In this article, I will walk through all the steps required to install the Office Online Server and Language Pack. Installation process is almost the same as in SharePoint 2016.
You have to download the OOS from the volume licensing service center and place it on the Server. Also, download the language pack for Office Online Server from this location.

This will complete the installation of the Office Online Server. We are not configuring it at this point as we have to install the extra language pack. If you want to install any update on for Office Online Server, then this is right time to install it. Once you configure the farm, it will be a little complicated. Our binaries included all the latest updates so no extra updates are required. Now we will procced with the next step which is the installation of language pack for office online server.
Note: If you want to install the extra language pack, install it before installing any updates to the farm.
