    There are many threads similar to this https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/cant-remove-a-voice-package/ and closed.After days of trying everything I found online, still no solution.But: I was able to drill down ever more, and figured out what's really causing the issue. It's this message:A system language of course cannot be deleted.But why is it system language? I certainly don't want that.My guess is, it's caused by: it's a reseller's Dell laptop with Win10 Pro complete with still Dell assistance package but they wouldn't help because "it's a microsoft issue".

  2. Windows 10 English version: when the latest update occurred the system changed the language to German since that is where i reside

    Hi,

    Thanks for posting your query on Microsoft community.

    We understand the inconvenience caused and we will try our best to resolve the issue.

    Control panel > Languages? If not, what is the error message you are getting when trying to add English language pack.

    I like to inform you that, we no need to download English language pack additionally since, English language will be already available among the language list. You need to add the English language from the list.

    Follow the below steps:

    Step 1: Add English language.

    Follow the below steps to add your language from the language list.


    • Press Windows + X on your keyboard.

    • Select Control panel.

    • Select language.

    • Click on Add language.

    • Add the English language from the given list.


    Step 2: Override Windows display language and default input method to English.

    Follow the below steps:


    • Press Windows + X on your keyboard.

    • Select Control panel.

    • Select language.

    • Click on Advanced Settings, form the left navigation panel.

    Win10 – Language change Arabic to English

    I just bought a 2nd hand laptop by occasion and it has only one problem: the Windows 10 was installed in Arabic language and I need it in English. I do not read/speak Arabic language.
    I looked over many YouTube videos in Arabic and English language about how to change the language in Win10. Unfortunately my screens that I see in Arabic language do not match the screens seen in Arabic on YouTube videos/tutorials, so I cannot do a blind click-click and by chance to change it into English.
    I can make print screens and then put them in USB stick and upload them here on EE from another PC – that I figure it out.
    I do not want to reinstall Win10 from scratch, but of course that is the last option.
    Below are the first steps which leaded me to, I hope, Language and Regional Settings in Win10, but where to click further and what to choose?
    I really need your guidance in step by step with pictures where shall I click in order to install the English language.
    A tutorial in English does not help. I need a tutorial (step by step) in Arabic with pictures.
