Multilingual user interfaces are also an essential in environments where there are different users of the same computers who need to work in different languages. This is made possible because you can install any number of interface languages you want. Each user account can have its own interface language. Different interface languages are also available for Microsoft Office. All of the language packs available for Windows are provided free for supported operating systems.
For Windows 7 and Windows
The other type of language pack available is the LIP (language interface pack). These are smaller installation files for less common languages and they will work on any edition of Windows. They do, however, have specific requirements regarding the original language of your copy of Windows (usually English). LIPs only translate the more commonly used parts of the user interface. There are many LIPs available for more obscure languages from Armenian to Welsh.
Every user account can have its own language. To change the language for the user account that you are currently logged in on, simply go to the control panel and click the ‘Change display language’ link. In the classic start menu, this can be found in the ‘Keyboards and Languages’ tab when you double click on the ‘Region and Language’ icon. You can install or uninstall new languages from here as well as select the interface language from the ones available. For the language interface to change, you only need to log off and back on again. You do not need to restart the computer.
