Microsoft Language Interface Pack (LIP) is a localized "skin" for emerging or minority language markets, such as Catalan, Lithuanian, Tamil and Thai. Based on MUI technology, LIP provides the desktop user with an approximately 80% localized user experience by translating a reduced set of user interface elements. LIP is installed on a licensed copy of Microsoft Windows or Office and a fixed base language.

Microsoft has released two LIP (Language Interface Packs) namely

  1. Windows Language Interface Pack
  2. Office Language Interface Pack
