How to localize Windows 7 to your language

- Windows 7 Ultimate or Enterprise can be localize trough Windows update, but what if you have Professional, Home Premium or Home Basic, and want to localize to your (or any other) language?
- You have two choices. Buy another version of Windows or read this tutorial.
- In my case I will use a Croatian locale, but you can replace hr-HR option to your locale (de-DE, fr-FR, hu-HU, ru-RU, sv-SE or any other locale what you have been downloaded in previous step).
- After you download your locale pack from the link above, you need to unpack file to temporary folder. For this step you will need program to unpack. I suggest using WinRar.
1. Create a new folder on your hard disk e.g. C:\LP-HR
2. Extract content from previously downloaded Language pack file in to that folder. (Easiest way is to copy or move your Language file to previously created folder, right click on file, and under WinRar section select "Extract here").

3. Click Start, and in Search type CMD.
4. On search results select cmd with right click and select "Run as administrator"

5. On Command promt type DISM /Online /Add-Package /PackagePath:C:\LP-HR (Replace
C:\LP-HR with your folder name, and wait a few minutes, depends of your computer speed).
6. On Command promt type bcdedit /set {current} locale hr-HR (Replace
hr-HR with your Language set (de-DE, fr-FR, hu-HU, ru-RU, sv-SE ...)).

7. On Command promt type bcdboot %WinDir% /l hr-HR (Also replace
hr-HR with your Language set (de-DE, fr-FR, hu-HU, ru-RU, sv-SE ...)).

8. Click Start, and in Search type regedit.
9. In regedit go to key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\MUI\UILanguages and delete key en-US.

10. Reboot machine.
11. After restart your Windows 7 is localized to language of your choice, and you can delete previously created folder (In my case C:\LP-HR).
