Change Keyboard language overrides keyboard shortcuts with a script

Question

Change Keyboard language overrides keyboard shortcuts with a script

Lescarret, Loic 1

I need to make a PowerShell script to set the 'Keyboard language overrides keyboard shortcuts.' option to French on Teams. Current default value is English, and I would like to change it to French with a script. Could you please help me identifying the PowerShell commands and parameters to change this ?

Hi @Lescarret, Loic

Keyboard language overrides keyboard shortcuts

Do you mean you want to change the default keyboard shortcuts in Microsoft Teams?

Or you want to change the keyboard shortcut's language from English to another?

Based on my understanding, if you just need to change the keyboard language, Teams client give the setting for you to change it. You could refer to the following picture's setting:

According to your question, it is more related to the powershell development question, which is not in our support scope. So I will also add windows-server-powershell and teams-app-dev tag to your thread. Some experts who focus on this question will give you more insights about it.

Hello,
Thank you for your reply.
Is there a registry key that changes when you change the value?

Best Regards,

This might become a question for PowerShell, but the larger question is where is the "keyboard language overrides keyboard shortcuts" setting stored? Is it in one of the JSON files in the user's home directory? Or is it in the Windows registry somewhere?

Hi @Lescarret, Loic ,

I am not aware of an option to change the keyboard layout just for Teams with PowerShell, Sorry.

The "app language" is a client-side (not server) choice. There's no PowerShell cmdlet associated with that configuration setting -- but the setting is stored in a JSON file at the client machine for each user of that machine.

This should show you how to accomplish what you need to do to alter that setting: Automate-Microsoft-Teams-desktop-settings-with-PowerShell

Thank for answer, but what is the option for change the keyboard shortcuts in the json ?
It's the desktop.conf or settings ? because when I change the CurrentWebLanguage in fr-fr nothing is happening

I'm sorry, but I don't know where that particular setting is kept. I did reply to the person that originally answered your question and asked for more specific information. Maybe he'll answer, or maybe not. :-(
