windows 11 widget language issue
- Aug 10, 2021Just 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.
@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.

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)).

Welcome to the club!
I have exactly same situation. Living in Belgium with languages set in Windows as English first and French second. The widgets page appears in Dutch ! Going through the 'instellingen' (yes, you have to know the dutch for 'settings') temporarily changes the language on the MSN website, but not on the widgets page.
For me this Widgets page is a big fail. I could have a use for the calendar and weather, but the MSN clickbait news are just an annoying distraction, and of course, you can remove all widgets except the news!
All this to push users to Edge so that MS can record your browsing history for advertising purposes (default behavior). Thanks but no thanks...
