However, if you then want to install your MUI Pack on an existing Windows system instead there is nothing in the installation program that will stop you from doing so.
MUI Packs are sold only together with Windows, and only in OEM packages or as part of corporate sales. There is no MUI Pack for the XP Home Edition. Windows MUI Packs are available only for 2000, XP Professional, Server 2000/2003, XP Tablet and XP Embedded. I purchased it along with some parts for a new PC I was building, for a discount price very close to that of a non-MUI package. I used only CD #1, which includes traditional and simplified Chinese.Īlthough now included free with Vista Ultimate and Enterprie (as "Language Packs"), I had to purchase a special version of Windows XP to obtain these features. Each MUI CD has six or seven languages on it. In the picture above you can see my XP Pro OEM edition with the four-disk MUI Pack. MUI Packs do not provide all the features of fully localized versions, and many items remain in English, including much of the Help information. But for individual, academic and small business users they are also useful, educational, interesting and fun. These MUI Packs are primarily intended to assist worldwide corporate IT administration, with all language interfaces based on one single and stable configuration of the English version of Windows XP.
Here is a comparison of the Internet Explorer file menu in the two side-by-side screen shots of the traditional and simplified Chinese UI: This summary will use only the MUI Pack for Windows as an illustration. They are solely focused on changing the user interface. Please note: These packages have nothing to do with the reading and writing features discussed elsewhere on this site. The MUI Packs convert menus, dialogs and many other features of the English versions of Windows and Office into other languages, including traditional and simplified Chinese. Microsoft offers Multilingual User Interface (MUI) Packs for both Windows and Office.
