I have seen reference to languages in other cases out there but when running lpksetup.exe it only shows one language: English (English)

I have tried to install feature and point out source WIM from install media but no luck.

Have also tried:

Run dism /online /cleanup-image /scanhealth
Run dism /online /cleanup-image /checkhealth
Run dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth
Run dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth/source:WIM:E:\sources\install.wim:1 /limitaccess

Run sfc /scannow

If I run a new installation on top it works but this does not feel like a correct solution to this issue as it is the same from all our newly built servers.

Any suggestions or comments most welcome!
