More Information

As more language packs are installed in the Windows operating system, you should expect the service pack installation time to increase proportionately. It is not unexpected for a Windows Service Pack installation to take between 6-10 hours with all 36 language packs installed.

Microsoft recommends that you only install the language packs that are actually needed for each specific operating system installation.
