Honestly I find Microsoft multi-language support to be pathetic...
I mean seriously, the ability to choose my OS language is an Ultimate
Extra???
That alone shows that multi-language support was added as an
afterthought, not as an integral part of the OS.
The same shows in how XP assumes the user has a US Layout keyboard when
using a Japanese IME with no way to change it other than messing around
with the keyboard driver files.
