Hello,

as far as I know, it is not possible for Home Premium to change the language
that way.
You'd need Vista Ultimate to download a Multilingual User Interface pack.

Greetings,

Correct, only Ultimate offers this feature.

I still have trouble understanding why someone would purchase an operating
system in any language other than the one they are accustomed to.

Basically, it happens because of circumstance. I know for me, my
computer is my lifeline. I use it for almost everything on a daily
basis. Should I travel to a foreign country like Japan or China, I
might choose to use Internet Cafe's as a way of remaining connected to
my lifeline but eventually it might feel to me that the cost is too
expensive or inconvenient etc.

Hence, I decide to buy a Laptop which in Japan would come with
Japanese or in China would likely come with simplified or traditional
Chinese.

That or when traveling overseas you can sometimes get discounts on
electronics far better than in your local country. IE. Hong Kong.

Go Start/Control Panel. Regional and Language Options.

You cannot change languages in any Home edition of Vista.

Not really much of a bargain when you have to make an additional purchase of
a full version operating system. To me that's like trying to save a few
dollars by buying a used car, then spending 2-3 grand on a new motor for it.

As to having to buy one while one is in a foreign country, then that's
simply poor planning on the part of the traveler.

Do you really need the OS in a different language? You can install and run
applications in any language they come in if that's what you really want.
just add additional languages to the input. I've passed on English XP
laptops to relatives in Sweden installed with Swedish versions of all the
apps they will use...

Over and above the applications themselves, people have to deal with
error messages and other information displayed by Windows itself.
Chances are that people in Sweden are better prepared to deal with
English than Americans are to deal with Swedish.

Well, indeed ;-)
