    Hi @Imran

    In brief , you need to create a Organization Unit (OU) , then link this OU to the group policy.

    Organizational Units consist of a subset of users, groups, and computers within your domain , which you want to deploy group policy settings to.

    The group policy I searched online for change User Interface Language is here:

    Here are two video clips well explained how to link OU to GPO :

    Hi 92255-lang.jpg

    There is still the same problem as a domain user if add language as input language for the keyboard there is another option coming with it as mentioned in the attached file,user can check that option and after that the language is added to the windows display language..
    I created the Organization Unit (OU) , then link this OU to the group policy as you advised,but it doesn't fix this issue.

    Thanks
