Adding Language Groups (LangPacks)

With multiple languages installed on your computer, you can compose documents that contain more than one language, or use a default language other than English. Recipients of multilingual documents must have the same languages installed on their computers to read or edit the documents. All Western European languages are already available by default. Follow the steps below to add other language groups to your Windows 2000 system:

1. Log on as an Administrator or member of the administrators group.
2. Double-click My Computer, double-click Control Panel, and double-click Regional Options.
3. On the General tab, in the area located under Language settings for the system, select the check box next to the language group you want to install.
4. Click Apply.

   Note: After the languages are installed, Windows 2000 prompts you to restart the computer.
