Editing Multilingual User Interface (section)

=== Windows Vista ===
[[Windows Vista]] enhanced MUI technology to separate the English resources from the application logic [[binary file]]s. The application logic files are now language-neutral a.k.a. language-independent. In other words, the application logic files are no longer English-centric. This separation allows for changing languages completely without changing the core binaries of Windows, and to have multiple languages installed using the same application logic binaries. Languages are applied as language packs containing the resources required to localize part of or the entire user interface in Windows Vista.

MUI packs are available to [[Windows Vista]] Enterprise users and as an [[Windows Ultimate Extras|Ultimate Extras]] to Windows Vista Ultimate users.

Beginning with Windows Vista, the set of associated MUI APIs are also made available to developers for application development. [This allows anyone to use the MUI technology?]
