windows 11 widget language issue
hey there, I just updated to windows 11, and I am facing an issue with widgets, not able to change the lang of it, tried most of the ways to change it but still had no success.
- 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.

- Thanks mannnn...! It worked. Thank you so much. I tried everything I can. But I didn't know this way. It's a neat trick. Thank you once more.
- I tried this. I'm in Belgium with English Windows and the feed is in Dutch. I downloaded the French language pack, signed out, signed in, the feed is now in French. So far so good. Switch back to English, it's in Dutch again. FFS fix this Microsoft.
- How do I log out?
- I just did that. Thank you. I'm hoping that Microsoft can make this easier.
@he problem still exist with the SandBox, impossible du change de language. When calling Edge still receiving everything in arabic depite the fact my system is configured in french.
- I have the same issue. I live in Belgium. The widget appears in Dutch. When I click on "Personalise your interest", it opens a personalisation page in MS Edge where I can switch to French. Unfortunately, the widget remains in Dutch. (the interface language for Windows 11 is well English (UK)).
The way described does work, I did have all the information in arabic despite the fact the system was with french a language paramaeter. In order to get it in french did change the region first United States, did log off and log on, received information in english. then did repaeated the manipulation, but this time use as region France, log off and and log in again and this time get everything in Franch.
- **bleep**, that actually worked, but also they should give an option to change the lang to our desire even tho we live in some other country.. hope so before the final release of Windows 11 they make these changes.
