Autopilot change the operating systems default installed language

Hi everyone,   We started working with Autopilot. When we used SCCM to deploy a computer the OS was EN-US.  Now we want to know if there is a way to change an already installed OS language to EN-US...
Autopilot
Intune

    For anyone that needs this. Unless you are still deploying windows 10 and Microsoft doesn't allow the new "Copy-UserInternationalSettingsToSystem". And, Microsoft doesn't let us install an LP with PS like what I found they are testing in the Insider Builds. Do the following:

    (This is based on https://github.com/mtniehaus/AutopilotBranding

    1. Get the required LPs
    2. Create a Win32 app that which contains the following - LPs + xml for the intl.cpl copy international and a script that:
      1. installs the LPs + Languages capabilities.
      2. Set timezone
      3. Set system locale
      4. Set culture.
      5. Set windows geo location
      6. Set user language list
      7. Copies the international settings to system and new user using the xml file.

    I hope this helps anyone with this issue, and thanks shehanjp  for the answers. They pointed me in the right direction.

shehanjp Great Idea but didn't work.

The primary language was the OS language.

It only changed the region of the OS...

    question is where can i gat the LP. In the store only Local Experience packs are available. If you are only working cloud only there is no changes to pull it from a CD.

      If you are using windows 10 or windows 11 21h2 you should be using the language pack from the feature on demand ISO in volume licensing.
