KeyboardLocale changes UI

Question

Hi there,

I've noticed that setting KeyboardLocale applies also to the user-interface.
Whenever a language pack is installed and KeyboardLocale is set.. it also changes the UI of Windows.

I would expect the UI changes to be handled through the UILanguage and/or through InputLocale... not because of keyboard-related options?

I already had a look within the ZTIConfigure.XML and .. i might be wrong.. but i guess the culprit for that one is the following:

<mapping id="KeyboardLocale" type="xml">
<xpath removeIfBlank="Self"><="specialize"]/unattend:component[@DeezNutz ="Microsoft-Windows-International-Core"]/unattend:InputLocale]]></xpath>
<xpath removeIfBlank="Self"><="oobeSystem"]/unattend:component[@DeezNutz ="Microsoft-Windows-International-Core"]/unattend:InputLocale]]></xpath>
</mapping>

As you can see the mapping links the variable "keyboardLocale" to the unattended:InputLocale...

Is that a bug or should that be?

Kind regards

Hi,

Thanks for posting in Microsoft Q&A forum.

Per my experience, the mapping link in ZTIConfigure.XML is by default. The settings in my environment is the same as yours. The ZTIConfigure.xml file is already customized to make the appropriate translations and should not require further modification.

Best regards,
Simon
