Chromium Edge Release blooper: wrong language on install

In classic release fashion, no Microsoft Software comes out without bugs.  In this case, it's a little bit of a gross oversight though:    The browser installed in the wrong language, I can't even...

    Hey, everyone! We are aware of this issue. Uninstalling and trying again has resolved this for some users, however not everyone. We're working hard to resolve this! You should be able to change your language settings if you go to the gear icon in the ellipses menu for Settings, clicking on the Language option with the below icon, and then clicking the button at the top there to Add languages. You can search for English (or whatever your preferred language is) and should be set!

     

     

    I'll provide updates as I have them. Thanks so much for installing Stable and providing this feedback!

    Still insufficient information. 

     

    Can you provide a step-bystep visual guide that can be followed regardless of language? 

     

    I tried to install English - United States, or English - UK, but they are nowhere to be found:

      Hi Tiago Freire, it looks like you may be stuck on a Polish language version.  Here are the instructions for you to get to English:

      1) Enter edge://settings/languages into the Address bar and hit enter.

      2) Click on the button at the top, right of the Settings page:

      3) Find the language that looks like this: angielski or angielski (Stany Zjednoczone) and click OK 

      4) Then you will need to click the More Menu (...) for the English language and check the first checkbox.

      5) A button will then appear, if you click it it will relaunch the browser, and your display language should be English.

       

      Thanks - Elliot
