Windows 11 24H2: Adding Simplified Chinese Language Pack via DISM

Disclaimer: This tutorial is specifically designed for Windows 11 24H2 version. Using this guide on 23H2 or 22H2 versions may result in error 0x800f0818 when installing the .CAB language pack.

Steps:

1. Obtain the Simplified Chinese Language Pack from OneDrive or the Windows ISO.

   • If using the Windows ISO, mount the ISO and locate the Microsoft-Windows-LanguageFeatures-Basic-zh-cn-xxx.cab file. You will also need the Microsoft.LanguageExperiencePackzh-CN.appx bundle which you can get from the OneDrive.

2. Install the Microsoft.LanguageExperiencePackzh-CN.appx bundle by double-clicking the APPX file.

3. Once the installation is complete, go to Settings > Region and Language > Add Language and add Simplified Chinese.

4. The Simplified Chinese IME (Input Method Editor) may not be ready at this point. If it is ready and you can type in Chinese, you can skip the steps below.

5. Download the Microsoft-Windows-LanguageFeatures-Basic-zh-cn-xxx.cab file, and open PowerShell as Administrator.

6. Run the following command to add the language pack with IME support:

   dism /Online /Add-Package /PackagePath:<path to cab>
   

   Example:

   dism /Online /Add-Package /PackagePath:"C:\Users\iFast\Downloads\Microsoft-Windows-LanguageFeatures-Basic-zh-cn-xxx.cab"
   

   

7. Wait for the installation to complete (it may take 2-7 minutes). Once successful, verify if the Chinese IME is working.
