English XP Pro with Chinese software in Chinese?

[Lenard]

My friend wants to use my old XP pc in their language but my old pc is
English XP. They would like to install chinese office and other naitve
chinese software for their use onto that machine. Possible without any
conflicts?

So, using WinXP Pro English version with the regional settings & IME set to
chinese, this will display everything in chinese on the desktop and webpages
presumably?

How about if they install native chinese software to this system also?

What about windows update, will it update English and Chinese software - if
genuine of course?

Any drawbacks except, it is not readable being a foreign language??

Kinda need an answer quickly...
That's all, thanks a lot.

Your friend will have to format the machine and install a Chinese-language
version of Windows.
