Win2k3 Srv - Localized language version in English?

[Guest Jeremy Phillips]

I work for a company that develops a software suite that is supported on both

English and Japanese OS. However, since I don't understand Japanese, it can

be quite difficult to maintain/troubleshoot servers where the entire

interface is in a language I don't understand. Most of the time I can fumble

my way along by either knowing by memory where to click, or opening a

connection to a 2nd server that's running in English and mimic mouse clicks.

However, this is still a pain, and sometimes lists are sorted differently, so

I can't always fall back on this method.

 

I've scoured the internet and Microsoft for any options that would allow me

to use an English interface, but haven't come up with anything. What I'd

like is something along the lines of the MUI (Multilingual User Interface)

Pack, but supported on the localized OS version.

 

Are there any options or tools (even 3rd party) that would help me? Event

logs and basic Windows interface in English would help me tremendously!

 

To re-iterate, I'm not looking to change a localized copy of Windows

Japanese to English. I just want to allow some form of English interface to

be selectable on the localized version that wouldn't change/compromise the

underlying OS installation itself.

 

Thanks in advance!
