Multilingual User Interface

Multilingual User Interface (MUI) is the name of a Microsoft technology for Microsoft Windows, Microsoft Office and other applications that allows for the installation of multiple interface languages on a single system. On a system with MUI, each user would be able to select their own preferred display language. MUI technology was introduced with Windows 2000 and has been used in every release since (up to Windows 8). The MUI technology is covered by an international patent titled "Multilingual User Interface for an Operating System" (US Patent number: 6252589). The inventors are Bjorn C. Rettig, Edward S. Miller, Gregory Wilson, and Shan Xu.

Functionally, MUI packs for a certain product perform the same task as localized versions of those product, but with some key technical differences. While both localized versions of software and MUI versions display menus and dialogs in the targeted language, only localized versions have translated file and folder names. A localized version of Windows translates the base operating system, as well as all included programs, including file and folder names, objects names, strings in registry, and any other internal strings used by Windows into a particular language. Localized versions of Windows support upgrading from a previous localized version and user interface resources are completely localized, which is not the case for MUI versions of a product. MUI versions of a product do not contain translated administrative functions such as registry entries and items in Microsoft Management Console. The advantage of using MUIs over localized versions is each user on a computer could use a different language MUI without requiring different versions of software installed and dealing with the conflicts that could arise as a result. For example, using MUI technology, any version of Windows can host Windows applications in any other language.

    I Know You Now

    by: 4him

    I looked at faith
    I almost walked away
    But I looked again
    I found the nerve to close my eyes and say the words
    To ask you in
    And I heard no heavenly choir
    No angels in whit attire
    i got no amazing super hum omnipresent pow but....
    CHORUS
    I know You now
    I know You now
    I know You're in my heart
    I know You now
    Beyond the shadow of a doubt
    I know You now
    I look at peace, that once was out of reach
    And now it's here
    i read Your word that some believe is so absurd
    But I hold dear, yea
    'Cause You loved me with your dying breath
    You saved me when You conquered death
