Hi,

I am hoping that someone might know what is going on with these languages.

I have en Instant-Clone pool, running on a golden image built on Windows 10 1809 Enterprise LTSC.

Sometimes the users needs other inputmethods/different languages, so i am running some powershell as the logon, something like this:

$language = Get-WinUserLanguageList
$language.add("fr-FR")
$language.add("zh-CN")
Set-WinUserLanguagelist $language -force

The problem is, that the Chinese language does not appear in the list on the taskbar, but all other languages do??

I had this working at one point, and all of a sudden, it does'nt.

The same powershell works on my own laptop.

As you can see on the below screenshots from the Instant-Clone machine, the language seems to be added, but simply does not show in the list.

I am not able to switch to chinese with shortkeys (left-alt + shift) only the 3 other languages shows.

    Here is the standard procedure given:

    If the Language bar isn't listed in the Toolbars menu, you don't have multiple input languages installed on your computer. You need to add additional languages using Region and Language in Control Panel.
