Major Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 Which language do you want to add? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mazin Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 The LANG folder has already included other langs. Or you mean the GUI? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hamed Posted September 7, 2006 Author Share Posted September 7, 2006 Yes, I mean GUI . and the language is Arabic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ctrl-X Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 You probably won't be able to slipstream it, but it can be installed unattended. This document should get you started: Configuring and Using International Features of Windows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mazin Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 The link provided by Ctrl-X should help you correctly.Also, if you search this forum, you should find many topics covering this point.However, and by experiment, adding an Arabic MUI into English Windows XP does not help at all. (I hate it!)Better yet, get Windows XP Arabic, instead. (You'll love it!)However, I like and am familiar with English UIs because I always learned in English.HTH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ctrl-X Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 You'll have to build your own unattended Windows CD. How to do that is described *here*. I don't think there's an easier tutorial than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AK47 Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 hamed I think I can help you with this. first you got to have all the file of the MUIARABIC copied to the folder C:\xp\$OME$\$1\install\applicationsthen make the following changes to the answer file WINNT.SIF [RegionalSettings] LanguageGroup=13 SystemLocale=0401 UserLocale=0401 InputLocale=0409:00000409,0401:00000401 Then put the following command in the main_batch ECHO. ECHO Installing MUI ECHO Please wait... start /wait %systemdrive%installApplicationsMUIARABICmuisetup.exe -i 0401 -d 0401 -r -s ---------------------------------------This has worked fine with me. but I had a small problem which I'm still searching for a solution (maybe someone here will help in this)After everything is install and I go and change the language to Arabic everything changes to Arabic except for the desktop item they remain in English.I tried this method after slipstreaming all the hot fixes but when I tried it again without slipstreaming the hot fixes it worked 100% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
