Program  The Microsoft Local Language Program provides people
access to technology in a familiar language while respecting
linguistic and cultural distinctions. The program aims to
empower individuals in local communities to create economic
opportunities, build IT skills, enhance education outcomes, and
sustain their local language and culture.  Language Interface
Packs (LIP)s  The most commonly used features within specific
Microsoft products and operating systems have been localized to
a language interface through a LIP. Downloaded free of charge,
each LIP enables you to install a local language version as a
"skin" on top of an existing installation of the Windows
operating system and standard Microsoft Office system
applications. This gives you the unique ability to use the
technology in a language that is familiar and that honors your
linguistic and cultural distinctions.  A Real Spark of Change
