HOWTO: Enabling Indian languages in Windows XP
==============================================

1. Goto Control Panel. 

2. Open "Regional and Language Options". 

3. On the "Languages" tab check on "Install files for complex 
script and right-to-left languages (including Thai)". 

4. Click Apply or OK.

This will enable Indian languages. To install the keyboard 
drivers (IMEs) follow these steps:

a) Open the "Regional and Language Options" from Control 
Panel.

b) On the "Languages" tab click on "Details" button.

c) Under "Installed Services" click on "Add" button.

d) Select the language and the IME (Hindi, Kannada, etc.). 
Click OK. Don't close the "Settings" dialog box now.

e) Click on the "Language Bar" button in the same "Settings" 
dialog box.

f) In the "Language Bar Settings" dialog box check on "Show 
the Language bar on the desktop". Click OK.

This will show the IME icon near the system tray. You can 
select the IME language from this icon.

HTH.
