FI, while the interface for adding new languages using “Install or Uninstall Display Languages” is there, MS changed the distribution method in 2008 R2. The URL i gave earlier allows one to choose the language to install & a .exe is downloaded. Running the .exe adds the language which is then available in the “Keyboards and Languages” tab of “Regional and Language Options”.

Arris: Thanks for your extended explanation of installing a new language in Windows Server 2008 R2. This website also has a R2-alternative at which there is also a page about this: OS Language. Enjoy!

Please add http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyID=03831393-eef7-48a5-a69f-0ce72b883df2&displaylang=en to the list of sites for those (like me) who are trying to install multi-language packs on 2008 server R2.

I spent a day trying to install the different language packs before figuring out that R2 != SP2. In passing I’d like to thank MS for pointing the on-line help to the Windows 7 language packs (useless for 2008 R2), for giving no crosslinks to langage packs for other OSes on the language pack download URLs & for for yet again proving that bing is useless as it cannot even find the right URL on Microsoft’s own site. Thank God for Google!

I find a solution for ws2008 sp2. You need to download language from this location:

Fabio; could be that you downloaded a pack for the 64bit version instead of the 32bit or vice versa.

People, anyone had problem to installing the language pack?

I downloaded my LP “6001.18000.080118-1840_amd64fre_Server_LP_2-KRMSLPX2_DVD.img”, mount with Daemon Tools and select the directory where my language pack (ex.: “F:\langpacks\pt-br”). However, I receive the message:

“No languages packs found”

Anyone had the same problem? I´m using Windows Server 2008 Standard w/ SP1 and activated it too.

Thanks for any help!!!

Arris: Did you take a look at this topic at the forum?

I had trouble mounting the img for swedish language with Daemon Tools.
The mounted virtual disk was corrupt and Windows Server 2008 could only load the Italian pack that is a part of the same img file.
I solved it by burning the img file with Nero onto a DVD. I created a cue file with the following.
————-
FILE “.img” BINARY
TRACK 01 MODE1/2352
INDEX 01 00:00:00
————-

Arris: You are right, thanks! Weird that I never noticed it…

Aah, my bad. Only thing to do is to click that Select folder-button and it recognizes the language file in folder.

Hmm, I tried with virtual PC to install those language packs after installing Server2008 (without crack), but I still have the same problem with it. What would be the problem?

By: Mazz

Mazz — Fri, 06 Jun 2008 07:36:23 +0000

I have same problem as jof has. I downloaded/tried both (x86/x64) language packs and it won’t recognize the languages. Maybe those has to be installed before using crack.

I tink jof has downloaded a wrong img file and tried to install it.
Maybe like trying to install 64bit lp pack on the x86 system.

What if one does not want to change the UI, but simply wants an additional input language? Arris: I can't explain better how to add additional input languages than this article on Microsoft.com!
