Let’s discuss the best way to Allow Language in Intune Via Setting Catalog. We all know about Intune, a cloud-based endpoint management solution, and what language is, but how to enable the function in Intune via setting catalog is different, right?

The Intune Settings catalog provides all the settings you can configure in one place. This makes it easier for administrators to add, configure, customize, and manage devices and user policy settings. The benefit of using the Intune settings catalog is that we can configure settings for Windows computers.

Intune compliance policies are sets of rules and conditions used to evaluate the configuration of managed devices. These policies help secure organisational data and resources from devices not meeting the set configuration requirements.

There are many ways to install the language using Microsoft Intune. We will deploy the policy ‘Allow Languages’ through the Settings Catalog. In this blog, we will provide step-by-step guidance for deploying the policy.

What is Setting Catalog?

The settings catalog provides a comprehensive list of all configurable settings in one location. This feature simplifies how you create a policy and how you see all the available settings.

When we create the policy, we need to start from the base. We add only the settings we want to control and manage. More settings are continually being added to the settings catalog. The following steps to enable the Allow Language in Intune via the Setting Catalog.

Basics

After that, you create a profile to Allow Language. The primary part of the profile creation process is Basic. In this section, we need to provide the proper Name and Description. This is a mandatory section; we must add it to continue creating Profiles.

  • The description allows users to learn about the policy at any time.
  • Click on the Next button after adding the Name and Description.

Scope Tags

Here are the Scope tags. We can skip this tab and complete this section on the Intune Portal. Because adding scope tags to create a policy is not mandatory, click on the Next button to continue.
