Issue with default Edge lanaguage
Good morning I am having issues with the default language beign set for edge for new installations, all of our systems have the system locale set as en-gb or english (united kingdom) however when...
Deleted thank you.
(UPDATED with more info.)
Josh_Carpenter Thanks for your patience. The team wanted me to pass along the following info. If this still doesn't address the issue, let me know!
1) Did you download MSFT Edge from our website, or did you receive it via a Windows update?
2) It's possible that your admin policy is setting all the PCs to English (United States) not installing the language pack English (United Kingdom). If the language pack was installed and set by company policy, Microsoft Edge should pick up en-gb as the default accept-language and UI language.
3) You can "fix" this in a couple of ways:
- A. Install a version of Windows that has the new MSFT Edge inbox with en-GB as the OS display language
- B. Re-download the new MSFT Edge, making sure that en-GB is the top preferred language in the browser used to download it
- C. Go into edge://settings/languages and manually change the display language
- D. Use Policy to force MSFT Edge to use en-GB as the display language. This will prevent individual users from modifying the display language settings
Hopefully that helps!
