Description
AddLanguage element is specified, one
(and only one) language must specify
the ShellTransform element.
Remarks
The language must be available on the network installation point.
You can have multiple elements for AddLanguage and RemoveLanguage element. If both the
RemoveLanguage element and the AddLanguage element specify the same language, the
AddLanguage element takes precedence and the language is installed.
Note:
If more than one AddLanguage element is specified, one (and only one) language must
specify the ShellTransform element or Setup ends the installation.
There are three language concepts that you should know about when you install the Office 2013
Preview:
Setup user interface (UI): the language of the installation.
Shell UI: the language of shortcuts, right-click context menus, and tooltips.
Office UI: the language of the Office user interface and menus.
When there are multiple Office languages, these three values are determined as follows:
By default, the Setup UI depends on the set of available resources for installation and the ability to
match the user locale. By default, the Setup UI matches the user locale. The Shell UI depends on the
set of languages that is being installed and, by default, follows the Setup UI. The default Office UI
language depends on the user locale and current user settings. The default is to use the Windows user
locale set on each user's computer. This means that in the default case, the Setup UI, Shell UI, and
Office UI will all be the same.
A locale in the Windows operating system is a set of user preference information related to the user's
language, environment, and cultural conventions. This information is represented as a list of values that
are used to determine the correct input language, keyboard layout, sorting order, and the formats that
are used for numbers, dates, currencies, and time. The user locale is a per-user setting that determines
the formats that are used, by default, to display dates, times, currency, and numbers, and the sorting
order of text. A user locale is specified for each account that is created on a computer.
If an administrator specifies multiple languages for installation in the Config.xml file, the Shell UI
language must be selected from the set of languages that are being installed. To do this, administrators
specify the ShellTransform attribute of the AddLanguage element in the Config.xml file.
AddLanguage specifies the language that Setup uses for the Shell UI. However, this does not
necessarily affect the choice of Setup UI or Office UI when it is installed on the user’s computer.
For example, if you have an Office image with English, French, German, and Spanish, to specify that
Setup install full language support for all these languages and have the Shell UI follow the user’s
default regional options, you add the following elements in the Config.xml file.
<AddLanguage Id="match" ShellTransform="yes"/> <AddLanguage Id="en-us" /> <AddLanguage
Id="fr-fr" /> <AddLanguage Id="de-de" /> <AddLanguage Id="es-es" />
