Additional language deployment

[btravers]

Hello,

I'm looking for a way to deploy a language (Japanese ja-jp) to Windows 10 machines using WAPT. Currently, we do it manually and have to disable WAPT's Windows Update feature for it to be downloaded via Windows Update. I can't find the offline installation instructions or the correct KB article for the right version of Windows. If anyone has any suggestions or experience with this, I would appreciate it.

Thank you

Hi Bastien,

You have a very specific need, yet it's 100% legitimate given that you're in New Caledonia with constraints we don't encounter in mainland France.

We received a great contract today, among others, from a private company in Réunion, so the system works really well in the islands too, which is fantastic.

Bastien, you have the Enterprise version with support, so call the office. Your situation is very specific, and we'll find the best compromise together. We'll be most efficient on the phone.

Cheers,

Vincent

Good morning,
If it's just the language bar, here's how we do it with a PowerShell script that runs at login. For example, to add English, Arabic, and Chinese:

Code: Select all

	$LanguageList = Get-WinUserLanguageList
	$LanguageList.Add("ar-SA")
	$LanguageList.Add("en-US")
	$LanguageList.Add("zh-CN")
	Set-WinUserLanguageList $LanguageList -Force

Hello,

thank you. Does this command download language packs if they are not present on the machine, or does it only activate them?

I just found a tip to temporarily disable Wapt's WAP to download to APPX files using the function:

EnsureWUAServRunning():

example with TIS-MREMOTENG.

Thanks to the TranquilIT team.

Good question. I would tend to say that she downloads them, which indeed could be a problem in your case depending on what they will be used for

Okay,

I just checked and the command adds the languages ​​to the options but doesn't download the modules - Basic Typing - Handwriting - Voice.
I'll continue.
Thanks

I also have the impression that it's not downloading everything on my end, but in any case, it works for data entry.




There might be additional options that can be specified in the PowerShell commands.
