Downloading UI translations for offline use
Microsoft Language Portal features an online search that displays results from our terminology databases that contain terms, their definitions, and their translations. In addition to the terminology database, the portal also contains UI translations from released products.
With an MSDN or TechNet subscription, you can download the UI translations (a.k.a. "UI strings") in CSV format. These now include Windows 7 translations. The content of these files is identical to what you will find in the online search on the Language Portal, but the UI strings in CSV format can be useful for offline searches.

On the MSDN and TechNet site, the files containing the translations are located in the “Tools and Resources” section, “Translation Glossaries”. Each language download is a Zip file containing multiple individual products.
