Loading Multilanguage Service Pack 3

L

Lori Kuiper

I have Office XP Professional running on Windows XP Professional. There was
a notation with Service Packs 2 and 3 that 2 updates would need to be loaded
if I had a Multilanguage version of Office.

How do I know if I need the Multilanguage update? I do have an option to
select the language, but I did not purchase any special Multilanguage
version of Office XP, just the professional version. Do I need to apply
this update or not?

Hi Lori,

Is your version of Office XP you are using English? If thats the only
language you desire to use then there isn't a need to have the
multi-language packs.


Multilingual User Interface Pack
===================================

The Multilingual User Interface Pack (MUI Pack) includes files for
displaying the Office user interface and Help in several languages. With
MUI Packs, users worldwide can run the Office user interface and online
Help in one or more languages, or create and edit documents in other
languages. For administrators, the core functionality of Office 2003 allows
them to deploy a single version of Office — regardless of what language is
primarily used at their users' location — along with the necessary language
resources.

Although Office is localized into specific language versions, Office with
the MUI Pack provides combined support for those languages in a single
product because it is built on core code that you can run internationally.
(Localized versions provide additional language-specific functionality in
minor areas such as right-click menus.) Language-specific user interface
and Help text are stored separately. These language features “plug in” to
the core Office 2003 code, and your users can install and run these
features when they need them.

The plug-in language capabilities of the MUI Pack allow you to install
English Office 2003 on your computer and view the Office 2003 user
interface and Help in another language — for example, German. You can even
view Help in one language and the user interface in another.
