    what  I mean is what we see in windows is localized i.e seen in Hindi/Telugu or some local language.and we should be able to type in our language in all applications like notepad,word even in file names.

    Yeah Windows/Linux requires localization...

    The dialog boxes and menu commands you see might differ from those described in Help depending on your active settings or edition. To change your settings, choose Import and Export Settings on the Tools menu

     

    If you plan on distributing your application to an international audience, there are a number of things you'll need to keep in mind during the design and development phases. Even if you don't have such plans, a small effort up front can make things considerably easier should your plans change in future versions of your application.
