Windows Embedded POSReady 2009 includes its own Multilingual User Interface Pack that makes it possible to switch the user interface from one language to another. The POSReady MUI supports 33 languages including English, and also supports individual user account language preferences. This enables two users to have different user interface languages when they log on to the same POSReady computer.

The following languages are included in POSReady MUI. Languages in bold require Supplemental Language Support, which can be installed from Control Panel. More information about Supplemental Language Support is included later in this topic.

Installing a MUI Language
