Speaking of MUI, how come there's no MUI for SP2 ?
Isn't there a risk to break apps run in 'extra' languages if the resources in these languages don't match the ones in the updated (SP2) original language ?

I'm looking forward to reading your explanation.

TIA.

Serge,

Sorry for taking so long on this. You are partially right, if there are no localized strings for new stings in XP SP2, they will not come up in the UI language of choice, but it won't break the application. What it will do is display the new string in English.

Now, to address your question about MUI packs for XP SP2, in fact there are several of them. There is one for Windows Media Player 9 series, one for Movie Maker and one that is a Cumulative Help update for Window XP.

You can get all of these online. A good starting point that has links to all three of these is http://www.microsoft.com/globaldev/reference/relnotes/muixpsp1.mspx#EDAA">http://www.microsoft.com/globaldev/reference/relnotes/muixpsp1.mspx#EDAA.

The URL above is not coming out right. It should be http://www.microsoft.com/globaldev/reference/relnotes/muixpsp1.mspx#EDAA

Dear Dr,

Thanks for your reply.

It's good to know there's a fallback mechanism for strings. I wondered what would happen for other kind of resources such as dialogs and menus. For menus, I assume new items will simply not show up in translated versions.
For dialogs, it might be a somewhat worse since there's likely code tight to new dialog controls. If these controls don't exist in a transalted version, this code might goof more or less badly.

But maybe it's only me...
