WLM 8 & Language Packs (MUI)

I'm currently using Windows XP Pro English/MUI with Windows Messenger 5.1.
I've installed some of the language packs for Windows XP as well as Windows
Messenger 5.1.

I've tried to upgrade to Windows Live Messenger 8 but unfortunately I was
unable to find the MUI version of WLM. The same is true for any WLM language
packs.

Is there a MUI version/language packs for WLM? If not, will there ever be a
MUI version/language packs for WLM?

If you go to
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en
you can change the language of the download to be whatever you need it
to be.

I wanted to install some base version of WLM plus additional Language Packs
so that the UI language of WLM is the same as the language choosen in
"Regional and Language Settings" on the Control Panel.

When I switch the language of my user account (or log on with another user
account) the language of WLM should change - quite the same way as Windows
Messenger 5.1, Windows Media Player 11 and soon Windows Internet Explorer 7.

Greetings,

WLM at the moment doesn't support this. There is a Microsoft-wide endeavor to do so however,
so it may in the future.

The next release, Windows Live Messenger 8.1, does not though.
