Different language instances on same server

Is it possible to install two different SQL server version
instances, for instance, one in english and the other one
in Spanish, in the same server?
We are having a problem in our central server, with a
especific software which runs correctly only in the SQL
server spanish version.
For sure, all collation and language settings have been
tested in the english version with no result.
Thanks in advanceGustavo,
Yes, given you can even install SQL7 and SQL2000 on the same
server - they don't share much at all !
But there are license issues / costs:
http://www.microsoft.com/sql/howtobuy/faq.asp
"SQL Server 2000 Enterprise Edition includes the ability to run multiple instances of SQL Server 2000 on a
single computer. Multiple instances are used by organizations that have several applications running on a
server, but want them to run in isolation so that any problem in one instance will not affect the other
instances.
With SQL Server 2000 Enterprise Edition, you can install multiple instances of SQL Server on the same computer
without having additional licenses. Although SQL Server 2000 Standard Edition will technically support
multiple instances, each instance requires a separate license. "
