Windows Vista Ultimate 64 –bit computer system.

My primary language is English.

I have 34 Language Packs, extra-optional, updates, dated April 22,
2008, waiting my okay to install.

My immediate question, what are the correct procedures for selecting
and deleting these additional language packs?

During April when I selected these additional Windows Vista Language
Packs, I was thinking that my system would need them when and if I
were to visit a foreign language site. I suppose the logic was
something on the order, that while on a foreign language page the
system would translate the page into English using one or more of
these language packs. Okay, I like to dream and I hold great
expectation as to how my computer is to assist me. I have since
gathered from the knowledgeable people on this board that unless I
have a need to re-map my English keyboard, I do not needed to maintain
any other language keyboard packs on my system.

If I hid the optional extra updates, do I regain the disk space that
these Language Packs currently are holding?
Thank you for sharing your time and your professional computer
experiences to assist me in resolving this personal matter,

G. Kennedy
 
RE: How do I correctly delete extra Language Packs?

Hi,
This KB from Microsoft:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/925471
covers in detail the installation and uninstallation process.
You will be interested in reading the paragraph "How to remove a language
pack" which I quote:

"1. Click Start, and then click Control Panel.
2. In Control Panel, click Clock, Language, and Region, click Regional and
Language Options, and then click Change display language.
3. On the Keyboard and Languages tab, click Install/uninstall languages
under Display language. If you are prompted for an administrator password or
for confirmation, type the password, or click Continue.
4. In Choose to install or remove languages, click Remove languages.
5. Under Select the languages that you want to remove, select the language
that you want to remove, and then click Next.
6. Click the language that you want to remove, and then click Remove."
