So far no-one has requested a language specific version of the XPSP3_QFE_UpdatePack for Windows XP Post-SP3 addon, and the XPSP3 QFE POSReady Update Pack, so I need not give this any attention until they do.  On reflection I think I would have to obtain an XP installation ISO in their language, identify all the Windows updates required for the above addon and update pack that include language options, then install them one by one while logging the changes made to the registry and file system.  I could then use these logs to edit the entries.ini and inf file of my releases of the addon and update pack.  This would be a lot of work, so I hope they request a popular language like Spanish rather than Maori for instance.

If you are interested in ricktendo's UpdatePacks
Ricks_XPsp3esUpdatePack2.0.6 7z that has not been further developed
I can share it with you.
Only Spanish (ESN) and I have ISO Home Edition in all languages.

Ricktendo's Spanish XPSP3 update pack was released in 2015, and can be obtained here. I cannot see any modules dated later than 2014.  To update it I assume that I would have to integrate it into a Spanish ISO then install XP using this ISO, and wait for Automatic Update to produce a list of pending updates which I could install one by one while logging the changes. Of course the XP update server has long been decommissioned and an offline update is not possible because no-one has produced a Spanish version of an XP WSUS Offline ISO . 

I think my approach would be to collect all the last Windows XP and embedded updates, including those with Spanish versions, and use  DXUAPC to automatically produce a Spanish XPSP3 update pack and embedded addon.  The registry entries in sp3updck.inf would be taken from each of the update installer's inf files so they could be incomplete.  Therefore I would copy over the Spanish modules into the extracted user_hidden XPSP3 QFE Update pack and retain all the registry entries in his qfe_updpck.inf except for the time zone entries which would have to be revised.

This is the source used for DXUAPC

I included POSReady as well.

Hope it can help you.

Thanks for providing a link to this fantastic archive of all the NT5.1x final updates released in every language.  Had I had this resource my build of the Spanish XPSP3 QFE  Update Pack would have been problem free, but instead I found that many SP3 updates were no longer available at the Microsoft Update Catalog, so I had to import Spanish modules from the One Piece Spanish AIO update pack.  The result is not entirely satisfactory, but it should be OK in practice

Here are the Spanish versions of the XPSP3 QFE Update Pack and the POSready 2009 Addon that I promised.

The update pack will cause setuperr.log to show dpcdll.dll, wowfax.dll and wowfaxui.dll to be unsigned.  I have been unable to remedy this, but a SFC scan does not show any errors.  The addon works flawlessly when integrated into a professional edition source, but when integrated into a home edition source setuperr.log shows several OLE controls are unregistered.  When you log into Windows there is a message about srclient.dll not found and the following error message is displayed:

API error NTCREATEFILE. This error should never be returned by an application; it is a place holder for the Windows Lan Manager Redirector to use in its internal error mapping routines.

I am baffled by the errors when the addon is integrated into a home edition source and would appreciate some insight into how to remedy this.

For KB4034775
Microsoft Jet has its own language text strings.
And I also noticed you forgot to edit the DLL file location.
It's better to use a number, such as %11% = System32.

This is my file in Server 2003.

I see your point about the text strings in the INF file not being translated.  For instance the line

"Export data from the current database into a Lotus 1-2-3 version 2 file.  This process will overwrite data if exported to an existing file."

should be

"Exportar datos de la base de datos activa a un archivo de Lotus 1-2-3 versión 2. Si el archivo de destino ya existe, este proceso sobrescribirá los datos."

Also the line

HKLM,"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Jet\4.0\Engines\Xbase","win32",0x0,"D:\WINDOWS\system32\msxbde40.dll"

should be

HKLM,"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Jet\4.0\Engines\Xbase","win32",0x0,"%11%\msxbde40.dll"

The text string error occured because I reused the 5erPOSUp.inf file from my original English build of the POSReady update pack, rather than rebuild it anew by installing each Microsoft Spanish update and logging the changes.  Because I use the entries from logs of the changes made by the update installers the path error was included in my 5erPOSUp.inf file. 

Thanks for pointing this out.  I shall make the required revisions to 5erPOSUp.inf and reupload my Spanish POSReady update pack.

Edit: I have also attempted to translate the {Strings] section into Spanish as best I can using Google Translate.

Any service pack past SP3 can't be official.

I know there is no official SP4

I just wanted to know if M$ ever created an official list with all updates post EOL 2008 and removed the superseded ones.

I highly doubt it, I did a search, no such info, sorry.

As far as I know Microsoft has not published a comprehensive list of updates for their EOL operating systems.  I obtained the list provided in "What is included in XPSP3_QFE_UpdatePack_20210829.rtf" using the Windows Update Powershell modules to query Windows Update for outstanding updates.  I used version 1.5.2.2 with Powershell 2.0.  I also experimented with Windows Update MiniTool version 20.12.2016.  Of course, neither is any good now that the XP update servers have been decommissioned, but it may be possible to modify them to work with the Legacy Windows Update website.  You could always use the SHA1 version of WSUSSCNT2, but it will not work with POSReady 2009.

I have uploaded an XP compatible WSUSSCNT2 here:

I have compared your list of updates to the updates brought by https://legacyupdate.net/ method and it doesn't match, there are missing updates in either lists.
