Office 2010beta Windows 7 - MUI’s and LIP’s (Language Packs)

Planning MUI Deployments for Windows 7 on the MS Office Websit and Windows 7 Website says

Planning for Multilingual User Interface Deployments for Windows 7
Multilingual User Interface Pack (MUI) and Office Language Interface Pack (LIP) for Windows XP &

Vista are included in the English-language service packs.

But they are not in included nor will they work on Window 7 (Home Premium) they will work on

other Versions of WIN 7. Since I am a translator by trade and use about 8 versions of Chinese I

need these MUI’s there is one very limited LIP that will work but Chinese or even Spanish are

not available. For (Home Premium)
If anyone has a work around without me having to go buy Enterprise or Server version of WIN 7 I

would appreciate it. I am Also running Office 2010beta that supports all of the current MUI’s &

LIP’s out there

I haven't resolved this for yet as I am waiting to hear from the foks at froggie - their program would be excellent my chinese wife as the entire sytem could be switched to Chinese but I only need it to work in MS Office I think I can do it with their program but I don't want to go there until I get more info. I am also in touch with Best Buy where I bought the computer and got the free Win 7 upgrade if they'll trade for the Enterprise or Pro version upgrade from the Home Premium version - Also have to contact Toshiba and see if this laptop will need any new software or firmware to handle the MUI's and LIP's with Win 7 - it worked fine on Vista so I don't think there will be a problem. The computer is only two months old. it's a Toshiba satellite with dual core and 8Gb RAM.
