od3n — Mon, 23 Mar 2009 07:07:48 +0000

Concomitantly with the general availability of Internet Explorer 8 RTW, Microsoft also released to web the IE8 Language Packs. Fact is that the gold version of IE8 RTW is currently available for download in no less than 25 languages, but the software giant has taken it one step further. In addition to the fully localized languages of IE8, the Redmond company is also offering users worldwide the possibility to translate the graphical user interface of IE7′s successor.

“The Internet Explorer 8 Language Packs install language specific resource files, allowing users to view the user interface (UI) of Internet Explorer 8 in a different supported language,” Microsoft informed. Currently users of the following languages will be able to take advantage of the IE8 RTW Language Packs: Arabic, Chinese (Traditional), Chinese (Simplified), Chinese (Hong Kong), Czech, Danish, Dutch, Finnish, French, German, Greek, Hebrew, Hungarian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese (Portugal), Portuguese (Brazil), Russian, Spanish, Swedish, Turkish.

The individual language packs are available exclusively for Windows Vista RTM/SP1 and Windows Server 2008. This because users will need to deploy the language packs on top of IE8 RTW running on Vista and Windows Server 2008, but only if the operating system already has matching OS language pack installed. The software giant is offering no less than 50 downloads, as all Language Packs are offered for both the 32-bit and the 64-bit flavors of the Windows client and server platforms.
