Available languages for Windows
The following tables show the supported language packs for Windows desktop editions and Windows Server, and supported language interface packs (LIPs) for Windows desktop editions. LIPs are available for Windows desktop releases, but are not available for Windows Server. For more information, see Language packs.
The version of the language, LIP, or Feature on Demand must match the version number. For example, you can neither add a Windows 10 version 1809 LIP to Windows 10 version 1803 image, nor add a Windows Server 2019 language pack to Windows Server 2016.
You cannot add languages to Home Single Language and Home Country Specific editions.
To learn how to add languages to Windows, or where to get them, see Where to get language packs and LIPs.
For a complete list of supported languages and locales, see Locale Identifier Constants and Strings.
Supported Language Packs and Language Interface Packs
The following tables include these settings:
- Language/region- The name of the language that will be displayed in the UI. All Windows language packs are available for Windows Server. In Windows Server 2012 and later the user interface (UI) is localized only for the 18 languages listed in bold.
- Language/region tag- The language identifier based on the language tagging conventions of RFC 3066. This setting is used with the Deployment Image Servicing and Management (DISM) tool, or in an unattended answer file.
- Language/region ID- The hexadecimal representation of the language identifier. This setting is used with the keyboard identifier when specifying an input method using DISM.
- Language/region decimal identifier- The decimal representation of the language identifier. This setting is used in Oobe.xml.
