Language sync between Edge & Win

Good day
Is it possible that Edge Chromium takes the language from the operating system ?

Windows 10 is in French = Edge is also in French

 

Many thanks

  • gardenzwerg Thanks for reaching out! The quick answer is that it can. Are you able to share more details about your scenario or what you're encountering? We currently have some known issues around language settings.

      Deleted we can only set 1 Language per user in the registry:

      Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Edge

      REG_SZ: ApplicationLocaleValue

       

      https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/deployedge/microsoft-edge-policies#applicationlocalevalue

       

      if we set english per registry, the user does not have the possibility to change the language

      example: we add englisch in the registry but the user wants german or french, he can change, but if he restart the browser, englisch come back as default

        gardenzwerg Thanks for the details. I've looped in one of our language engineers, and will let you know if they have any insights or recommendations.
