  • Install a Multilingual User Interface Pack (MUI) :
Click on Start Menu, then go to Control Panel.
  1. Click on Clock, Language, and Region option (or Regional and Language Options icon in Classic View).

  2. Click on Install or uninstall display languages under “Regional and Language Options”. For users on Classic View, click on Keyboards and Languages tab, then click on Install/uninstall languages under “Display language”.

  3. Enter administrator password or click on Continue when prompted with User Account Control dialog by Language Pack Installer.
  4. In the Language Packs Installation and Uninstallation wizard, click on Install languages.

  5. Then type or browse to the folder that contains the language pack files. The language file must be in .CAB extension, typical named as “lp.cab”. Note that you just need to specify the top level folder that contains the language files, regardless of the level of folders nested. Language pack installer will search recursively.

    Once selected the folder, the installer will scan the directories and list all languages available to install, together with native name, type (MUI or LIP) and size.

  6. Select and tick the check boxes of all languages that want to be installed. (actually, the check boxes are checked by default, so you should untick and uncheck the check boxes of display languages that don’t want to be installed)
  7. Click on Next button when ready.
  8. Click on radio button for I accept the license terms, then click on Next button.

  9. On the summary page on which language(s) will be installed, click on Install button.

  10. Wait for the installation to finish, which may take a while. A restore point will firstly be created.


  11. Once all selected language files is installed successfully, a confirmation screen will be shown. From here, click on Close button to exit, or check the Change my display language to option, then select a language set from the drop down list, optionally decide whether to apply changes to system accounts (will change the language on Welcome Scree etc.), and then click on Log off to logout and login again to use Windows Vista in new display language.

Note : The Display language section will only be visible if you have already installed a LIP or on Windows Vista Ultimate and Enterprise editions that Windows supports MUI.


  • Change the Display Language (Including Welcome Screen) :

  1. Click on Start Menu, then go to Control Panel.
  2. Click on Clock, Language, and Region option (or Regional and Language Options icon in Classic View).

  3. Click on Change display language under “Regional and Language Options”. For users on Classic View, click on Keyboards and Languages tab.

  4. Under Display language, choose a language from the list.

    If no list of display languages been shown, make sure that you have installed additional language packs or files.

  1. Click OK (skip if you intend to change the language of Welcome screen too).

The new language is now applied to user interface. Log off and log on again to apply the change. The new language set is applied for your user account only, but not on Welcome screen nor default user account settings for new users.

The system accounts are special accounts used by Windows‌ services. This setting allows administrators to specify a display language and keyboard layout for the Welcome screen. It also sets the display language for users who have not specified a display language.

    Optionally, to copy the current settings to the default user account, select the Default user account (new users) check box. The default account is used as a template for creating new user accounts. This setting allows administrators to set the default format, keyboard layout, and display language for new users. Any user account created on the computer after the settings have been copied to the default user account has these settings applied to it. Existing user accounts are not affected.

  5. Click OK to apply the change.
