Setting Up Your Language with Windows XP Professional

The language mode selection is available on models with Windows XP Professional, but not with Windows XP Home Edition. Please see the online Specifications to see which Windows edition is installed on your model.

Windows XP Professional computers include the Multilingual User Interface (MUI) feature. It allows you to change the English operating system, some software applications and the keyboard layout into the language of your choice: French, German, Japanese, Dutch, Italian, Spanish, Czech, Finnish, Greek, Portuguese and Swedish.

It is important that you select the correct keyboard settings during the Windows Setup.

To select the correct keyboard settings during Windows Setup

1At first boot, click Next, then Next again in the Windows XP Setup Wizard window. The Select Your System Settings window appears.

2Fill in these three questions:

❑I live the closest to this region.

❑I type mostly in this language.

❑I use this type of keyboard.

3In the End User License Agreement, accept the License Agreement and click Next.

4Continue your Windows setup until it is finished.

You can also change the country and language settings into your language as soon as Windows has been restarted.
