Prevent the "language preferences" group from syncing to and from this PC. This turns off and disables the "languages preferences" group on the "Windows backup" settings page in PC settings. If you enable this policy setting, the "language preferences" group will not be synced. Use the option "Allow users to turn language preferences syncing on" so that syncing is turned off by default but not disabled. If you do not set or disable this setting, syncing of the "language preferences" group is on by default and configurable by the user.
