Language bar

Description
Select the required option to display the language bar in a session. The language bar displays the preferred input language in a session. This policy is not configured by default. When you disable this policy, the language bar is displayed in an app session.
Registry
HKLM
Software\Policies\Citrix\Ica Client\Engine\Lockdown Profiles\All Regions\Lockdown\Virtual Channels\Keyboard This policy sets several registry values:
DisableLanguageBar Keyboard Enabled:
DisableLanguageBar = (deleted) Disabled:
DisableLanguageBar = 0 REG Builder
BETAConfigure the state and elements to generate .reg, PowerShell, Intune, and SCCM outputs.
These exports replicate the policy's registry effect. Editing the registry directly is not the same as applying the GPO through the management console (no gpupdate, no central reporting). Test before production; HKLM changes require administrator rights.
