From Windows Vista onward, the MUI was enhanced further and languages no longer need to be integrated into application files and instead MUI applies the language to the chosen application in a way more like a themed skin. The advantage of using an MUI package is the core Windows files remain the same and the local language of the installed operating system is unchanged, only things like menus, dialogs and the application API gets changed to the new language. The Multilingual User Interface (MUI) is available for Windows, Microsoft Office and several other applications that provide multilingual support on one system. This means that on a single system you can have multiple accounts, each having their own preferred display language for the user interface.
Something Microsoft decided to introduce back in Windows 2000 was a method of allowing the user to install multiple languages for the interface onto a single operating system. Windows XP SP3 RTM Build 5512 can be downloaded here.Because the Microsoft Windows operating system is used all over the world, it comes as no surprise that there are several different languages available for it.
We recommend customers use Windows Update to install the service pack, as it will provide the best experience,” revealed M3 Sweatt, the Chief of Staff of the Windows Core Operating System Division (COSD) at Microsoft. Windows XP SP3 will not significantly change the Windows XP experience.
Windows XP SP3 includes all previously released updates for the operating system, in addition to a small number of new updates.
“As noted on TechNet off the main Windows XP TechCenter, Windows XP Service Pack 3 (SP3) is now available for download and install via Windows Update and the Microsoft Download Center. “Install this package to get the Microsoft Multilingual User Interface Pack (MUI) Update for Windows XP Service Pack 3 (SP3),” Microsoft revealed. The update resolves all issues, according to the company. Microsoft Management Console (MMC) 3.0, Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) 6.1, Network Access Protection (NAP) and Scripting binaries are the components Microsoft pointed to as failing to integrate seamlessly into XP SP3. The English text may appear in lists, menus, dialog boxes, product Help, and other locations,” Microsoft informed. However, text may appear in English in the UI instead of in the selected language. “On a computer that is running the English version of Windows XP SP3 with the Windows XP SP2 Multilingual User Interface (MUI) Pack, you can select a non-English language for the user interface (UI). The update is, in fact, meant to fix an incongruity between the MUI Pack and the gold bits of XP SP3. Now, with the advent of XP SP3, the Redmond company has not made available a new variant of the MUI Pack, but instead introduced an update set up to make the Multilingual User Interface package for XP SP2 play well with Service Pack 3. Microsoft has available a version of the MUI Pack which is tailored to XP Service Pack 2. The Multilingual User Interface Pack for Windows XP is designed to enable the end user to swap the languages for the graphical user interface.
