Does SQL Express support upgrade from MSDE2000 Chinese Edition?

I've tried to download the sql express and install, but it doesn't allow me to select upgrade the default instance (which i've installed msde2000 chinese edtion), it told me due to the language problem, sql express can't upgrade the default instance and only could install sql express in new instance.

I have no idea for the language edition for sql express since the download page doesn't have a language selection.

So does anyone know that,
1. would sql express have multi language edtion ?
2. if sql express would have one language edtion, how could install it to upgrade from one existing msde2000 simplified chinese edtion ?Upgrading across languages is not supported. If you want to upgrade your Chinese databases you'll need to wait until the Chinese edition of Express is released. The currently released version of Express is English only.
