XP and languages....

Right simple one:

Is there anyway that I can install XP Home or Pro in English and then convert the O/S into another language, in this case spanish?

I realise the answeris probably no but I was hoping there would be a 3rd party way of doing this.

Pretty sure you can change everything you need in the Regional and Language options in control panel, though to be fair I've yet to deal with environments hosting Windows in other languages.

I thought that didn't change everything properly. I mean things like the login and system, messages were still in english.

Are you sure the default system locale was changed? (The advanced tab iirc).

I've not tried it yet to be honest..... was looking into it beforejumping in and converting XP to spanish for someone.
