Just wondering how are people deploying the Maori Keyboard in your company. I am currently pushing out PS RegKeys. I have tried to default the MRI Keyboard as default but it drops down to ENG US keyboard, i think cause of Windows Dispay Language Englist (United States) setting in Language.

My PS Script

#mi-NZ Keyboard
Get-Item -Path "HKCU:\Keyboard Layout\Preload" | New-ItemProperty -Name "1" -Value "d0011409" -PropertyType String -Force
Get-Item -Path "HKCU:\Keyboard Layout\Substitutes" | New-ItemProperty -Name "00001409" -Value "00000409" -PropertyType String -Force

#en-NZ Keyboard
Get-Item -Path "HKCU:\Keyboard Layout\Preload" | New-ItemProperty -Name "2" -Value "00001409" -PropertyType String -Force
Get-Item -Path "HKCU:\Keyboard Layout\Substitutes" | New-ItemProperty -Name "d0011409" -Value "00000481" -PropertyType String -Force

Balm its gone!

MS could look to Android for a lesson on how to make it easier for your users to switch between alphabets and associated auto-corrects etc.

It's way too hard to simply add a macron on Word.

It's pretty easy once the Māori keyboard is installed.

Press ` (back tick) then a for ā.

This! And if you have both a Māori and US English keyboard installed (or any 2 or more keyboards) you can switch between them with a double tap on the shift key.

Remember that setting a Registry key does not install the required files.

Maybe look at DISM?

Alrighty, I've added the keyboards for my favourite languages and thanks to the tips in this thread I can now add a macron.

Word shows in the lowermost strip which language is currently selected. Outlook does not show.

There's a bit of stabbing around to get accented characters tho.

I think any OS with an onscreen keyboard will be easier in this scenario.

In answer to the OP, our work machines only have the default (US) keyboard.

If I use the NZ English language setting in word then macrons are added automatically to many Maori words. I don't know enough about the language to be able to tell whether it's being done correctly or comprehensively.

im looking at pushing the "Pōkai Wheako Paetata Reo Māori" Windows store Lang pack from Windows Store. DISM will only work if i have the windows 10 lang ISO from VLCS which im trying to get access to.

Hmm. All over Windows? Or only in Word?

Looks like it's just in Word, unfortunately. No dice in Excel or Powerpoint. Oh well.
