HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Lenovo\System Update\LanguageOverride

If the LanguageOverride is empty, has an invalid value or the NLS language pack

specified in the LanguageOverride field is not installed on the computer, then

System Update gets the language code from the operating system regional settings.

If System Update successfully loads the regional settings language, then that is the

language System Update displays for the rest of the session.

If the language pack corresponding to the regional settings language is not on the

system, then System Update will attempt to load the default language that the end

user selected at installation time through the System Update installer. System

Update gets the default language value from the DefaultLanguage field in the

System Update location of the registry. If the default language pack is on the

system, then the default language will be used for the rest of the session. If the

DefaultLanguage field is empty, has an invalid value or if the language pack that

corresponds to the default language is not on the system, then the default

language is not used.

If System Update is unable to load the language pack defined in the

DefaultLanguage field, then it attempts to load the US English language pack. If

the US English language pack is not on the system, then you will see a message

that reads: System Update has found a critical problem and must close. This error

message is in the US English language.
