The following tables show the supported language packs and language interface packs (LIPs) available with Windows® 7 and Windows Server® 2008 R2.

Corporations and end users can download LIPs from the Microsoft.com website and add them to any genuine copy of Windows that has the supported parent language installed. For more information or to download a LIP or language pack, see Download languages for Windows.
