Do you want to change your computer's language into your own native language? With the free Vistalizator app, you can add several different interface languages to any edition of Vista or Windows 7 and easily switch between them.
Download Vistalizator
First download Vistalizator (link below). Then, from the same page, download the language pack of your choice. The language packs are specific for each service pack of Windows, so make sure to choose the correct version and service pack you have installed.
Note: In this test, we used an US English copy of both Windows 7 Home Premium and Windows Vista Home Premium, and it works the same on any edition. The built-in language switching in the Ultimate Editions lets you set a user interface language for each user account, but this will only switch it for all users.
Add a User Interface Language to Windows
Once the downloads are finished, launch the Vistalizator program. You do not need to install it; simply run it and you're ready to go. Click the Add languages button to add a language to Windows.
Select the user interface language pack you downloaded, and click Open.
Depending on the language you selected, it may not automatically update with Windows Update when a service pack is released. If so, you will have to remove the language pack and reinstall the new one for that service pack at that time. Click Ok to continue.
Make sure you've selected the correct language, and click Install language.
Vistalizator will extract and install the language pack. This took around 5 to 10 minutes in our test.
Once the language pack is installed, click Yes to make it the default display language.
Now, you have two languages installed in Windows. You may be prompted to check for updates to the language pack; if so, click Update languages and Vistalizator will automatically check for and install any updates.
When finished, exit Vistalizator to finish switching the language. Click Yes to automatically reboot and apply the changes.
When your computer reboots, it will show your new language, which in our test is Thai. Here's our Windows 7 Home Premium machine with the Thai language pack installed and running.
Vistalizator was originally designed for Windows Vista, and works great with Windows 7 too. The language packs for Vista are larger downloads than their Windows 7 counterparts. Here's our Vista Home Premium in English
And here's how it looks after installing the Simplified Chinese language pack with Vistalizator.
You can even add a right to left language, such as Arabic, to Windows. Simply repeat the steps to add another language pack.
Revert to Your Original Language
If you wish to return to the language that your computer shipped with, or want to switch to another language you've installed, run Vistalizator again. Select the language you wish to use, and click Change language.
When you close Vistalizator, you will again be asked to reboot. Once you've rebooted, you'll see your new (or original) language ready to use. Here's our Windows 7 Home Premium desktop, back in it's original English interface.
Conclusion
With Vistalizator, you can change the interface language to any languages as you like, then you will own a special Windows 7!
