Issues with input language.

Hello,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

In order to get more clarity on this issue and to assist you with appropriate troubleshooting steps reply with the answers to the below questions:

1. What is the complete error message that you are receiving?

2. Are you able to input using the English language in Cortana and Settings?

3. What happens when you try to change the input language to Chinese?

4. Is this issue specific to Cortana, Settings and account login page?

Let us try few troubleshooting method to resolve this issue.

Method 1: If you are facing issues with using Chinese as your input language in Cortana and Settings, I suggest you to remove and re-add the language pack and check if that helps.

To remove the language pack:

1. Tap on Windows + I on the keyboard and tap on
Enter.

2. Click on the Time & Language option.

3. Click on the Language option.

4. Click on Chinese language pack and select the
Remove option.

Refer the following article on Manage your input and
display language settings in Windows 10 for steps to re-add the language pack.

To switch between the input languages, tap on
Windows + Space button on the keyboard and check if you are able to change the switch and use the Chinese language to input.

Method 2: If the issue persists, I suggest you to align the speech settings with the pervious input language settings.

1. Go to Start and open
Settings.

2. Select
Time & language > Language.

3. Select the language you want to add speech to, and then select the
Options button.

4. Under
Speech, select Download. It may take a minute or two for the speech pack to load.

5. Sign out and then sign back in for the new speech pack to be added to speech options.

6. Go back to
Settings > Time & language
> Language, select your new language, and then use the up-arrow button to move it to the top of the list and make it the default.

7. Go to
Speech, and make sure the Speech language setting is aligned with the previous settings.


8. Sign out and then sign back in for the new settings to take effect.

Refer the article on Cortana's regions and languages
for more information.

Setting the default input method for the Windows 10 login screen

I had the same question but with French being the default on Windows 10 rather than the one I wanted so I ended up here.

HoD is very close. I was able to use his suggestion to find the solution for me. This solution uses your current display and input language to change the Welcome screen and possible for new user accounts if you want. So make sure you have the display and input settings while logged in that you want to apply to the login screen before doing the steps:

1. Click the language on the Taskbar.
   
2. Then click Language preferences.
   
3. At the bottom under "Related settings," click "additional date, time, & regional settings" which opens the control panel
   
4. Click the "Region" option
   
5. Then go to the far right tab "Administrative". (HoD's step 2)
   
6. In the "Welcome screen and new user accounts" click copy settings. (HoD's step 3)
   
7. Tick "Welcome screen and system accounts" (and "new user accounts" if you want it to be applied to those as well). (HoD's step 4)
   
8. Click Ok. (HoD's step 5)
   

I was able to use HoD's suggestion to find the solution here. It's for Windows 8.1, but works on 10 so far.

Hope it will help you, too!
