[Request] How to have Windows Vista Setup in other languages?

[gjs1992]

Hi peeps,

I'e seen chon_'s Guide on how to have Vista x86 and x64 on one DVD.

Now, the main question is how did Chon_ use a different (Probably French) language in the setup [in his screenshot specifically]?

Originally Microsoft gives the setup in English language ONLY by default.

Please reply with a decent way of doing it.

Thanks in advance.

using the WAIK and an unattend file you can set the setup language to anything that is supported

Please give me further informaton on how to do it, and can we still have to select between the English language and the other languages sooner to be added to the drop-down menu at the beggining of the installation?

Thanks.

you need to read through this

Windows Automated Installation Kit (WAIK) User's Guide for Windows Vista

that will give you the information you are looking for

Okay... You don't get me pretty well here...

When you Boot from the Windows Vista DVD, it asks you to select a language to use for the installation, a language to use for Windows and a laguage to use for your keyboard layout...

What I'm trying to say is... When they ask for the language to use in the installer, the only available in the drop-down menu is "English", I want to add up MORE languages to that drop down menu... Would you MIND telling me HOW to add the languages to the drop-down menu and how to make them function please.

Thanks in advance.
