Where can I buy foreign language versions of Office in the USA?

[Paul M.]

Hi,

My small office of 10 users regularly needs to use Thai language software
for drafting / communicating with our suppliers in Thailand.

To that end we would like to get the actual "Thai Edition" of MS Office 2007
so that we can fully use the language features within in (spell check,
sentence and paragraph breaks, etc.).

Now illegal copies of Thai Edition are widely available at the street
vendors but we would like to buy AUTHENTIC copies and stay legitimate but
finding foreign language versions of Microsoft software in the USA seems next
to impossible!

Any pointers or contacts that anyone can give me would be greatly
appreciated. Our usual IT vendor is Dell through their Small Business section
but they only offer English versions of MS software.

Thanks in advance!

For Office 2007 you will be able to add menu/proofing tool languages (first ones are to be available for purchase at the end of
March) individually, or by around the end of June the Office 2007 kit.

Thanks for the reply, Peter.

Will I be able to purchase these "language add-ons" from microsoft directly
(say online) or would it be available via retail or some other channel?

I am trying to find a source within the USA for these language products, if
at all possible - since buying from overseas / within their local markets is
not convenient (We are located in the USA but we do business with many
different parts of Asia).

Thanks in advance for any advice / suggestions!
