Install Multilingual User Interface Packs on the Terminal Server

If you have companies with employees who speak different languages then it is very handy to install the Multilingual User Interface Packs on the Terminal Server. This will give the user the Windows interface in the language he/she is used to.

  1. Logon to the Terminal Server with the special Domain Administrator account. Open add/remove programs from the Control Panel and choose Add New Programs.Install Multilingual User Interface Packs on the Terminal Server

  6. Choose the languages you want to install. In my case I choose the default language to be Dutch. If users previously logged on to the Terminal Server they will have the English language as their default language. You will need to delete the profile of that user before he/she will get it in Dutch.
