UILanguage
UILanguage specifies the default system language to display user interface (UI) items (such as menus, dialog boxes, and help files).
Note
This setting can be applied only during the specialize and oobeSystem configuration passes. To specify language and locale settings during the windowsPE pass, see the UILanguage setting in the Microsoft-Windows-International-Core-WinPE component.
For the list of supported languages, 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.
In upgrade installation types, this setting is ignored. In upgrade installations, you can upgrade only from the same language.
