Setting Windows language to English (United Kingdom) using Ansible

Question

I am trying to change the Windows Server display language to English (United Kingdom) from Default English (United states)on an Azure vm. I installed the language pack using lpksetup.exe but not sure hw to change display language using ansible . Do we have any ansible windows modules to do that or any other way to achieve it ?

Answer 1

Ansible Code for installing  Language Pack for windows servers

- name: Download Language Pack
  win_get_url:
    url: "{{ repourl }}{{ regionCABFile }}"
    dest: "{{ localregionCABFile }}"
  
- name: Install Language Pack
  win_shell: "lpksetup.exe /i  '{{ regionlocale }}' /p '{{ localregionCABFile }}'  /s /r"

- name: Add Language List
  win_shell: |
    Set-WinUserLanguageList -LanguageList "{{ regionlocale }}" –Force

- name: Set the GeoID and unicode language to English Great Britain
  win_region:
    format: "{{ regionlocale }}"
    location: "{{ regionlocaleid }}"
    unicode_language: "{{ regionunicodelang }}"
  register: result

- name: Restart VM 
  win_reboot:
    when: result.restart_required

Answer 2

You can set the unicode language to English Great Britain, reboot if required

- name: Set the unicode language to English Great Britain, reboot if required
  community.windows.win_region:
    unicode_language: en-GB
  register: result
