Can I use a german product key on an English CD?

I have bought MS mac 2008 in Austria so the UI is in German however I would like it in English. I understand that it cannot be changed but I was wondering whether if I borrowed a friend's English installation CD, would my german product key work? or is the product key specific to the language?

If this doesn't work, could you tell me if the 2008 version is really worth it (I have the 2004 version installed).. I only have basic german and may not understand all the menus and dialog boxes.

Thanks for your help!

It is my understanding that this should work without any problem. Make
sure you use the uninstaller to properly remove all traces of the
install in German to avoid any conflict.
