A number of Office 2007 language interface packs are now available for several new languages, including :

· Uzbek (spoken by 20 million people in Uzbekistan)

· Assamese (official language of Assam, in North-East India, spoken by 13 million people)

· Kyrgyz (official language of the Republic of Kyrgyzstan, in Central Asia, spoken by 2 million people)

· Malayalam (one of the 22 official languages of India, spoken by 36 million people, among others in the State of Kerala and around Pondicherry). I once had the opportunity to write about the Microsoft Transliteration Utility, a tool created by our group which enables you to do transliteration between the Roman alphabet and the Malayalam script and vice versa)

Beside the possibility of changing the language of the user interface, these language packs also include a spell-checker.

Malayalam already had a speller in earlier versions of Office. The other three languages did not have any. The dictionaries for these brand-new spell-checkers have been created with the Lexicon Creator, an internal tool I had the opportunity to present in July at the congress of the European Association of Lexicography in Barcelona.
