Windows XP in Welsh

edited January 2004 in Science & Tech
Thanks in part to the persuasive power of one Welsh family, Microsoft has said it will work in partnership with the Welsh Language Board to produce Welsh interfaces for Windows XP and Office.

[blockquote]In the late 1990s pressure from language campaigners led to Microsoft accepting features such as a Welsh spellchecker. But that left users of the world's most widespread operating systems, such as Microsoft Windows XP and MS Office, having to use English to command the computer and interpret messages.
