| Best way to move from French OS 9 to English? |
Posted by: desertrout on 2020-06-01 11:17:36
I have a G3 iMac with French OS 9.0.4 that I'd like to replace with English - what would be the best way to do that? I don't think I can merely perform an update to 9.1 in English... can I???

If you boot with an English OS 9 CD, you can install over the French version.

Thanks, I'll give it a shot - will that process retain applications and files?

You may have issues with encoding if you use French language applications on English language system.

I decided to simply bail on any specifically French apps, so that's not going to be an issue - I'm not going to use them, and from what I can tell they're all available on orchard etc. so their legacy is being maintained. Any other apps seem to work just fine after I installed 9.2.2 International over top, no problems. Thanks everyone.
