Microsoft lacks an easy way to set the language and keyboard options in Windows.
There are different articles, scripts, tools etc. out there to configure this.
I created my own custom Group Policy to set the default input language to Dutch and the keyboard to United States International.
Download the .ADM file here
How to apply this policy:
| Open the Group Policy Management Console | |
| Create a new GPO or edit an existing one | |
| Right click on the GPO en click on Edit |  |
| Expand the User Configuration, Policies and right click on Administrative Templates | |
| Click on Add/Remove Templates |  |
| Click on Add | |
| Select the Keyboard_Layout.adm | |
| Click on Close |  |
| Expland Classic Administrative Templates |  |
| Expand Keyboard Layout | |
| Enable Keyboard Layout Switching | |
| Enable Language Setting and select Dutch | |
| Enable Keyboard Setting and select Keyboard-setting US –International | |
| Click Ok |  |
Restart the client or and log on with a user account that has the policy applied. Check the language options.
You can add/change/remove languages from the .ADM file using a text editor.

Thanx!
