InputLocale
specifies the input language and the
method for input devices, such as the keyboard layout. The input
locale (also called input language) is a per-process setting that
describes an input language (for example, Greek) and an input
method (for example, the keyboard).
Multiple input locales can be installed, and the user can switch between them. Users can add and remove input locales through the Keyboard and Languages tab of the Region and Language Control Panel.
For a list of supported languages, locales, and identifiers, see Supported Language Packs and Default Settings.
