Hi Channabasayya Vibhutimath

On Windows Server 2022, language packs are not distributed through the Microsoft Store like on client editions. They are delivered as Language Features on Demand (FoD) or via Windows Server installation media. To install the English language pack, you need to use either DISM or Settings depending on your current system configuration.

If your server is already running a non‑English build and you want to add English, open an elevated PowerShell or Command Prompt and run:

dism /online /add-capability /CapabilityName:Language.Basic~~~en-US~0.0.1.0

This will pull the English language pack from Windows Update. If your servers are isolated and cannot reach Windows Update, you must download the Language Pack ISO for Windows Server 2022 from the Volume Licensing Service Center (VLSC) or Visual Studio (MSDN) subscription portal. Mount the ISO, then point DISM to the .cab file inside the LanguagesAndOptionalFeatures folder:

dism /online /add-package /packagepath:D:\Languages\en-us\lp.cab

After installation, set the system locale and display language to English through:

Set-WinSystemLocale en-US

Set-WinUILanguageOverride en-US

Set-WinUserLanguageList en-US -Force

Finally, reboot the server to apply the changes. This is the supported and reliable method to add English language capability on Windows Server 2022.

To download the English language pack for Windows Server 2022, you can follow these steps:

1. IT Professionals can access language packs from the Microsoft Next Generation Volume Licensing Site.
2. After installing Windows, you can add languages by navigating to Settings > Time & language > Language > Add a language.
3. If an English language pack is available, select Download and install language pack.
4. After installation, you can set English as your display language.

Ensure that the language pack corresponds to the version of Windows Server you are using, as packs are not interchangeable between different Windows versions.
