InputLocale (Standard 7 Package Reference)
7/8/2014
InputLocale
specifies the input language and the input method for input devices, such as the keyboard layout. 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).
There can be multiple input locales installed, and the user can switch between input locales. Users can add and remove input locales through the Languages tab of the Regional and Language Options Control Panel.
Note
This setting can be applied only during the windowsPE configuration pass. To specify language and locale settings during the oobeSystem or specialize configuration pass, see the InputLocale setting in the International-Core component.
For a list of supported languages, locales, and identifiers, see Language Packages.
Note
This setting is required for all unattended installations. To prevent the Windows Setup user interface (UI) from displaying, you must configure this setting. For a complete list of required settings, see Configure an Answer File to Be Unattended.
