How can I get Display Language?

I'm trying to download Japanese and read how to do that. The direction says
"under the keyboards and other input language, there's "Display Language" but
somehow I don't have it in my window. It says only if your computer have MUI
or LIP, the Display Language will be visible. What should I do and where
should I go to install LIP or MUI??
 
We are running Vista Enterprise at my office. When I go to windows update, no
language packs are listed and we must have Japanese fonts add to the English
system. Does this mean we have purchased the wrong version of Vista?

Only the Business and Ultimate versions of vista support changing languages.
If you have either of these versions you should find language packs on
Windows Updates.

If you are using Windows Vista Enterprise, contact your
system administrator for information about installing additional
languages. They are not available via Windows Update for
Windows Vista Enterprise edition.

Sad to say, but I am the administrator. I'm doing utility and compatibility
testing for our company. I'm having a problem opeing your hyperlinks, but I
will research MUI for Vista Enterprise. Thanks.
 
I may have phrased my question incorrectly. After researching MUI, I think I
did. I'm not looking to install a Vista system in Japanese. I just want to
add the IME for Japanese to an existing English Vista installation. In XP,
you would go to control panel/regional and language options. I tried that in
Vista but there were no languages listed. It asks for a file that I don't
have. Where do I get that file?
 
You can check the "Windows Vista Multilingual User Interface Step by Step Guide.doc" from the deployment guides for IT
professionals: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...e8-9983-4ab0-9685-f1bfec1e7d62&DisplayLang=en

I found and read that document in my research of MUI. However it refers to a
"Langpacks" folder and language-specific sub-folders for the "Sources"
folder. I do nto have a Langpacks folder and the only language folders under
sources on my DVD is En-US. There must be some way to download the needed
language file to just add JP to my english system.
 
To install a Multilingual User Interface Pack (MUI), follow these steps:

1. Open Regional and Language Options located in the Control Panel.
2. Click the Keyboards and Languages tab.
3. Under Display Language, click Install/uninstall languages, and then follow the steps.

I did that and the very next prompt is for a language file. That is what I
don't know where to get one. There are none on my DVD and the download
center doesn't provide them either. That is why I was wondering if I had the
right version of Enterprise. Could there be an english language version and
a "international" or mulit-language version?

I did figre out the IME installation, That is under change keyboard. IME is
OK for a few of our Japanese enployees but most need the language pack so
they get Japanese menus. I like to keep the operating system in English so
that I can debug problems without needing them to translate.
 
The links you posted are dead. Also you have not answered how to properly
obtain the language packs - please reply with the proper information so we
can get this fixed...
 
I'm having the same problem. Was there any useful resolution or just more of
the same runaround?
