Windows 8.x Language Packs

Add Language

It can done by the same way the Windows 7, using DISM, on a Windows 7 machine
change the language <your language> (change to yours) like pt-br or es-es

extract All windows 8 dvd contents to:
C:\WIN8\DVD
C:\WIN8\LP

CREATE A DIR
C:\WIN8\WIM

1-) dism /Mount-Wim /WimFile:C:\WIN8\DVD\sources\install.wim /index:1 /MountDir:C:\WIN8\WIM
2-) dism /Image:C:\WIN8\WIM /Add-Package /PackagePath:C:\LP\lp.cab
3-) dism /image:C:\WIN8\WIM /Set-SKUIntlDefaults:<your language> /Gen-LangINI /Set-SetupUILang:<your language> /distribution:C:\WIN8\DVD
4-) dism /Unmount-Wim /MountDir:C:\WIN8\WIM /commit

Step 2 demanding a time to execute, but after this, you can change your language at the control panel as well

Regards!!

 

Thanks, I will try it

 

this way the installed version of windows will be in another language, but the setup itself is still in english IIRC, for that you need WinPE LPs.
correct me if I am wrong!

 

Yes BAV, you´re absolute right

The boot installation will be in english instead, but i think it is not a problem...until WinPE
I'm looking desesperately for the WINPE Images. I think that will be shipped with AIK - version Windows 8

This procedure above it just to integrate de cab onto installation, so you just change the language at the control panel without wait the manual installation (that takes some time)

 

I get an error the second command (dism /Image:C:\WIN8\WIM /Add-Package /PackagePath:C:\LP\lp.cab)
error: 0x800070003
the dism log file can be found at c windows logs dism dism.log

 

Yeah I read that, I was just answering your question about why not using x64. Thanks a lot for the single 64bit MUIs though, downloading the whole ISO just for my language would have taken days.

 

It's wrong the directory, it isn't "C:\LP\lp.cab" but "C:\Win8\LP\lp.cab"

 

Thanks, it works, I now have on the third command error ...
dism /image:C:\WIN8\WIM /Set-SKUIntlDefaults:<he-il> /Gen-LangINI /Set-SetupUILang:<he-il> /distribution:C:\WIN8\DVD
(The system cannot find the file specified.)

 

Hi, Bro
Remove the < >. Sorry for that

 

Thanks, I finished all the steps, what now?

 

arabic x86 Please

 

It´s done. After the commit, the contents of your C:\WIN8\DVD folder is ready to go

Format a USB Drive using Microsoft Windows 7 USB/DVD Download Tool and copy all the contents to the USB Drive...

Other way that i like is generate a ISO with MagicISO:
- Generate a ISO, selecting all the content files of "C:\WIN8\DVD" and saving to a Image
- Open a Windows 7 Bootable ISO and "Save Boot Image" in the "Tools" menu
- Open your Windows 8 Saved Image, point to tools menu e "Load Boot Image". Select the bif file and clik Save Button
- Now your ISO is bootable and can be recorded by any DVD recorder

Go on man! lol

 

Thank you for your help

 

Half are translated in GREEK but all in the start menu is English mercy.

 

You need to login to view this posts content.

 

you can have Everything in Greek (made a slipstream iso earlier) AND setup interface to Greek. (NOTE, doing this in win7 got me 1 corrupted file as checked by sfc, upon a fresh install, so did it from Win8 using that version of DISM and completed fine)
(only peculiar screenshot i captured was when showed "Προετοιμασία Συσκευών xx%", where pop uped a few times, "Getting ready)

if you have already build the image.wim, now you need to insert the el_GR to boot.wim.
assuming that.. (F:\8Work in my case)

dism /mount-wim /WimFile:F:\8Work\DVD\sources\boot.wim /index:2 /MountDir:F:\8Work\WIM
xcopy F:\8Work\DVD\sources\lang.ini F:\8Work\WIM\sources\ /cheryki
xcopy F:\8Work\LP\setup\sources\el-GR\*.* F:\8Work\WIM\sources\el-GR /cheryki
dism /Unmount-Wim /MountDir:F:\8Work\WIM /commit

and now you have the boot.wim with Greek language added

from now on you can continue build the ISO, with fully Greek Interface (selectable Greek/English)

 

Did you mean Windows key + R?

 

Is there a download Location for this?
