Changing UI Language in Windows XP
Marcus
a norwegian language pack.
I cannot change the UI language to norwegian however. This is because
the combobox in the "Control Panel"->"Regional and Language Options"-
>Languages->"Language used in menus and dialogs" is not visible.
I have to install another arbitrary language so I have 2 installed
language packs, to get the combobox visible. I can then from the
combobox select norwegian as "Language used in menus and dialogs".
Question #1:
Do I really have to install >1 language packs in order to change UI
language in Windows?
Question #2:
How do I change back to english as Windows UI language? English is
not
selectable in the combobox at "Language used in menus and dialogs".
But it is the initial language of my XP installation. I would like to
be able to easily switch between english and norwegian in some way.
thanks

I believe so but once you've installed and selected it, you can get rid
of the other one(s)

Again I think you have to have more than one language installed then a
'language bar' will appear on the taskbar from where you can easily
change the language.

Thanks for answering!
Regarding #2: AFAIK selecting language from the language bar only
changes the locale (that is the input language and the culture), not
the UI language.
Maybe there is some way of enable/disable a language pack, to switch
between the initial language of the XP installation and norwegian? I
have tried using the muisetup.exe for this. So I launched muisetup and
from there I unchecked norwegian. After clicking OK, I was prompted to
reboot. Did that and voila - I enjoyed an english UI. The norwegian
language pack was still installed (looked in Add or Remove Programs).
The weird thing is that the checkbox was not present any more when I
started up muisetup.exe to check the norwegian checkbox again (to get
back to norwegian).

More out of curiosity than any other reason, I did a Google search for
"changing UI language XP". I thought this item might be relevant:

My concerns is not just for my own PC, but for alot of our customers
PC's around the world. MUI seems to be a good feature. It's downside
is that we support our product on XP/Vista and on Vista, MUI is only
supported on the Ultimate and Enterprise editions which is not enough.
Also from what I have understood MUI is only available through some
specific volume licensing programs that probably not all customers are
part of.
