I'm assuming that you're actually running Windows 2000, and that you're
trying to enable language in another writing system (East Asian, or
bi-directional). You will have to get a replacement CD.

If you're asking for something else please mentions your Windows version,
the desired languages, and whether you are looking for editing funcions,
proofing tools or user interface language changes.

There is only a single CD for Windows 2000, but for those languages you
shouldn't have to do more than install keyboard support via Control Panel.

Having read KB article 292246, it's possible that you may have to upgrade to
Windows XP for these languages. I don't have Windows 2000 available to
inspect for supprot for these languages.

I'm cross-posting to Word's international.features NG: although this is a
Windows issue I haven't been able to persuade the Windows folks to create an
international NG for their features.

Hi,

There is only a single CD for Windows 2000, but for those languages you
shouldn't have to do more than install keyboard support via Control Panel.

No, it's a known issue for _any_ language that is different from
a Windows 2000 default. Say I have US English Windows 2000. Then -
unlike Windows NT 4.0 and XP - I *must* have its installation CD-ROM
to be able to add national keyboard layouts, for example:

- until I have that CD-ROM and check "Cyrillic" in
Control Panel - Regionla Options - Default tab -
"Language Settings for the System",
I will *not* see Russian, Ukrainian, Bulgarian, etc.
keyboard layouts in the drop-down list "Add Keyboard"
- same for "Baltic" and its languages - Latvian, etc.
- same for "Central European", "Greek", etc.

So the answer to the original question is, "No, you must find the CD",

Having read KB article 292246, it's possible that you may have to upgrade to
Windows XP for these languages. I don't have Windows 2000 available to
inspect for supprot for these languages.

No, these languages and their support are not different under XP and
2000, article 292246 is unapplicable here. Again, the issue exists
for _any_ language that does not belong to the default Character Set
of a Windows 2000 installation.
For example, "Cyrillic" would be already checked and corresponding
keyboard layouts available in "Add Keyboard" if this is localized
Russian Windows 2000.

I'm cross-posting to Word's international.features NG: although this is a
Windows issue I haven't been able to persuade the Windows folks to create an
international NG for their features.

This one usually contains such discussions:
microsoft.public.win32.programmer.international

Eventhough it has 'programmer' in it, Internationalization issues
of MS Windows are discussed there in lack of another such forum.
