Using Language Packs

Many foreign sites require a language pack to be installed. I assume that
these are currently stored in a compressed format somewhere in the system. Is
there any disadvantage to installing them?

I know that I still would not understand what is displayed but it would be
interesting and better than random garbage characters.
 
The language packs are not installed on your hard disk. When you arrive at a
web page that requires it, you will be prompted to download the required
language pack.

1. Launch Internet Explorer.

3. In the Search box type: LANGUAGE , and click 'List Topics'.
4. Click on: "Correctly display Web pages encoded in any language".

Also:
