I have an english version but have tried to get the french files from the 1.2 retail update. To do that, I have changed the value of the language registry key to french. And I was able to get a french version.
And I wanted to open the XML file with IE. Sadly, it won't work on some files due to the encoding: it is set to UTF-8, which doesn't work from some characters. But not all files have this encoding: those with the windows-1252 encoding where displayed correctly.
