I'm gonna ask an naughty question....
 
Is that in the UK? 
If I watch UK soaps, I sometimes wonder what language they are speaking
:-)
(the Londen accent)

	Some of my users can barely speak English... let alone a
"second" language! :-)

	Thats the advantage of beeing in a country with tree offical
languages and the EC in Brussels...
	I used to work for a company whom shipped computers/terminal in
as many languages as the EC exists of countries.....
	My job was to prepare them...
	And not to forget as many different keyboards  too...
	 
	I now have customers working in 4 languages.... English (Int),
Dutch, French and 1 German...
	I know most of the menu's in office by heart in 3
languages....when giving suport by phone...

		I must say I thought it was as Erwin describes. The
language setting dictates keyboard entry but not the display of Windows
itself.

				You can change the language settings in
there, I'm sure - the first tab is "Language"...

				No no
				 
				Thats only for country specific things
like date number format, GMT time offset etc....
				 
				Forgot something. English international
is not the same as American English.
				I believe US version is more
lightweighted and has less international support.
				I'm not sure, but I wonder if a US
version will permit you to set the regional settings to Germany for
example?

				Is it not in the default language
settings? Control Panels/Regional settings? I've not got much experience
of XP, but you can certainly do that in 2K.

				A question for one of you continental
European guys.
				
				If one was to buy a WXP laptop from,say,
a German seller and give that to an English speaker, is there any way of
changing the display of system messages, option names etc to all be in
English? Or would one have to buy and install a UK copy of WXP?
