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.

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.)
