Ponch Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 I'm not presuming on your wealth but in this case, buying an install cd in your own language would save you years of headaches for cheap. Where would you ge the translations from anyway ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bravosix Posted February 16, 2010 Author Share Posted February 16, 2010 (edited) I cant do that, cos my language(Javanese) version of windows XP installation CD is not availble. Maybe i'll try to change the language string in the wind xp installation file manually, if there's any way to do that.

johnhc Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 bravosix, first, please attach your Last Session as requested at the top in RED. I have used only English (ENU) versions of Windows in English, but have you looked at the Regional tab of the Unattended task of nLite ( I find no Javanese - perhaps there is another term used). Have you researched the Multilingual User Interface (MUI)? I have only heard of it but know there has been some discussions about it here. Please do some searching. Enjoy, John.

mooms Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 (edited) you can edit the setup files of windows xp, search in the appropriate section (not in the nlite section) of this forum Edited February 16, 2010 by mooms Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bravosix Posted February 17, 2010 Author Share Posted February 17, 2010 That is the problem: i dont know which file, n how to do it, yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ponch Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 Sorry, I thought you wanted to modify the whole Windows GUI, but you obviously only want the install screens to be changed. As Mooms suggests, you beter post in the "Customize Windows" forum, maybe this can be moved there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bravosix Posted February 17, 2010 Author Share Posted February 17, 2010 I was searching in "Customize windows" forum, and I found how to do it by editing/hacking string value in the SMSS.dll file of the winXP. But ihaven't try it yet .Thanks for you all for helping me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fdv Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 See my thread in the nlite forum where we address this very topic toward the end. No specific solution is offered but I think this will get you up to speed EXTREMELY quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
