Windows 10: How can I install German and English language packs for Windows 11 Live Captions on an...

Hi all,I'm trying to use the Live Captions feature in Windows 11 on a PC that is completely air-gapped no internet access. I need to install both the German and English language packs specifically for Live Captions, but since the machine can't connect to the internet, I don't know how to get the necessary files or install them manually. Is there an official way to download the required Live Captions language packs e.g., via another PC, and then transfer and install them offline? If yes, where can I find those files and how do I apply them properly? Any help is appreciated!

Live Caption Language Only Displays English

I want to use Windows 11 Live Caption for Spanish videos. I have added Spanish to my languages for Live Caption and moved it to the top of my preferred languages . But when I start Live Caption, it says "Ready to caption in English". When I click on caption language in the settings, the only choices are English and "Add a language" even though I have already added Spanish. How can I get Spanish to display as one of the choices for my caption language?
