    I don't think this can be done.

    As another poster said, there's no problem installing SL to an English based Windows installation, but the user will see a wholly spanish spoken application. Changing this behavior would require a complex task, and you will still be facing a Spanglish SL.

    Let's see all the aspects:

    1. Customization layer: the bulk of the Spanish template is done through an SL customization. And up to SL 2011 customization are not culture-based. This covers all the application screen inner captions. Every time you open an application screen, SL reads this customization and replaces all the "Batch number" for "Número Lote". Theoretically, you could setup smart customization groups. One called "spanish-spoken" and one called "english-spoken" so the spanish layer will apply only to the spanish-spoken. You would have to tamper with the Spanish template, maybe export them, change the customization scope to group-based and then re-import them. This would be a hell to maintain.
    2. Messages: validations, warnings and error messages texts are kept on a SQL Table, which is not culture-partitioned. Bad news.
    3. Screen names:   even if you change the inner captions, the screen names themselves are kept on an SQL Table, which is not culture-partitioned. Bad news.
    4. Report layouts: these are kept on a regular client-side file system. This would be easy to change, just setup different set of files on different clients.
    5. Report names: these are kept on a SQL Table, along with the basic report engine options, which is not culture partitioned. Bad news.
    6. Menus: these are kept on a SQL Table, which is not culture-based. But the task of creating different menu layouts for separate groups is pretty simple.

    Do you mean windows language? if so you shouldn't have problems to install Dynamics client.
