<Language ID="es-es" /> <!-- Example: Spanish -->
</Product>

In an era of high-speed internet and seamless Windows Update integration, the need for an offline installer might seem antiquated. However, for system administrators managing air-gapped networks, remote field teams with metered satellite connections, or enterprise environments with strict software change management policies, the Office 2019 Language Pack Offline Installer is not a convenience—it is a necessity.
Unlike the Click-to-Run web installer that streams components from Microsoft’s CDN, the offline installer contains the full binary payload. It allows you to deploy display languages, proofing tools, and interface localizations without a live internet connection, ensuring consistency across hundreds of endpoints. Prerequisites:
Open Command Prompt as Administrator and navigate to the folder containing setup.exe (the ODT executable) and your XML file. Execute:
setup.exe /configure configuration_fr-fr.xml
If you have the language pack source in a non-default location, add the SourcePath attribute in the XML:
<Add SourcePath="D:\Office2019_LP\fr-fr" OfficeClientEdition="64" ...>
The installation will proceed silently. Progress is logged in %temp%\ODT_*.log.

Then run ODT once with:
<Add SourcePath="\\server\office2019\base" ...>
<Product ID="ProPlus2019Volume">
<Language ID="en-us" />
</Product>
</Add>
<Add SourcePath="\\server\office2019\lang\fr-fr">
<Product ID="LanguagePack">
<Language ID="fr-fr" />
</Product>
</Add>
<Add SourcePath="\\server\office2019\lang\de-de">
<Product ID="LanguagePack">
<Language ID="de-de" />
</Product>
