Multi-lingual Office

[Charles bacon]

Has anybody in UK purchased Microsoft Office multilingual
version? (This is defintiely different to multi-
language, under multilingual apparently toolbars vcan be
changed to different languages not just text in
documents).

I would like to know the part number for this product and
if a media kit was required for each language.

If so if you can could you tell me how much the licence
and each language media kit was?

I am looking initially for English, Japanese and French.

Thanks

All versions of (post '97) Office are multilingual in that they allow
editing of dozens of languages and character-sets. You are actually
referring to the MultiLanguage User Interface (MUI) Pack, which must be
installed on a base of an English edition of Office to modify the user
interface strings (help, menus, dialogs)
