Applies to:   Windows Server (All supported versions), Windows client (All supported versions)
Original KB number:   3049255

Symptoms

This issue occurs when the following conditions are true:

• You install an additional language pack on a computer.
• You set both the Override for Windows display language and Override for default input method options for the new language under the Advanced settings of the Language in Control Panel.
• You change the system language.

For example, you receive the following error messages when you change to the Japanese language on the computer:

Error files	Text of the errors in Japanese	Screenshot of the errors
InetRes.admx	管理用テンプレート リソース '$(string.Advanced_EnableSSL3Fallback)' (属性 displayName で参照) が見つかりませんでした。ファイル C:\Windows\PolicyDefinitions\inetres.admx、行 795、列 308
Printing.admx	管理用テンプレート リソース '$(string.ShowJobTitleInEventLogs)' (属性 displayName で参照) が見つかりませんでした。ファイル C:\Windows\PolicyDefinitions\Printing.admx、行 721、列 7

Cause

This issue occurs because several system core files have to be updated when they are related to the newly installed language.

• When you receive the Inetres.admx error, reinstall the update 3021952 that is described in Description of the security update for Internet Explorer: February 10, 2015 (MS15-009).
• When you receive the Printing.admx error, reinstall the update 2934018 that is one of the updates available in Windows RT 8.1, Windows 8.1, and Windows Server 2012 R2 update: April 2014 (2919355).
