Office 2019 Pro plus default display language

Hello to all,

I have built an xml for installing Office 2019 Pro plus.

I only need to install 2 languages: Hebrew, English.

My goal is to have Hebrew as a default display language to all apps, but its seems that what ever I do, English is chosen every time :(

I have read that if Hebrew will appear first on the list, it will be the default display language.

Any idea why it behaves like that?

  <Add OfficeClientEdition="64" Channel="PerpetualVL2019">

      <Language ID="he-il" />
      <Language ID="en-us" />

      <Language ID="en-us" />
    </Product>

    @Amir Atary

    I did the test based on your xml and reproduced your issue that English is the default display language.

    As a workaround, you could use Group Policy to enforce language settings.
    After setting, you could press win+R, type gpupdate to update Group Policy settings.
