No difference from english version. Follow the guide page - http://unattended.msfn.org/xp/space_saving_tips.htm.

You can delete all the files/folders mentioned there, and your arabic language support will still be there. If you thought the "LANG" folder was needed to get Arabic scripts, no you can delete it.

... , and your arabic language support will still be there.

Even if I don't specify it in winnt.sif?

[RegionalSettings]    LanguageGroup=15,1

Is what I use for Indic languages, (with LANG folder deleted). I dunno the number for arabic, but yeah it should work only if you get that language's support installed thru winnt.sif like above.

This saves a lot of space, then. I know Arabic code, thanks.

To avoid misunderstanding: I have the English version of XP, but I want Arabic lang to be supported, not as a UI but to read Arabic docs properly.

Thankyou Guys ,

I Will Try It Soon.

So What All Languages Are There In The "Lang" Folder.

Have you used the English version of XP or the local (Arabic) one?

I am Using Both Arabic And English (I Must Have Arabic) So I Was Little Worried About Removing The "Lang" Folder , I Removed And Took A Try It's Ok Even Arabic All Ok, Now So Now I Can Turn My Iso To CD Finally.

SO My Guess Is The Lang Folder Is Not Very Important For Some Languages"
