How to Download and Install a LIP for Windows Vista
A LIP for Windows Vista is a free download from Microsoft that allows you to change the display language of some parts of the Windows interface, such as menus, dialog boxes, and help topics. A LIP requires a base language installed on your computer, such as English (United States). You can download a LIP for Windows Vista from [this link]. Here are the steps to install a LIP for Windows Vista:
Download the LIP file that matches your base language and the language that you want to install. For example, if your base language is English (United States) and you want to install Bengali (India), download the file named "lip_bn-in.mlc".
Double-click the downloaded file to start the installation wizard. Follow the instructions on the screen to complete the installation.
Restart your computer to apply the changes.
To change the display language to the LIP that you installed, go to Start > Control Panel > Clock, Language, and Region > Change display language. Select the LIP from the list and click OK.
Note that not all parts of the Windows interface will be translated by a LIP. Some parts will still be in the base language. To have a fully translated Windows interface, you need to install a MUI pack.
