Customizing Your VAIO Computer
Setting Up Your Language with Windows XP Professional
The language mode selection is available on models with Windows XP Professional, but not with Windows XP Home Edition.
Please see the online Specifications to see which Windows edition is installed on your model.
Windows XP Professional computers include the Multilingual User Interface (MUI) feature. It allows you to change the
English operating system, some software applications, and the keyboard layout into the language of your choice: French,
German, Japanese, Dutch, Italian, Spanish, Czech, Finnish, Greek, Portuguese, and Swedish.
It is important that you select the correct keyboard settings during the Windows Setup.

❑ I use this type of keyboard.
3 In the End User License Agreement, accept the License Agreement and click Next.
