You can't. You'd need to upgrade to a Volume License of WinXP Pro to

support a multi-lingual interface.

XP Home doesn't support the MUI, and you probably don't need it anyway.

 

What you can very likely do instead is install a Cyrillic font, if you don't

already have one, then choose the characters required.

 

It's not necessary to change the OS language for a PowerPoint presentation.
