Download languages for Windows - Microsoft Windows

“You can download and install additional languages to view Windows menus, dialog boxes, and other user interface items in your preferred language. Additional languages will work only with a genuine copy of Windows . Some languages are installed from the Microsoft Download Center, and some are installed using Windows Update. In addition, some languages require a premium edition of Windows or a particular parent language. For more information, see How do I get additional display languages?

  • Language Packs. If you're running the Ultimate or Enterprise edition of Windows, you can download any of the 33 available language packs by using Windows Update. Language packs provide a translated version of Windows dialog boxes, menu items, and help content.

  • Language Interface Packs (LIPs). LIPs can be installed over any edition of Windows and provide a translated version of only the most common dialog boxes, menu items, and help content. You can download LIPs from the Microsoft Download Center by using the links below. To install a LIP, you will need to have the required parent language installed on your PC. If your language is listed as "coming soon," it's on the way—check back here for updates.”
