No multiple-language menus and dialog boxes for Internet Explorer after upgrading Internet Explorer or applying Windows 2000 Service Packs

After you upgrade Internet Explorer to version 5.5, 5.5 Service Pack 1, 5.5 Service Pack 2, or 6, or you install a Microsoft Windows 2000 Service Pack on a computer that is configured to use the MultiLanguage Menus and Dialogs tool for Internet Explorer with a non-English language enabled, some menus and dialog boxes may be displayed in English instead of the non-English language that was enabled previously.

For example, after you upgrade to Internet Explorer 5.5, some menus and dialog boxes in Internet Explorer may be displayed in English instead of the non-English language that was enabled previously, or after you install a Windows 2000 service pack, Microsoft Outlook Express or the Windows address book may be displayed in English instead of the non-English language that was enabled previously.

Note that installing Windows 2000 Service Pack 1 (SP1) causes some menu items in Windows Explorer and Internet Explorer 5.01 to revert to English. For more information, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

You must use the same version of the MultiLanguage Menus and Dialogs tool for Internet Explorer as the version of Internet Explorer you are running, but new versions of the MultiLanguage Menus and Dialogs tool for Internet Explorer are not installed with new versions of Internet Explorer. Windows 2000 service packs also contain the new versions of Outlook Express that requires a newer version of the MultiLanguage Menus and Dialogs tool for Internet Explorer components that is not installed with the service packs.

This behavior is by design.
