Converting XP to Italian Language

I brought a notebook with Windows XP Home edition for my father-in-law who only speaks Italian. To make it usable for him, do I need to install the Italian Editino of Windows XP, or is there a module I can download to conver the meus etc. to Italian

I am aware of the language preference settings that enable Italian language input from my keyboard, and steer me to Italian-language versions of MS websites. I guess I'm looking for a more thorough conversion

Any ideas, or do I need to buy a new OS?
 
Windows XP is written in specific language versions, therefore one
cannot change it from one language version to another. You'll need
to purchase a "Full Version" of Windows XP in the language version
you desire, reformat your drive and install it "clean".

Or if you have an available empty drive or partition, you can install
another "Full Version" of Windows XP in a different language version
and create a dual-boot configuration.

English, and only english versions, can be converted to any language. But MS only sells the files to volume licensed customers.
