UserLocale
UserLocale specifies the per-user settings used for formatting dates, times, currency, and numbers in a Windows installation.
Users can change this value on a running Windows installation, by using Regional and Language Options in Control Panel.
Note
This setting can only be applied during the specialize and oobeSystem configuration passes. To specify language and locale settings during the windowsPE pass, see the UserLocale setting in the Microsoft-Windows-International-Core-WinPE component.
For the list of supported languages, locales, and identifiers, see Supported Language Packs and Default Settings.
If this value is configured in the oobeSystem configuration pass, the Language Selection page of Windows Welcome will be skipped.
