GOAL:
What a 'language group' is and where to read more about this and other Globalization terms
FACT(s) (Environment):
Windows
FIX:
A language group is a set of all the keyboard layouts, IMEs, fonts (TrueType or bitmap), font links, code page translation tables needed by the system to support the given group of languages. The list of installed language groups thus controls which user, input and system locales can be selected by a user.
Installation of a language group on Windows 2000 copies (but does not activate) the necessary keyboard files, Input Method Editors (IMEs), TrueType Font files, bitmap font files, and National Language Support (.nls) files to the system. Adding a language group also adds registry values for Font Linking and installs scripting engines for Complex Script languages (Arabic, Hebrew, Indic, and Thai).
