How to enable Korean language on Windows XP

[Guest]

Hello,

I have Windows XP Pro, SP2. I need to conver this workstation into Korean. I
have installed the East Asian languages from the XP CD, which has enabled
some Korean, such as in Internet Explorer, but the rest of the OS and
programs are still in English.

Also, I would like to be able to type Korean characters and although I
though I enabled the Korean keyboard, I cannot figure out how to type in
Korean. Can anyone help me?

Thanks,
Michael

There is no way to convert the interface to a different language. You'll
have to purchase a copy of XP in Korean and clean install it. If wanted you
could set it up as a dual boot with the English language version either
could be run.

It is possible to view Korean in the entire system, like in Windows Explorer,
Windows Media Player, etc. without the CD. However, you cannot input Korean
without a word processor in Korean that uses pin-yin or something like that.
Here's how to install the East Asian Language Pack for Win XP: In the Control
Panel, click "Date, Time, Regional, and Language Options". Then click "Add
other languages". Then under the "Language" tab on the top, check "Install
Files for East Asian Langauges". You will then have to restart for the
changes to take effect. Enjoy your Korean reading 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.
