There is a difference between the Multilingual User-Interface (MUI) and the LIP. In case of MUI all the strings are localized into the language. Whereas in case of LIP, only 20% of the UI (menu commands) elements which are used 80% of the time are translated. LIP for Microsoft Office 2003 have been released in these languages so far -Kannada, Tamil, Telugu, Gujarati, Marathi and Punjabi. You will be tempted to ask the question "what about Hindi LIP?". The answer is that there is no LIP for Hindi. Instead, there is a full-fledged Hindi Office 2003 available. If you install Office 2003 English and Hindi versions, you can toggle between the two versions, without re-booting.

Just now I took a second look at the [http://support.microsoft.com/kb/906338/|Microsoft web-site mentioned in my blog] above. For my pleasant surprise, I did not find the paragaraph quoted by me. They have removed the paragraph and corrected the goof up.
