SYMPTOMS
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:
