Re: Windows 10 Offline Language Pack
Denna Repaci
I want to download Windows 10 and Windows 11 offline language package. Because my PC don't connect to the Internet. But I'm not an OEM or partner of Microsoft, I can't sign in the OEM website and partner website. How to download it?
The solution is go to System and Add a feature, add the supported font. I have done this on one Windows 10. However, when I try to do this on another Win10 PC, for some reason it doesn't show up the list for me to choose the language to install, the below screenshot show only English are able to choose from
Edit1:I have followed the link provided by @NetworkKingPin to grab the offline language pack, but I am unable to install it. It returned a message "The language cannot be installed on this computer".
Deployment Image Servicing and Management (DISM) is a command-line tool used to update offline Windows images. There are two ways to install or remove packages offline with DISM. You can either apply an unattend answer file to the offline image, or you can add or remove the package directly from the command prompt.
Microsoft also Introduced Local Experience Packs (LXPs), which are modern language packs delivered through the Microsoft Store or Microsoft Store for Business. So you no longer have to wait for feature update releases to deliver improved translations to you.
You can create Windows images with LIP by installing the appropriate LXP from the language pack ISOs for full languages (aka SKU languages), Microsoft has not yet retired the legacy language packs (lp.cab), so you will need to continue to add lp.cab for full languages to the OS image using DISM.
Modify an image offline: Start with an image file (either .wim or .ffu format). Mount the file using DISM. It appears as a group of folders. Modify it using DISM, adding drivers, languages, and more. Use DISM to unmount and commit the changes back to the original image file. Apply it to new devices.
After you modify a mounted image, you must unmount it. If you mount your image with the default read/write permissions, you can commit your changes. This makes your modifications a permanent part of the image.
My Situation: I'm working and developing on a Windows machine but it has no access to Internet. I can go to a Linux machine and download things, copy them on USB Stick and then copy again from stick to the Windows machine.
@matt2xu actually there is no way to connect the Windows to Internet. I can develop some code under Linux but after a certain point I need to connect to real Hardware. This is only at the Windows machine possible.
@tyoc213 Maybe cargo cacher would help to download all the crates on my Linux machine but isn't there an easier way just to download all (e.g. as zip)? Maybe I will try with cargo cacher just to see how many MBytes all crates together fill on my hdd...
@matklad Great! It works! Seems to be a really cool workflow to use rust in 'offline' situations.
By the way: Personally I think a programming language that insists always on Internet isn't universal enough.
Thanks for help and special thanks to Alex Crichton! I really don't know his motivation to write cargo-vendor but it is exactly what I need.
Tauri applications for Windows are either distributed as Microsoft Installers (.msi files) using the WiX Toolset v3 or starting with Tauri v1.3 as setup executables (-setup.exe files) using NSIS. The Tauri CLI bundles your application binary and additional resources. Please note that .msi installers can only be created on Windows as cross-compilation doesn't work yet. Cross-compilation for NSIS installers is experimental and being worked on.
Only the NSIS target supports ARM64 targets, so if you configured tauri to compile all bundle types you may want to change the above command to tauri build --target aarch64-pc-windows-msvc --bundles nsis to only build the NSIS installer.
By default, the Microsoft Installer (.msi) does not work on Windows 7 because it needs to download the WebView2 bootstrapper if not installed (which might fail if TLS 1.2 is not enabled in the operating system). Tauri includes an option to embed the WebView2 bootstrapper (see the Embedding the WebView2 Bootstrapper section below). The NSIS based installer (-setup.exe) also supports the downloadBootstrapper mode on Windows 7.
If your system requires the MSI bundle to be FIPS compliant you can set the TAURI_FIPS_COMPLIANT environment variable to true before running tauri build. In PowerShell you can set it for the current terminal session like this:
The installers by default download the WebView2 bootstrapper and executes it if the runtime is not installed. Alternatively, you can embed the bootstrapper, embed the offline installer, or use a fixed WebView2 runtime version. See the following table for a comparison between these methods:
This is the default setting for building the Windows Installer. It downloads the bootstrapper and runs it. Requires an internet connection but results in a smaller installer size. This is not recommended if you're going to be distributing to Windows 7 via .msi installers.
To embed the WebView2 Bootstrapper, set the webviewInstallMode to offlineInstaller. This increases the installer size by around 127MB, but allows your application to be installed even if an internet connection is not available.
Using the runtime provided by the system is great for security as the webview vulnerability patches are managed by Windows. If you want to control the WebView2 distribution on each of your applications (either to manage the release patches yourself or distribute applications on environments where an internet connection might not be available) Tauri can bundle the runtime files for you.
The .msi Windows Installer package is built using the WiX Toolset v3. Currently, apart from pre-defined configurations, you can change it by using a custom WiX source code (an XML file with a .wxs file extension) or through WiX fragments.
The Windows Installer XML defined by Tauri is configured to work for the common use case of simple webview-based applications (you can find it here). It uses handlebars so the Tauri CLI can brand your installer according to your tauri.conf.json definition. If you need a completely different installer, a custom template file can be configured on tauri.bundle.windows.wix.template.
Note that ComponentGroup, Component, FeatureGroup, Feature and Merge element ids must be referenced on the wix object of tauri.conf.json on the componentGroupRefs, componentRefs, featureGroupRefs, featureRefs and mergeRefs respectively to be included in the installer.
The NSIS Installer's .nsi script defined by Tauri is configured to work for the common use case of simple webview-based applications (you can find it here). It uses handlebars so the Tauri CLI can brand your installer according to your tauri.conf.json definition. If you need a completely different installer, a custom template file can be configured on tauri.bundle.windows.nsis.template on Tauri v1.4 and above.
The NSIS Installer is a multi-language installer, which means you always have a single installer which contains all the selected translations. You can specify which languages to include using the tauri.bundle.windows.nsis.languages property. A list of languages supported by NSIS is available in the NSIS GitHub project. There are a few Tauri-specific translations required, so if you see untranslated texts feel free to open a feature request in Tauri's main repo. Starting with v1.4 you can also provide custom translation files.
The WiX Installer is built using the en-US language by default. Internationalization (i18n) can be configured using the tauri.bundle.windows.wix.language property, defining the languages Tauri should build an installer against. You can find the language names to use in the Language-Culture column on Microsoft's website.
Currently, Tauri references the following locale strings: LaunchApp, DowngradeErrorMessage, PathEnvVarFeature and InstallAppFeature. You can define your own strings and reference them on your custom template or fragments with "!(loc.TheStringId)". See the WiX localization documentation for more information.
Microsoft Translator's latest feature on Android adds offline translation capabilities to the application.This means that Android users can use it in situations where Internet is not available at all, or not reliable enough to send and receive data from a server when it is needed.
The following guide walks you through the steps of adding offline language packs to Microsoft Translator for Android so that you can translate these languages using the application without Internet connection.
We are pleased to introduce today the world's first Deep Neural Network-powered offline engine, available in the Microsoft Translator app for Android. By downloading free offline packs, users can get near online-quality translations, even when they are not connected to the Internet.
Open the application afterwards, and tap on the three dots in the upper right corner. The context menu displays options to open the settings, and to access the new offline languages configuration page.
A tap on the option opens the offline languages page. There you find listed all offline language packs that are installed on the device (English only by default), and the available language packs for you to install.
Offline language packs have a size between 181 and 230 Megabyte each, and may take a while to download depending on your Internet connection. If you are on a limited plan, it may be best to download these packs when the phone is connected to a Wi-Fi network.
At least some users are experiencing a bug right now which prevents them from downloading language packs to their device. The selected language is added to the list of installed languages after the prompt, but it is not downloaded. You will notice this when you leave the configuration page and go back to it afterwards, as the selected language is not listed under installed anymore then.
