Description: Install this update to resolve a display issue that occurs during language pack installation and when accessing the Regional and Language Options control panel.

Update type: Recommended

Release date: August 27, 2007

Applies to: All versions

Knowledge base: support.microsoft.com/kb/938952

Download link: 32-bit | 64-bit

Comments: When you try to use the Chinese (Traditional) Language Pack that is downloaded from the Windows Ultimate Extras section of Windows Update, you may experience the following symptoms.

Symptom 1
If you use the Language Pack Setup tool (Lpksetup.exe) to install the language pack, the language pack is described as "Chinese (Hong Kong S.A.R.)".

Symptom 2
After the installation of the language pack finishes, the language pack is described as "Chinese (Hong Kong S.A.R.)" in the Regional and Language Options item in Control Panel.

Note: Because the Chinese (Traditional) Language pack is used in Taiwan and Hong Kong, the description will confuse users in Taiwan and Hong Kong who download the language pack.

This update will update Lpksetup.exe and the Regional and Language Options item to display a locale-neutral description for the Chinese (Traditional) Language Pack.

First of all - happy Vista Launch Day :)

I just want to write a real quick blog about Windows Vistas way of handling Display Language. With Windows 2000/XP we also had MUIs - Multilingual User Interface language packs - they were just a bit more complicated to setup (just getting the media was a seperate task). LIPs (Language Interface Pack) for Windows Vista Ultimate and Windows Vista Enterprise are now available on Windows Update!

Installing languages (we can have multiple packs installed):

The administrator installs the required language packs and users can user Regional and Language Options to set their Display Language - the language follows the user. In this case I’m, gonna select Danish…

Now all we have to do is to log off:

The GUI is not in Danish… Internet Explorer, Calculator, Control Panel, Help & Support - everything!

Other language packs are available on the Windows Update website - by the end of 2007 there…
