[22h2] Anyone got any instructions for adding a language to some of our desktops using GPO

I've been asked to add the Ukranian language to some of our windows 10 computers.

 

Anyone got some instructions for doing this remotely using a GPO?

 

Thanks.

The question is, do you have any Ukrainian language keyboards? You'll need some Cyrillic alphabet inputs I think.

 

I've done this for Russian before using a PowerShell script per user, see below, just swap "ru" for whatever the Ukranian is.

 

$UserLanguageList = New-WinUserLanguageList -Language "en-GB,en-US,ru"
Set-WinUserLanguageList -LanguageList $UserLanguageList -Force

 

To only apply this to computers with a relevant keyboard, I used 'Configure user Group Policy loopback processing mode' and applied a policy with the user login script to those computers only.

Hi,

 

We have installed a Ukrainian language pack on a W10 machine, only needs to be on one computer. I can then press Windows Key and Space which allows me to toggle between installed languages. On the logon screen the Ukrainian language shows as an option but when a student logs into that machine, the language doesn't appear in the list and also doesn't appear in Settings > Language. Is there a way that a language can be installed for all users?

 

Thanks

I'm pretty sure this has to be done per user, as per my script above. IIRC, I looked at various methods at the time, and none would install neatly per computer and then be automatically available to the user after login.

Thank you for getting back to me, will give the PowerShell script a go.
