Multilingual settings for the operating system
Windows MultiLanguage MUI operating system enables users to set the language of the GUI
to their individual preference. Some elements are not localized, however, and remain in the
original language of the system - English.
You should therefore always install English language service packs. Further information
about the language of the GUI, regional settings and inputs is available in the Internet at
http://support.microsoft.com.
Setting up the language selection for Windows XP Professional
The Multilanguage User Interface (MUI) allows you to set up the Windows XP Professional
menus and dialogs for additional languages.
The default setting on your device is Windows XP Professional MUI with English menus and
dialog boxes and a US keyboard layout. You can change the language in the Control Panel.
"Start > Control Panel > Date, Time, Language, and Regional Options > Add other languages"
"Languages" tab, "Language used in menus and dialogs" field.
For the "Date, Time, Language, Regional Options" set the default as "non-Unicode
programs" under "Advanced" in addition to the language for menus and dialogs.
Setting up the language selection in Windows 7
With the Windows 7 operating system the procedure for language selection is the same as
with the Windows XP Professional.
