That's not true. Even though you can change the system code page and the
user locale, other aspects of the installation won't change (such as the
language used in the menus, the language of the help files, and so on).

With W2k, Microsoft introduced MUI (multi-lingual user interfaces), so
you could change the language of the menus and help files at run-time,
in a per-user fashion (this was only available to selected customers
for W2k, and is generally available for WXP).

However, there still are separate products for "English Windows XP",
"German Windows XP", and so on. You can install a MUI pack only on
the English version, and an English version + German MUI is different
from the German version: the program files folder is called
"Program Files" in the English version (and doesn't get renamed when
a MUI package is installed), and is called "Programme" in the German
version.
