update: because of a miscommunication, I mistakenly stated that the release of the Serbian MUI pack was held up; this is not the case -- Serbian is indeed available as of today.
Barry Goffe, Director of Windows Ultimate, today disclosed on windowsultimate.com that the remaining 18 19 language packs have been made available via Windows Update.
The additional supported languages are:
- Arabic
- Bulgarian
- Croatian
- Czech
- Estonian
- Greek
- Hebrew
- Hungarian
- Latvian
- Lithuanian
- Polish
- Portuguese (Portugal)
- Romanian
- Serbian
- Slovak
- Slovenian
- Thai
- Turkish
- Ukrainian
Also, this release includes an update to the lpksetup.exe installation component, correcting issues that affected some customers at installation. We recommend you download and install this component before installing any language packs; the updated component can be found here.
A multi-language user interface (MUI) pack allows a user to run Windows Vista Ultimate in one of 35 36 available languages. You can quickly switch among languages on a single installation of Windows Vista by associating a system language with your login name.
Barry also mentions his team's plan to ship additional Extras soon, with details forthcoming.
