We are pleased to announce the release of the remaining 19 languages packs for Windows Vista Ultimate. This Ultimate Extras release brings the total number of language packs for use with Windows Vista Multilingual User Interface Pack (MUI) to 35. Windows Vista Ultimate enables users install multiple languages on their system and quickly switch between them by associating a system language with their login name.

MUI is particularly useful in multilingual homes where multiple people use a single computer and choose different languages for their primary use. People who wish to learn a new language will also find MUI to be a particularly useful feature.  We are aware of a very large number of customers who have purchased Ultimate for this feature specifically and are gratified that these customers can now realize the full benefit of Windows Vista Ultimate. 

The languages we are adding today are as follows:

 

Arabic

Bulgarian

Croatian

Czech

Estonian

Greek

Hebrew

Hungarian

Latvian

Lithuanian

Polish

Portuguese (Portugal)

Romanian

Serbian (Latin)

Slovak

Slovenian

Thai

Turkish

Ukrainian

 

In addition to the release of the remaining Language Packs, a component in the language pack installation process called lpksetup.exe has also been updated. This updated component addresses previous issues which some customers have experienced with language pack installations and so it is recommended that you download and install this component first.  The updated lpksetup.exe can be found on Microsoft Download Center at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/942903

While today’s delivery marks the final installment of the Extras announced earlier this year, these are by no means the final set of Extras that we intend to deliver. As I mentioned in my post last month, beyond the Extras shipped to date, we plan to ship a collection of additional Windows Ultimate Extras that we are confident will delight our passionate Windows Vista Ultimate customers.

Given our track record, it would be unwise to provide details of what comes next until I am 100% confident in our ability to deliver.  Please rest assured, though, that our team is working on hard to deliver on our promise to Ultimate customers.  I look forward to announcing the next Ultimate Extra.  Please stay tuned…   

Thanks for your passion, patience and your continued support.

OK, this is strange, all of the language packs are showing as Important Updates in windows update for me.  My Vista Ultimate rig is fed using WSUS, this is weird as they should be optional, surely.

@xpclient, You can try this, Windows Vista लेंग्वेज इंटरफ़ेस पैक (language interface pack) LIP Hindi, I have installed & used it,

Also check this link if any other Indian LIP is available for Vista or not here,

www.microsoft.com/.../find-a-language.aspx

These are Just LIP , not the complete translated software.
