Custom Locale Builder Tool Beta Now Available!

[NOTE: 31 July 2007, the tool is available again at its new URL: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=e4588c5e-8f21-45cc-b862-38df8d9bd528&displaylang=en]

The Microsoft Locale Builder Tool Beta 2 is now available for download.  This requires Vista to run.

If you're interested in custom locale data or locales that aren't supported by Microsoft, I'd encourage you to download the tool and take a look at custom locales.  I've previously blogged about custom locales, and its been possible to create your own with Microsoft.Net V2.0, but the Locale Builder tool makes it a lot easier.

Let me know how this tool works for you, and thanks to the Locale Builder team for making it happen!

I’m sorry, but U.S. law doesn’t allow me or Microsoft to help you due to the U.S. Trade Sanctions.

I would dearly love to get the Custom Locale Builder Tool.

I need to build some locales for Ladakh, Bhutan and other Himalayan regions that use Tibetan script but are not part of the People's Republic of China.  (The only Tibetan-script locale that ships in Vista is Tibetan/PRC.)

Would you be so kind as to email me the package at acipny@yahoo.com?

Thanks & best regards,
