windows 11 widget language issue
- Just found a solution: Change windows display language and logoff then login, you'll find Widgets in desired language. Note: I had Widgets in Arabic, tried to change language in website to United States (English) but the language only changed for website (which is opened in Edge) then had this thought: Wait, how would changing website language changes an app language. So i changed Region to United States and Tada: Widgets became in English.
ovancantfort I concur. I just installed the official build of Windows 11, and the widgets language setting is not changed despite all above mentioned language settings.
cpsharp I have the same issue. I live in Hungary, I use the system in hungarian. But for some reason, widgets are is some language I'm not even familiar with. Not even the letters... maybe some arabic stuff?
I get that there are workarounds, but this is somethings, that would REALLY need solving very soon, as Win11 is out. This is not a beta build, but the final 😄
- Just by curiosity, and to test my theory, could you check what are your region, display language and preferred languages settings ?
ovancantfort It seems the region settings control the widgets language, such as the newsfeed. Though I prefer to keep my region as Japan, but still read the news in English. I wish Windows 11 had an option for this, or had set the widgets language to the display language.
- This! I'm an Indonesian and I prefer to keep my Region as Indonesia, but I prefer to be able to read news in English. Not only that, I should be able to "curate" my newsfeed from any sources of my preference, not only from a certain region.
- display language : French
Region : France
Prreferred language: Franch ovancantfort I changed the display language to FR and the widget finally appears in FR. You are indeed right.
