InputLocale (microsoft-windows-international-core-winpe-inputlocale)
InputLocale
specifies the input language and the input method for input devices, such as the keyboard layout. This setting is used by Windows Setup and Windows Deployment Services.
The input locale (also called input language) is a per-process setting that describes a language (for example, Greek) and an input method (for example, the keyboard).
Multiple input locales can be installed, and the user can switch between them. Users can add and remove input locales through the Keyboard and Languages tab of the Region and Language Control Panel.
For a list of supported languages, locales, and identifiers, see Supported Language Packs and Default Settings.
