Hi Team,

Want to Know is Any Way around the Change the Preferred Language on the Macbook with the Help of jamf.

i want to change the Preferred Language from English to English U.S.

You can change the language by modifying the AppleLanguages key in 

/Library/Preferences/.GlobalPreferences.plist with the defaults command. It is still best to allow the user to manage this setting as the device needs to reboot to fully apply it.

It should be two lines of code (I'm in the UK) -

defaults write NSGlobalDomain AppleLanguages "(en-GB)"
defaults write NSGlobalDomain AppleLocale "en_GB"
