Sorry, but you are misleading the OP. MUIs are *NOT* available to the general
populace. They are available only to companies with Open or Volume licensing
agreements.

For the average consumer the only way to display the GUI in another language
is to purchase Windows in that language and perform a clean installation or
dual boot.

Have you looked at the "Region & Language" options in the Control Panel - it
appears to let you choose languages for the keyboard but I have not tried
it.
