I am designing a custom keyboard layout for Dotyali language using Microsoft Keyboard Layout Creator 1.4. But while defining a Dotyali as a language for keyboard it does not have any option there and only displays the list of available language in Language list in Region & Language.

The questions here is: how to add keyboard of new language?

    I thought that was the case, but I did a little research to see if you can define a locale code for your new keyboard map. I didn't find anything that said so explicitly, but there are a couple of features that suggest possibilities.

    I found this manual:

    http://www.angelfire.com/planet/linguisticsisfu...

    On page 5 they talk about "Project Properties".

    In there they talk about "Description" and "Language". The language is a drop down, so I assume/guess the list is being picked up from Windows. So for now you have to "borrow" an existing language until one is officially for this "new" (to computing) language. But I am wondering if the "Description" comes into play at all for the the locale code that is generated for this new keyboard.

    Does the tool completely replace an existing default keyboard, or does it create a new locale code? ie if I base a new keyboard on en-CA, does that mean I can no longer use the default en-CA because it has been replaced, or does the tool create a new one based on that. If you can figure out the generated code, with a little luck you could use that code in PowerShelll.

    Hello NirajanPant

    I am Wilfredo an Independent advisor

    The first thing you have to do is enter the Windows 10 Settings menu. To do so, open the start menu, and in the left column, click on the gear button. You can also find the same button if you open the notification panel.

    In the Windows Configuration menu you will see several options. Browse through it, and click on the option Time and language. It has the icon of a clock with two letters. Then you get into Region and Language

    Once you are in the Region and Language menu, in the TOP RIGHT part you will see a link that says

    ADDITIONAL DATE, TIME, & REGIONAL SETTINGS

    When you click on that link you will see a menu with some options about it. In this menu, press LANGUAGE

    Then you will see a window with several options, you will click on

    ADD TO LANGUAGE

    You are going to look for the box that says INGLES

    You click and there you will find different regions with that language including the one you are looking for, which is the UK

    You click on ADD and close that window and you're done

    I hope it helps you
