Language Interface Packとは 意味・読み方・使い方

In Microsoft terminology, a Language Interface Pack (LIP) is a localized skin for localizing software in emerging or minority language markets, such as Lithuanian, Serbian, Hindi, Marathi, Tamil and Thai. Based on MUI technology, a LIP also requires the software to have a base installed language and provides users with an approximately 80 percent localized user experience by translating a reduced set of user interface elements. Unlike MUI packs which are available only to Microsoft volume license customers and for select SKUs of Windows Vista, a Language Interface Pack is available freely and can be installed on a licensed copy of Microsoft Windows or Office and a fixed base language.
