XP Pro has support for multiple languages, I don't know if
Home has this level of support. Here is the page from the
Pro Help file.
To install East Asian language files on your computer
1.. Open Regional and Language Options in Control Panel.
2.. On the Languages tab, under Supplemental language
support, select the Install files for East Asian languages
check box.
3.. Click OK or Apply.
You will prompted to insert the Windows CD-ROM or point to
a network location where the files are located.
4.. After the files are installed, you must restart your
computer.
Notes
a.. To open Regional and Language Options, click Start,
click Control Panel, and then double-click Regional and
Language Options.
b.. You must be logged on as an administrator or a member
of the Administrators group in order to complete this
procedure. If your computer is connected to a network,
network policy settings might also prevent you from
completing this procedure.
c.. The East Asian languages include Chinese, Japanese,
and Korean. The files for most other languages are installed
on your computer automatically by Windows.
d.. It is recommended that you install these files only if
you are going to be entering or receiving text in one or
more of these languages. The Chinese, Japanese, and Korean
files require about 230 megabytes (MB) of space on your hard
disk. In addition to the language files, Input Method
Editors (IMEs) are installed for each of the three
languages.
e.. After you install the East Asian language files on
your computer's hard disk, you must add the individual
languages for which you want to enter and display text.
After you add a language, the language is loaded into memory
every time you start your computer. For more information,
click Related Topics.
f.. To remove the Chinese, Japanese, and Korean files from
your computer, clear the check box, and then click OK or
Apply.
