There is a new common quesion I am geting asked these days:

Hi Team,

Is it possible to have English (India) for xp sp3 under Regional and Languages options? Is there a way to achieve this?

However we can this option with windows 7.

Any help is highly appreciated.

Thanks & Regards,

If there were only a way.

There were two features added to Vista, and present in all versions after it:

The actual en-IN locale was added, and
The ability to create custom locales was added.

But for all earlier versions of Windows, or managed code a custom culture will work (though it cannot be installed without extra work by Locale Builder). But it cannot be used by Windows itself.

Not even on XP SP3....
