The following tables show the supported language packs for Windows desktop editions and Windows Server, and supported language interface packs (LIPs) for Windows desktop editions. LIPs are available for Windows desktop releases, but are not available for Windows Server. For more information, see
Language packs
.
The version of the language, LIP, or Feature on Demand must match the version number. For example, you can neither add a Windows 10 version 1809 LIP to Windows 10 version 1803 image, nor add a Windows Server 2019 language pack to Windows Server 2016.
You cannot add languages to Home Single Language and Home Country Specific editions.
To learn how to add languages to Windows, or where to get them, see

Supported Language Packs and Language Interface Packs
The following tables include these settings:
Language/region

Language/region ID
