Default Input Locales for Windows Language Packs
Applies To: Windows 8, Windows 8.1, Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows Server 2012, Windows Server 2012 R2
Input locales are pairings of an input language (the language hexadecimal identifier) with an input method (the keyboard hexadecimal identifier). Specifically, an input locale describes the language that is being entered, and how it is being entered. For example, to set the input locale to Vietnamese by using the Deployment Image Servicing and Management (DISM) tool, you would use the value 042A:0000042a, where 042A identifies the language and 0000042a identifies the keyboard. Alternately, you can use the language/culture name to specify an input locale, (for example, vi-VN) and the default keyboard that will be used. For more information about language hexadecimal identifiers and language/culture names, see Available Language Packs for Windows.
The following table lists keyboard hexadecimal and decimal identifiers for keyboards that are available for all default versions of Windows®. You can also install support for additional keyboard types. The valid keyboards that can be configured on your computer are listed in the following registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\Keyboard Layouts
