I think you are SOL But this is the way I think it works. The Windows MultiLanguage Pack or it's new incarnation MUI Multilingual User Interface is only available to OEM and enterprise licenses. maybe it is in the Action Packs? It also has to be installed over the US version initially. I guess this is to ease hotfixes. http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=323282 http://www.microsoft.com/globaldev/DrIntl/faqs/MUIFaq.mspx#MUIques6 The Windows 2000 MultiLanguage Version builds on top of this support by adding the capability of switching the User Interface (menus, dialogs and help files) from one language to another. This feature helps make administration and support of multilingual computing environments much easier by: * allowing workstations to be shared by users who speak different languages * facilitating the roll-out of one system company-wide, with the addition of User Interface languages as they become available. This allows the one same service pack to update all machines. The Windows 2000 MultiLanguage Version allows each user of a workstation to select one of the installed User Interface languages. This selection is then stored in their user profile. When a user logs on, the appearance of the system and the help files associated with the system components changes to the selected language. (Note that this is not quite the same as running a localized version of Windows 2000. The Windows 2000 MultiLanguage Version is based on the international English version of Windows 2000. Accordingly, some parts of the system -- most noticeably the registry -- remain in English.) Paul Rodgers wrote: >The price was right, but the language isn't.
