Configuring Language Support for Windows XP

This topic is part of About Configuring Language Support for Browser Platforms.

If your end users run Windows XP, complete the following procedures to configure language support on the client machines:

• Install language support for Windows XP
• Add input locales for Windows XP

NOTE:  By default, ToolTips and message boxes should already be properly configured for Windows XP. If they are not, the procedure to configure them is the same as the one for Windows 2000 found in Configuring Language Support for Windows 2000.
