Multi-language support in Windows 7

Hello, Welcome!
I believe you need to have Ultimate to get the language packs.

Hello Oscar, welcome to the Seven Forums.

You can have a multilingual Windows 7 quite easy. I am using a system with four languages installed: English and Swedish because of my work, German because that's where I currently live and Finnish which is my native language. I use all four languages almost daily, a Windows 7 language pack changes the system language completely.

To start, you need an Ultimate or Enterprise edition of Seven. Then you just go to Windows Update and download the languages you need. Create different user accounts for different languages; when language of an user account is changed it is changed totally i.e. everything is then in the chosen language. You can not swap the language on the fly.

Here's my logon screen, like they say one picture is sometimes worth thousand words:

Another vote: I use English, Japanese and Chinese and I needed Ultimate. :)

Kari - Nice pic, I might even forgive you for that Aussie joke you posted earlier

Direct link to language packs, it might come in useful. MUI Packs:From MU Server - Windows 7 Center Forums

Let's make a deal: you can post a Finn-joke and I promise not to feel myself offended... Background info for creating a Finn-joke: we are said to be the most melancholic people in this Universe, suicide rate is 3rd highest in the world. We are heavy coffee and vodka drinkers. We live half of the year in darkness; where I'm born a couple hundreds kilometers north from Arctic Circle the sun was last time seen about a week ago. The long night, Kaamos as we say, ends when sun is next time to see end of January. Opposite to that, around midsummer we have month and a half midnight sun, a very long day...

The joke is pending, I'll wait to you're not looking .
PS: I was in Denmark earlier this year and it was daylight at midnight every day/night. I'm still amazed by that!
