Windows 10: Cortana Language Settings

Hi! I was wondering if there was a way to change Cortana's language? I looked at some tutorials and managed to figure out most of it but there seems to be an issue as even after a restart the language remains in English. (I'm wanting to change it to Chinese). Thanks!

Cortana hangs with Australian language HI T

We would suggest performing these steps:

• Go to Settings > Time & language >
  Language.
• Select + Add Languages to add English (United States).
• On the main Languages page, long press on English (Australia) and choose Remove. Afterwards, proceed restarting the phone by selecting the
  Restart phone button.

On the next following steps, reverse back the process we did on the first 3 steps:

• Select + Add Languages to add English (Australia) and proceed with the download prompt.
• Again on the main Languages page, long press on English (United States) and choose
  Remove, and restart phone.
• Once the phone has restarted with the correct English (Australia)
  language, go back to Settings > Extras > Hey Cortana, and begin training
  Cortana again.

Let us know how it works.

Regards.
