't hear it in reading? Our language has also some original letters like; ą, ę, ó, ć, ń, ś, ź, ż, ł, and some digraphs: rz, ch, sz, dz, dź, dż. The way how to spell it, is usualy quite logical and is connected with basic letters. Example the letter "ł" (read like "w" in the word "wood") is a derivative from the letter "l" so it sounds similiar. Isn't it logical? Somtimes one sound can be written with the help of two diffterent letters like "ó" and "u" or "ż" and "rz". These letters sounds EXACTLY the same but you can't use it alternately because it is a BIG, popular mistake, straight from primary school.
