Install MUI in windows xp w/ sp2

[Tabootest]

Dear all,

I have bought a new Dell pc w/ Windows XP Pro SP2 (Eng). What
should i do if i want to change the Windows' interface to Chinese
Traditional.
I have found that there are MUI langage packs at Microsoft
(http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=E1310D06-F663-4897
-9951-5D70A108D104&displaylang=en), but it stated that they are for Windows
XP Embedded SP1, should i use it? Will it cause damage to my system.
Please give some recommendations.

Thanks

Windows XP is written in specific language versions, therefore one
cannot change it from one language version to another. You'll need
to purchase a "Full Version" of Windows XP in the language version
you desire, reformat your drive and install it "clean".

Or if you have an available empty drive or partition, you can install
another "Full Version" of Windows XP in a different language version
and create a dual-boot configuration.

But i have heard that there is "Multi-languages version" of windows xp which
install other languages (eg. Cht, Chs, jp...) based on the default English
one.
Also, why Microsoft stated the Windows XP Embedded version can import other
languages?
Thanks.

According to the System Requirements on the link you provided, Windows
XP Pro does not qualify.

The Windows XP MUI is available to Volume License programs, #6 on the
following link:

If you want Windows XP in a different language, you will need to buy
Windows XP in that language.
