Kirill, I was equally amazed and disappointed when I discovered that I was unable to add other languages to the two default languages in Vista Business. But this does seem to be the case. The procedure for adding languages has not been changed from that which obtains in XP, i e :
Control Panel -> National and language settings -> Keyboard and language tab Click «Add» to the right of the box showing the installed services. A new window - «Add input language» - appears. Highlight the language and the keyboard to be added, and click «OK». Unfortunately, in other versions of Vista than Enterprise and Ultimate, including the version - Business - that I have installed, the OK button is grayed out, and languages cannot be added. I am writing this message from my Vista partiton, and have checked the procedure once again, so I am rather certain that this description is correct and accurate. But I should love to be proved wrong !... Henri 2007/6/24, Kirill S. Palagin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
Multilingual User _Interface_ is not _Input_ Metod Editor. Am I corect that you are talking about inputting text in more than two langs? AFAIK, you should be able to add all supported input languags (not just two) irrespective of flavor. If that is not so I would be amazed and disappointed (I do not have Vista handy to test).
