    Hi,

    You will need to download the Windows 10 Language Packs ISO file from your Microsoft VLSC.

    The basic language-focused FoDs you could refer to are the following:

    Microsoft-Windows-LanguageFeatures-Basic-*
    Microsoft-Windows-LanguageFeatures-Handwriting-*
    Microsoft-Windows-LanguageFeatures-OCR-*
    Microsoft-Windows-LanguageFeatures-Speech-*
    Microsoft-Windows-LanguageFeatures-TextToSpeech-*

    The language packages can be installed using DISM.exe:

    dism.exe /Online /Add-Package /PackagePath:<path to cabfile>

    Each of the language packages in FOD disk has an IETF code that designates the country.

    Microsoft-Windows-LanguageFeatures-Basic-fr-fr-Package_....cab is French, France
    Microsoft-Windows-LanguageFeatures-Basic-fr-ca-Package
    ....cab is French, Canadian
    Microsoft-Windows-LanguageFeatures-Basic-zh-tw-Package
    ..._.cab is Chinese Taiwan, Traditional Chinese
