---

## Introduction

The `IKeymanKeyboardLanguageInstalled2::InstallTip` installs a
registered Keyman Text Services Framework Text Input Processor (TIP)
input method for the specified language for the current user. The input
method is installed persistently over reboots.

## Specification

``` clike
void InstallTip(long LangID, string TemporaryKeyboardID);
```

## Parameters

`LangID`
:   The `LANGID` to install, which can be found with
    [`FindInstallationLangID`](FindInstallationLangID).
