Did you buy a Vista laptop (or computer) from abroad and want it to talk to you in your mother language? Officially, language switchover is possible in Vista Ultimate and Enterprise. What about other versions of Windows Vista?
Well, Vistalizator is a handy application that allows you to change display language in Vista editions (other than officially supported Ultimate) – Starter, Home Basic, Home Premium and Business.
It uses official Microsoft language packs. You can install all 35 languages and switch between them easily . It works in 32-bit and 64-bit Vista and is compatible with Vista Service Pack 1
As per documentation, it is User Account Control (UAC) compliant. No file is overwritten or changed during language installation (except for language upgrade after Vista SP1 installation).
To use, download Vistalizator and language packs for your Windows Vista. Unzip Vistalizator (no need to install), open downloaded language pack and go for install. Restart Vista and its all done.
Vistalizator is very useful to change language in Windows Vista’s non-supported version including: Starter, Home Basic, Home Premium and Business. For officially supported versions of Vista Ultimate and Vista Enterprise check this how-to Microsoft article to install display language.
