Note: The English MUI pack for Windows 7 can be obtained from Windows Update directly.

Switching already installed MUI packs

This is the German Region and Language (Region und Sprache) dialog. Here you can switch between installed display languages:

If you want to remove the MUI pack

Please note, removing the language pack should not be required to be able to switch to the English language. However, if you want to remove the pack, this is how:

  1. Open the Region and Language control panel and click Install/uninstall languages...
