How to install Language packs in windows 7 service pack 1 (sp1) Starter, Home basic, home premium and professional Editions.

Welcome back,
        windows 7 comes with six editions like starter, home basic, home premium, professional, enterprise and ultimate.
Every edition has different features and the ultimate edition includes all features but problem is every one can’t afford ultimate edition.
Today we talk on Multilingual User Interface (MUI) packages.
This feature is available via windows update in enterprise and ultimate editions all other editions are not supported via windows update.
So what to do if you recently purchased a laptop or a desktop pc with Windows 7 in English or any other language and you want to use it with your national language. But unluckily your windows edition is starter, or home basic, home premium which is not directly allowed to install MUI Packs (language packs).
Don’t worry we have a solution named Vistalizator.
Vistalizator is a small utility to install language interface packs in windows vista and seven.
How to use vistalizator,
First of all we need our language pack file which you will download from internet by searching windows 7 sp1 language packs in google or any good search engine or from Microsoft website. (language packs are also available on vistalizator site)


Now you are ready to install by running Vistalizator.
But our topic is to install language interface pack in windows 7 sp1 (service pack 1).

  5. Hello, I tried to install language pack en-us on my coputer 7 professional, which is in german. But during the installtion I saw this error:
    Sorry, the internal installation failed, as this is an experimental feature, success is not guaranteed, you can use express installation instead.

  19. 23.2. 2015 - Hello,

    This is for anyone who has a problem with message showing "Sorry cannot change the language yet" and the program still requires to install Credentials Protection Update (KB2871997) even though you have installed it:
    I have tried to reinstall MUI packages, lots of Windows Updates etc. - nothing helped.

    SOLUTION:
    If you have already installed Credentials Protection Update (KB2871997), go to Windows update, then go to View update history, then click on Installed Updates. Press Ctrl+F (Find) and write KB2871997. You will see the installed update - right click and uninstall it. Then you will restart your computer and vistalizator will work.

    WINDOWS PROFESSIONAL x64 SP1 language change from English to Slovak
