Menus, help files, and icons generated by Windows XP Professional are shown in your selected language. All other programs are displayed in English as the default language.

The multilingual user interface language option is not designed to replace a localized version of the Microsoft® Windows® XP Professional operating system. Under certain conditions, some third-party software applications may not function properly.
