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.
- 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.

Thanks this works but this is really not intuitive. This is typically the type of things that frustrates users uselessly: believe me, I spent 20 minutes swearing at my PC before finding your article. Please relay this to the Product team: with all the data already in your possession (language preference is collected with the Microsoft account....), why make it so difficult for the user and get them angry?
