Setting up your language with Windows XP Professional

Windows XP Professional computers are equipped with the Multilingual User Interface (MUI) feature. It
allows you to change the English operating system, some software applications and the keyboard layout into
the language of your choice: français, Deutsch, Japanese, Nederlands, italiano, español, čeština,
suomi, ελληνικά, portugués and svenska.
It is important that you select the correct keyboard settings during the Windows Setup.
To select the correct keyboard settings during Windows Setup, proceed as follows:
1 At first boot, click 2x Next in the Windows XP Setup Wizard window.
The Select Your System Settings dialog box appears.
2 Fill in these three questions:
❑
I live the closest to this region.
❑
I type mostly in this language.
❑
I use this type of keyboard.
3 In the End User License Agreement, accept the License Agreement and click Next.
4 Continue your Windows setup until it is finished.
You can also change the country and language settings into your language as soon as Windows has been
restarted or use the Language Selector.
To change the country and language settings, proceed as follows:
1 Click Start and then Control Panel.
2 In the Control Panel window, double-click the Regional and Language Options icon.
If you do not see this icon, click Switch to Classic View on the left side.

from the Standards and formats drop-down menu.
