    Dialog Box still display in other language after changed system lang


    Hello,

    I have attempted to change the language of my windows 10 professional desktop to French. Seems not all of the operating system is in French. For instance when I go to control panel>system>system>advanced settings, the dialog box is still in English. Any help with this is greatly appreciated. I have searched this forum and others, including a general web search but I cannot find any help on this issue.

    What I have already done:
    1. Start>Settings>Language, Language and Region>Add Language>French France
    2. Clicked French and set as default language
    3. From the Region drop-down, I selected France
    4. Clicked Additional settings at the bottom of window
    5. Select Language
    6. Downloaded Language Pack
    7. Click Back, then Back again
    8. Select Region
    9. From the Format drop-down, select France
    10. On the Localization tab, from the drop-down, selected France.
    11. Start>Store
    12. From the profile drop-down, selected download updates
    13. Installed all updates.

    Please, any help with this is greatly appreciated. I cannot film help support videos in French with English dialog boxes appearing in my videos.

    Thanks in advance.

    :)

  2. My Windows 10 Changing Language Incomplete

    Hi,

    Before we proceed, I need more information to help you better.

    • What is the base language of operating system installed on your computer?

    The display language is the language that Windows uses in wizards, dialog boxes, menus, Help and Support topics, and other items in the user interface. Some display languages are installed by default, and others require you to install additional language
    files. When you change the display language, it is changed for your user account and is not changed on the Welcome screen.

    Let's follow these steps below.

    • Type Control Panel on search bar, click on Control Panel, click on Clock, Language, and Region, and then clicking
      Regional and Language Options.

    • Click the Keyboards and Languages tab.

    • Under Display language, choose a language from the list, and then click
      OK.

    When you change the display language, the text in menus and dialog boxes for some programs might not be in the language that you want. This happens because the program might not support Unicode.

    Hope the above information helps. Reply with necessary information and the result to help you further.

    Dialog Box still display in other language after changed system lang

    Have you tried restarting? I find when changing the display language, I need to log off, log on, then I get a black screen, so CTRL ALT DEL, log off again, log on.

    Completely changing language to satisfy
    a. Cortana
    b. Not getting a message 'Search results aren't quite ready yet' when searching Settings
    is relatively difficult and obscure.

    Hi, see:
    Display language doesnt change in Mail and Calendar apps for Windows 10 - Outlook

    Can only suggest 2 other settings offhand, which are not obviously relevant:

    Dialog Box still display in other language after changed system lang [​IMG]

    and using override:

    Dialog Box still display in other language after changed system lang [​IMG]

    but I would be surprised if those help...

    Also check what happens if you search Settings... do you get an error message?
    What you are seeing may be related to the need one person found to
    a. uninstall updates
    b. apply language
    c. reinstall updates
    Albeit this was related to the error message when searching Settings.

    On mine under control panel>system>system>advanced settings, dialogue spelling is English UK FWIW.
