Guest Jupiter Jones [MVP] Posted September 5, 2007 Posted September 5, 2007 Re: XP in Diff Language Possibly but not likely. First you need Windows XP Professional in English. Then you need the Multilingual User Interface, which has limited availability: http://www.microsoft.com/globaldev/DrIntl/faqs/MUIFaq.mspx More than likely if you want Windows XP in a different language, you need to buy it in the desired language. -- Jupiter Jones [MVP] http://www3.telus.net/dandemar http://www.dts-l.org "Den" <test@gromro.com> wrote in message news:ewojEO47HHA.1212@TK2MSFTNGP05.phx.gbl... > Can i convert my existing version of XP Pro into other language > based ? > like Japanese ?
