You need to have a multilanguage version of Windows 2000 Professional. The Windows 2000 Professional, MultiLanguage Version gives users a choice of UI in any of the 24 languages in which Windows 2000 is fully localized (Frebnch is included). The Windows 2000 Professional, MultiLanguage Version provides an extra level of multilingual capability by allowing users to change the language of the operating system user interface. This means a user can log on to a workstation and use Windows 2000 Professional in any of 24 languages?provided an administrator has installed the appropriate language files. Additionally, the user will be able to edit and view documents in the hundreds of languages supported in all Windows 2000 Professional versions.
Please refer to the following article to find more about multilanguage conception of Windows 2000:
