Windows 2000 installs with the Western Europe and United States language group. Installing the Western Europe and United States is not optional, and this default cannot be removed. 3 C) c1 F" ?( Q; s- W1 _1 {* o2 U( o: `3 |( U9 t' t! P
For each localized version the language group needed to display the system's UI language is also default and can't be removed. If the English version of Windows 2000 is installed in a non-English country, the user will typically install another language group. 3 E- ?& L& T8 g, T$ Q# X, M9 _

When a person adds a language group Windows 2000 copies (but does not activate) the necessary keyboard files, Input Method Editors (IMEs), TrueType Font files, bitmap font files, and National Language Support (.nls) files. Adding a language group also adds registry values for Font Linking and installs scripting engines for Complex Script languages (Arabic, Hebrew, Indic, and Thai).2 J/ w9 V$ N0 H8 C3 _, R9 F
) w Z5 X5 c& RIn addition to Western Europe and United States (default) there are sixteen language groups: Arabic, Armenian, Baltic, Central Europe, Cyrillic, Georgian, Greek, Hebrew, Indic, Japanese, Korean, Simplified Chinese, Thai, Traditional Chinese, Turkish, and Vietnamese. Any number and combination of language groups can be installed on any Windows 2000 version. ; C5 p' Z# A7 w: T% D * N2 O+ B$ u& B i4 IExample: A Spanish user is a translator for Russian. In order to type Russian texts he needs to install the Cyrillic language group. Note: The application, which is used to type the Russian documents needs to support this. Adding the appropriate language group will not automatically enable all application to accept text. If in doubt, try it out. Some legacy applications might require the system locale to be changed. $ X$ V3 q8 Z& t& |5 V" x( Q
1 p" N' ]( ^$ B, MIn Windows XP, Microsoft introduced Language Collections, which consolidate languages with similar properties into 3 collections that contains 3 or more language groups each. This is done to simplify installation, and improve user experience when working with multiple languages. On English Windows XP support for all European languages (including Baltic languages, Cyrillic languages, Greek, and Turkic languages) known as the Basic Language Collection is installed by default. Additional language collections (such as East Asian for Japanese, Chinese, and Korean, as well as complex scripts for Arabic, Hebrew, the Indic family of languages, and Thai) can also be installed. (After installing a language group or collection, the user will need to restart the computer.) - l q# w& j! @; r5 G $ n0 l7 _& @9 j6 E$ O9 S/ ]' MTop of page6 |% A: Q- z' p0 O H' ]0 w

Top of page # w* }5 X+ R' I0 k: KSystem Locale 8 T) \( @4 X5 K5 HThe system locale is not really a locale. It determines which codepages (ANSI, DOS, and Macintosh) are used on the system by efault. Changing the system locale also installs the necessary bitmap font files to support legacy applications in the language you selected. . {' ^) w. V( s6 {

As the name suggest, it's a per system setting. It requires a reboot to change. You can only select a system locale, if the appropriate language group is installed, i.e., you need the script support to select a system locale. ( U9 D* j: y/ m$ V- `' d& h2 F! ^, `, a* H& Y
Some times there is no noticeable difference between two system locales.For example, there is no difference between the German Standard and German - Austria system locale. In general system locales of one language group are very similar and might be only different in the OEM or MAC codepage. 2 R3 M/ j# K; Y5 j; ~( k

If it weren't be so long the system locale should be called legacy applications compatibility setting, because that is really what it is. Setting the system locale to a certain language instructs Windows 2000 to emulate a legacy operating system (DOS, Windows 3.1, and Windows 9x) localized to this language. Only applications, which are not fully Unicode, are affected by this setting. ; Y8 {' P) n* `" {5 J% t! j, U3 }" b: b9 c* w" X
An ANSI application should check the system locale at least during installation. ; ]/ V# G. z C$ N5 B

Top of page & r! B6 Z* d9 x. W$ YUser Locale 7 T5 S: w. j% vThe user locale determines, which default settings a user wants to use for formatting dates, times, currency, and large numbers. Although it's presented as a language (some in a combination with a country), it's not a language setting. That is, user locale Hebrew means that the user wants to use the standards of Israel, not really of the Hebrew language. The only language effect of the user locale is the names of the days and months. For example, if a person was using the long date format to display November 25, 1998,the November string would change based on user locale. ! g: k9 W( k* W' u( f# H: w! h3 S& z; W# q: X3 ~" C
Changing the user locale, will automatically add an Input Locale with the default settings for the associated language. . A$ O$ ~/ W# m9 A+ e9 c5 t; y- K8 F! `. r; ?9 s
An application should use these settings to present data to the user (and most applications do this), but in some cases it might make sense for an application to use a fixed locale for display of data. This can be done by setting the Thread Locale to a fixed value during initialization of the application. T" f( \8 p+ v; W' L9 u" F9 @0 I. G% O+ j4 X# K) a
Example: An English user using English Windows 2000 works in Rome, Italy. The user selects Italian (Italy) as user locale, because he wants to use the formatting standards for Italy in his day-to-day work. - N- U1 H. p8 G" o3 r Y0 R( s 0 ]5 T$ j! e" PTop of page # V5 m2 @: B! tThread Locale ; L- }7 k- w" S6 k' q( p2 hThe thread locale defaults to the user locale and determines the formatting dates, times, currency, and large numbers for the thread.

Input Locale ; u0 j2 @7 i g* T" fThe input locale describes a language a user wants to input (not necessarily type) and the method of input.

Geographic ID ( t0 j6 B! }2 y, mThis variable is available in Windows XP (and was also available in Microsoft Windows Millennium Edition [Windows Me] though not in Windows 2000) to define the country or location where the user lives. Each user can change this variable on the fly by selecting changes from the Regional Options tab of the Regional And Language Options property sheet. Any changes made are also applied on the fly. By selecting a particular location, the user has set a variable that a Web service (such as one that deals with weather) can check, thus allowing the Web service to deliver information and services specific to the region or country the user has selected.

In this document legacy application is used to describe applications, which are not completely Unicode. If you are not sure if an application is completely Unicode, it most likely isn't. Virtually all applications designed for Windows 3.1, Windows 95, and Windows 98 are not Unicode (the exception here is Office 2000). 3 Y( ]! f' s- e8 n5 Z, a3 t1 Z
