XP doesnt have a language support tool? How primitive. :lol:

You can change languages, but they didnt see fit to include Welsh for the two people left that speak it. Id imagine that changing "language support" to "llangoggorechtogogofooog y priddddddddd" breaks some of the window frames and they had to spend a while fixing it.

Welsh is a pointless language; even Esperanto (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Esperanto) has more speakers. :P

Easily installable on Ubuntu with a couple clicks. I often install language support for something like Icelandic, then have such a session for giggles. :lol:

Does MS let you run more than a single language on an XP box? For example, could you have the options of Spanish and English in a bilingual home?

I believe so although Ive never been inclined to test this out.

On fresh installations of Windows I tend to remove English (US) and replace it with English (British) :P

Why would they OEM Yanklish on UK boxen? :huh:

Ive got both Swedish and US sessions available, though mostly a keyswitcher applet is all thats needed. I tried an Arabic session once, but it hurt my brain. :s

MS Sells country specific releases of XP. In order to get a different interface language you have to buy the right language. A mate of mine is stuck with german as an interface language after buying his laptop on the cheap over there.
