Installing Multilingual Internet Access
You can only install Multilingual Internet Access on Mac OS 8.5. You may add Multilingual Internet Access to a clean install by clicking Customize in the Mac OS 8.5 installer and selecting the desired options, or you may add Multilingual Internet Access to an existing Mac OS 8.5 system.
The Customized Installation option for Multilingual Internet Access offers five more language packages than the Recommended Installation option, and you may install the language packages of your choice. However, you will not be offered a language package that is the same as the primary language of your Mac OS system.
Recommended Installation - The Recommended Installation will install the software needed to display text in Japanese, Korean, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese.
Customized Removal - The Customized Removal allows you to remove language support individually. For the language support you wish to remove, it deletes the related fonts from the Fonts folder. However, it will not remove WorldScript I or WorldScript II, nor will it remove script resources. If you use applications that are not compatible with WorldScript, you might want to temporarily disable the WorldScript extensions by using Extensions Manager or by manually removing them from the Extensions folder and restarting your computer.
