Hi People, Is it possible to change the language on a portugese version of
windows xp to english? I.e there are portguese and english users of the OP
sys, Can one user view windows in Portguese and another in english??
Is it possible to do this and if so how can it be done?
Thank you for your time.

No, if you want Windows XP in English, you need to buy Windows XP in
English.

The Multilingual User Interface can allow an English version to change to
another language, but the MUI has limited availability:

Only by installing two versions of Windows, one in each language.

Please reply to the newsgroup

There are 24 fully localized versions of Windows XP Professional
There are 33 languages available in the Windows XP Professional
Multilingual User Interface Pack, which is an add-on to the English
version of Windows XP Professional
Windows XP Pro MUI is currently available as OEM, the MUI add-on for
Window XP Pro is only available for the English Localize version and
only to corporate etc, licensing. So the only way to get one or two
PC's running MUI Win XP Pro is to order them from OEM venders such as
DELL or order the Multilingual Win XP Pro OEM and role your own.
