    We know that in Windows, language "packs" are only possible to install on ENG version of Windows. Anything else then ENG is not possible. We also know that serial key for German windows works with English version.

    But how is that with Tiger? I've heard that in Germany, the Tiger is in German. Is there a way to install language "pack" on it or?

    So the "problem" is...I have OS X in Germand and would like to get it in English in a legal way...are there labels with licence key on the bottom of MAC?

    This is good news :)

    But what about the primary languange, is it possible to change it to English once the system was installed on German?

    Or ... you said it is possible to select an instalation language when booting up the system first time, let's say a powermac? So basicly OSX in multilanguage?

    Click on the flag in the right hand menu bar (or System Preferences in the Dock) then click on 'Open international' and select the languages tab. If you installed all the languages you can drag them into the order you want them to be used in menu bars, dialogues etc.

    This may give you what you want
