English to Spanish

[Guest]

I am needing to convert my Windows XP from English to Spanish. I have gone
to the regional setting in the control panel and changed it to Spanish, but
all of the applications are still in English. I would like to see if it is
possible to do this without having to buy another version of Windows XP.

You cannot upgrade or convert from one language version of the OS to
another, so you'll have to purchase and use the full version of WinXP
(in whatever language you want) to perform a clean installation.

This link might help -- maybe give you ideas on what to search for. I've
never tried to use any other language than my default language.

If the applications are in English, I don't see how a different OS is going
to change the application to Spanish. I think the OS can only change the
language of the menu items and dialog boxes, but I'm not sure.

You will likely have to replace any 3rd party applications with Spanish
versions, too.
