Note

The above lists the languages that Microsoft Project 2000 is released in as localized versions. This list is different than the available language packs that run on the English version of Microsoft Project 2000.

World Wide Executable vs. Localized Versions

Microsoft Project 2000, like other Microsoft Office 2000 applications, is designed to be a worldwide executable. In other words, Microsoft Project’s core functionality is designed to be language independent. This allows easier development of multiple language versions of the same product and reduces Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) for corporations that deploy multiple language versions of Microsoft Project. It also allows an individual user to create projects using multiple languages and to utilize menus, online help, and proofing tools from any language pack that is applied.
