Intune & Language Packs

I work at a school and we are trying to roll-out the Japanese language pack on Intune machines for students. Our students speak English, but take Japanese classes.

Deploying the language pack seems impossibly difficult - it only works if the users are admins, which is obviously something we do not want to do.

Does anyone know how to deploy a language pack to students through Intune?

    You could deploy language packs from MS Store to Intune and show them in Company Portal.

    @Ariela Randall Thanks for your explain.

    For the option to other language keyboards, I have an idea. We could refer to the following link to try to write PowerShell Scripts to add keyboard languages.

    Note: Non-Microsoft link, just for the reference.

    Then we could try to deploy the PowerShell Script via intune.

    Hope the above information will help.
