The Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 RTM has been finalized and signed off by Microsoft. With each new major version revision of Windows Server 2008 R2, the MUI (Multilingual User Interface) language packs has to be updated too. MUI language packs (Windows Server Language Packs) enable a multilingual user interface in a Windows Server 2008 R2 environment.

Language packs are normally available for download via Windows Update. Microsoft does release standalone update packages in .cab cabinet files format in the form of DVD ISO image, typically to volume licensing customers, MSDN or TechNet subscribers and OEM partners, which can be used for offline installation or slipstream into ISO image. Adding one or more language packs to a Windows Server 2008 R2 image enables one or more languages in the installed Windows Server operating system, allowing corporations to deploy the same Windows Server 2008 R2 image worldwide while still providing localized user interfaces.

As Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 is not officially launched yet, the language packs for Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 is not yet available in Windows Update. But the Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 MUI language packs have also been leaked, and available for free download via BitTorrent (BT) network and various file hosting services.
