# Language Pack Management CSP


The Language Pack Management CSP allows a direct way to provision language packs remotely in Windows 10 and Windows 10 X. A separate CSP exists to allow provisioning of "optional FODs" (Handwriting recognition, Text-to-speech, and so on) associated with a language. MDMs like Intune can use management commands remotely to devices to configure language related settings.

1. Enumerate installed languages with GET command on the "InstalledLanguages" node
 
    **GET./Device/Vendor/MSFT/LanguagePackManagement/InstalledLanguages**
    **GET./Device/Vendor/MSFT/LanguagePackManagement/InstalledLanguages/zh-CN/Providers**
    **GET./Device/Vendor/MSFT/LanguagePackManagement/InstalledLanguages/ja-JP/Providers** 

   The nodes under **InstalledLanguages** are the language tags of the installed languages. The **providers** node under language tag is the bit map representation of either "language pack (feature)" or [LXPs](https://www.microsoft.com/store/collections/localexperiencepacks?cat0=devices&rtc=1). 
    - Indicates the language pack installed is a System Language Pack (non-LXP)
    - Indicates that the LXP is installed.
    - Indicates that both are installed.

2. Install language pack features with the EXECUTE command on the **StartInstall** node of the language. For example, 

    **ADD./Device/Vendor/MSFT/LanguagePackManagement/Install/fr-FR/**
    **EXECUTE./Device/Vendor/MSFT/LanguagePackManagement/Install/fr-FR/StartInstallation**

    The installation is an asynchronous operation. You can query the **Status** node by using the following commands: 

    **GET./Device/Vendor/MSFT/LanguagePackManagement/Install/fr-FR/Status**
    **GET./Device/Vendor/MSFT/LanguagePackManagement/Install/fr-FR/ErrorCode**

    Status: 0 – not started; 1 – in process; 2 – succeeded; 3 – failed. ErrorCode is a HRESULT that could help diagnosis if the installation failed.

    > [!NOTE]
    > If IT admin has NOT set the policy of blocking cleanup of unused language packs, this command will fail.  

3. Delete installed Language with the DELETE command on the installed language tag. The delete command is a fire and forget operation. The deletion will run in background. IT admin can query the installed language later and resend the command if needed.


   **DELETE./Device/Vendor/MSFT/LanguagePackManagement/InstalledLanguages/zh-CN(Delete command)**

4. Get/Set System Preferred UI Language with GET or REPLACE command on the "SystemPreferredUILanguages" Node


   **./Device/Vendor/MSFT/LanguagePackManagement/LanguageSettings/SystemPreferredUILanguages**
