UILanguage specifies the language that is used to display menu items in Windows® Setup and Windows Deployment Services.

In addition to this UILanguage setting, a UILanguage setting is used to specify the default user interface (UI) language of the Windows installation.

Values

UI_language

Indicates the language of the user interface to use during Windows Setup or Windows Deployment Services.

The UI_language string is based on the language-tagging conventions of RFC 3066. The pattern language-region is used, where language is a language code and region is a country or region identifier (for example, en-US, fr-FR, or es-ES).

This value is not case-sensitive.

For a list of supported languages, locales, and identifiers, see Available Language Packs.

This string type does not support empty elements. Do not create an empty value for this setting.
