New, simplified terminology The terminology used in versions of Windows earlier than Windows XP Professional has been updated to simpler, more descriptive terms:

Standards and Formats, which determines the formats used to display dates, times, currency, numbers, and the sorting order of text, was previously called the User Locale. Input Language, which specifies the combination of the language and keyboard layout used to enter text, was previously called the Input Locale. Language for Non-Unicode Programs, which specifies the default code pages and fonts for running non-Unicode programs, was previously called the System Locale.

Additional answer file and Unattended mode Setup options Windows XP Professional includes four new language keys that you can use in the [RegionalSettings] section of answer files. These keys make it easier for administrators to customize language settings, such as the default input language for new user accounts. Other features provide more options for customizing Unattended mode setups and silent configurations after setup. Updated multilingual troubleshooter The Multilingual Document Consultant in Windows XP Professional Help and Support Center can assist you in diagnosing and resolving problems with displaying or entering different languages. Improved Windows XP Professional Multilingual User Interface Pack The Windows XP Professional Multilingual User Interface Pack (MUI Pack) ensures that most of the operating system user interface including the Start and Programs menus, alerts and dialog boxes, and the Windows XP Professional Help and Support Center appears in the localized language that has been selected as the default. (In Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional MultiLanguage Version, for example, a user who switches the user interface language to German might still find some user interface elements displayed in English.) Although it is based on the code of the Microsoft Windows XP Professional International English language version, the MUI Pack also includes more localized components that make it easier to develop multilingual applications. New Windows Installer MUI language packages reduce storage space requirements on network servers or CD images and make it easier for administrators to set up, and for users to install, additional user interface languages. The MUI Pack also includes improved local language drivers, makes roaming easier, and simplifies remote administration over a corporate network. Note

The Windows XP Professional MUI Pack is available only through Volume Licensing programs and OEMs. The MUI Pack is not available through retail channels. The Windows XP Tablet PC Edition 2005 MUI Pack is available directly to end users via download from http: //www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx FamilyID=ac1c6f5a-bace-425b-bc60f8d3331c89a3&displaylang=en.

This section introduces some key features, concepts, and terms you need to understand as you work with a multilingual or international deployment of Windows XP Professional. Included are discussions of basic concepts, such as language collections, the use of alternative keyboard layouts, Input Method Editors, and Unicode, as well as descriptions of new terms introduced with Windows XP Professional. Note

On a Microsoft Tablet PC, you can select the language you want your keyboard to recognize. In addition, the Microsoft Windows XP Tablet PC Edition 2005 includes the Tablet PC Recognizer Pack. The Recognizer Pack lets you convert ink and speech to typed text in multiple languages. For more information, see Microsoft Tablet PC Recognizer Pack at http: //www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/tabletpc/learnmore/multilanguagecd.mspx.

Each language version of Windows XP Professional supports hundreds of languages through 17 language groups, which are organized into three separately installable language collections, as shown in Table 3-2. Note

In Windows XP Professional unlike Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional you cannot install individual language groups. You must install the appropriate language collection as described in Table 3-2, which includes support for all language groups in that language collection.

Installation Status Always installed on every language version. Language Group ID and Name 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Western Europe and United States Central Europe Baltic Greek Cyrillic Turkic
