Windows 2000 - List of Locale IDs and Language Groups

The following table lists Locale Ids (LCIDs) and Locale ID:Input Locale combinations for use in unattended installations of the Windows 2000 operating system. For more details about how to use this information, see the unattended installation documentation.

Notes
The (strongly) recommended answer file key for installing a locale is the Language key. This key prevents the installation of separate, possibly invalid, combinations of System Locale, User Locale, and Input Locales, and will automatically install locales appropriate for the Language / Locale specified.

If you do need to install the locale through the use of separate InputLocale, SystemLocale and UserLocale keys, it is extremely important to ensure that the combination of the three locales is valid. You can use the table below to identify valid combinations for each LCID.

For more information about the System Locale, User Locale, and Input Locales, see our Locales and Language Groups FAQ.

To install a Locale you need to ensure that the appropriate Language Group is installed.
