Hello everyone,

Today i am going to tell you how you can enable the language bar in your Windows PC. There times where the language bar disappears and we can not write in other than the system language. Or when for a reason we have it disabled and cannot enable it again. Here you can find out how easy it is to bring it up and type in what ever language you desire

Firstly some information about the process that is responsible for the language bar – CTFMON.EXE:

1. What is the ctfmon.exe file ?
   Ctfmon.exe activates the Alternative User Input Text Input Processor (TIP) and the Microsoft Office Language Bar.
2. What Does the Ctfmon.exe File Do?
   Ctfmon.exe monitors the active windows and provides text input service support for speech recognition, handwriting recognition, keyboard, translation, and other alternative user input technologies.

Ok, now that you know what this process is where do we find it and how can we bring it up ?

Go to "C:\Windows\System32" (where C: is your system drive)

Right Click on the “Ctfmon.exe” and select “Pin to Start Menu” or “Create a shortcut”. Now double click it to enable the language bar.

Now everytime you open your PC and the language bar is missing click your shortcut from start menu or wherever you put it.

For any questions or problems don’t hesitate to comment !!!

Thanks for reading
