Problems in installing a language pack in Windows 10

In my PC with Windows 10 (build 10525) I added the Italian language in the language section of settings but I still see in the Windows display language the «A language pack isn’t available«.

I tried also to download from MSDN the Language Packs and in the it-it folder od the iso there is a lp.cab file but when I try to install it with RUN -> lpksetup (following the instructions from http://www.commentary.com/usman/windows-8-language-packs-installation.htm) it says: «The language cannot be installed on this computer«:

It is stange because in an other computer (a Surface 3 pro one) that had an Italian WIndows 8.1, I succeded to update to Windows 10 and I installed also the English language pack that is seen as available in the language option page . (now there is the link to possibly Disinstall that Language pack I installed)

We appreciate you for being part of Windows 10.

I understand that you would like to download the Italian language pack in Windows 10.

Note : It is not recommended to install the language packs from the third party websites, as it may not be compatible/damaged/corrupted. The link which you have provided will support the Windows 8 language packs. The language packs downloaded from the website you have suggested on the post will not support to install on Windows 10.

Follow the below steps to install the Italian language pack.

Step 1:

Press Windows + I keys on the keyboard to open Settings menu.

Click on Time and language in settings window.

Click on Region and language from left navigation pane.

Click on Add a language (+ symbol)

Select Italian language pack.

Now, click on Italian language pack and click on Set a default button under the Region and language from left navigation pane.

Step 2:

Press Windows + X keys on the keyboard, select Control panel.

Type Language in the search bar located at the top right corner of Control panel and click on language.

Click on the Italian language pack on the Language window.

Click on Download and install language pack button under Italian language pack.

Enter the administrator password if prompted.

Click on Save button.

I hope the above information helps. Kindly let us know if you need any further assistance with Windows. We are glad to assist you.

3. Install a fresh copy of Windows 10, 8.1

Now, this is a more extreme method, but if you did not solve your Language pack issue by following the options above, then if you want a specific language pack installed, I suggest you do it with a fresh copy of Windows 8 or Windows 10.

This means that you should reinstall your Windows operating system once more on your system and install the language pack of your choosing afterwards.

For more information on how to install a fresh copy of Windows 10, you can check out these guides:

Note: If the Language pack download or installation is interrupted for any kind of reason, it will not work a second time. So, be very careful after your reinstall your operating system so that you’re download or install process won’t close accidentally.

If you don’t want to use complex solutions such as solution number 3, you can try to run DISM. Launch Command Prompt (Admin), type the following commands and hit Enter after each one:

• Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth
• Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth
• Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

Restart your computer and check if the issue persists.

Thank you

Kapil Arya

^^ Please try to install language pack manually as mentioned in 2nd method.

JayMan

Do you have the direct link for 64 bit language files for South African English? I’ve tried the Troubleshooter – it repairs a fault, but the fault occurs again each time I try to download a language pack via Windows Update.

Kapil Arya

^^ I believe there is no special language pack for South Africa English. You can go ahead with English US/UK. Reference: support.microsoft.com/en-in/help/14236/language-packs

Tamur

I can’t install manually as shown in the second method cuz it says language pack cannot be installed on this pc. I downloaded 32bit lp cuz my pc is 32bit. Any solutions?

Meet Mehta

have download language pack but cannot install them any solutions as I am using 2nd method to change my language from arbic to english

Zigmunds Steins

Have been fighting the same bug for a couple of weeks;, no luck whatsoever and none of the solutions works.

– ”Add a language” does not work either on Settings or Control Panel.
– Same thing with manual installs; they do not work.
– And of course there is no command to launch the troubleshooter on my machine.

And guess what? It looks like the new Windows version is the culprit because my other computer with an older version does not have this problem.

I have a long list of things named ”The only thing I really hate” and one of them is ”Wasting time and nerves to fix problems that should not even exist.” This is one of them.

Alexis Rivera

When going offline installation. Error message says “The language cannot be installed on this computer.” Any advise will be much appreciated.

Mariano Santi
