As an example, if you want to download an .iso file of a French language version of Office 2010 SP1 Pro Vl, you will need to do the followings.
- Download a full-size English .iso file
- Download a small-size French .svf file
- Put English .iso and French svf file and tool [SVF-extractor](https://www.softpedia.com/get/System/Back-Up-and-Recovery/SVF-eXtractor.shtml) into a folder all together.
- Then use the extract option in the tool, and it will generate an original French language full .iso file.
- We can use [file hashing method](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_verification) to verify if a file is tempered or not.
- But we must first know the actual checksum of the file.
- Microsoft does not publish checksums list on public links for their files, however it's available to paid subscribers of [MVS](https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/subscriptions/).
- There are many places where we can find the checksums for Microsoft files and compare it with our files with tools like [OpenHashTab](https://github.com/namazso/OpenHashTab/releases). Below is a list of sites containing checksums.
