how is the Vista translated into other languages' version?

[abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz]

by machine translating ??? if this , the accuracy of translating cann't be
ensured . If it is done by mnapower ,this will be too slow .It is said that
Vista has tens of millions of rows of original code.

The main code is all written language independent, and all the language
strings are stored in '.mui' files. I'm guessing those strings are
translated by real people, but it may be by machine.

This method puts all the strings that need to be translated in individual
files and not mixed in with the rest of the code.

The code in Vista is language agnostic. The Microsoft localization portal
is at:
http://www.microsoft.com/globaldev/getwr/steps/localization/loc_overview.mspx
and for language packs, see:

Do you know when or where these language packs will appear?

No. Sorry.

In the past (XP) the MUIs were only available to
volume license customers.
