7/8/2014

Review the applicable Embedded Core modules and any examples for the UILanguage setting in Windows Embedded 8 Standard (Standard 8).

This setting contains the ISO language-region identifier that specifies the default system language to display user interface (UI) items, such as menus, dialog boxes, and help files.

This value is not case sensitive.

Unless otherwise specified, enter values in the format language-region, where language is an ISO-639 language code and region is an ISO 3166-1 country or region identifier (for example, en-US, fr-FR, or es-ES). If this setting is empty, the default value is en-US. For valid language codes, see InputLocale.

When you upgrade a deployed device, this setting is ignored because you can upgrade only from the same language.

Modules

The following table shows the modules that you can apply this setting to. In Image Configuration Editor (ICE), you can follow the corresponding path to set this setting for a module.
