  1. Error with OneDrive folder name, When changing system language from CN to EN


    I am trying to convert all my folders in OneDrive from Chinese to English, but failed.Apparently, the "display language" and "preferred language" of my Microsoft account is both in English only.Region and language settings on Win10 is also set to accordingly.

    :)

    OneDrive screenshots folder name in another language

    After learning that I am able to use "Win + Shift + S" to take a screenshot of a portion of the screen, I also found out about "Alt + PrScr", which I am able to take a screenshot of the active window. When I've used the "Alt + PrScr",
    my settings for OneDrive have it automatically saved into a folder on OneDrive.

    However, I've come to realize that the folder name that it saved it in is not in the correct language. As seen from the screenshot below, the last folder in the list.

    The language that it is displayed in is in Chinese, however, my computer's main language is in English. I've set my region and language settings to "Singapore", so I presumed that the main language should be in English, however, I'm getting
    an automatic folder creation that's in Chinese instead.

    I really hope that there's a way for this to be changed so that my system is consistent in its language settings.

    Windows 8.1 update changed the language, can't change back

    Maybe, these will help... it seems it is a common enough problem.

    Language packs are no longer available after you upgrade to Windows 8.1

    And, sort of the same here --> Add a language or keyboard

    Quote from above MS web page:

    Spoiler Download and install language packs
    You'll need to download the language pack if you want to make a language your Windows display language (that's the language you see most often in Windows and apps).
    • Swipe in from the right edge of the screen, tap Settings, and then tap Change PC settings.
      (If you're using a mouse, point to the lower-right corner of the screen, move the mouse pointer up, click Settings, and then click Change PC settings.)
    • Tap or click Time and language, and then tap or click Region and language.
    • Tap or click a language that says Language pack available underneath, and then tap or click Options.
    • Tap or click Download. The download process might take a while, depending on your PC and the size of the language pack.
      If you want to make this your display language, see the next section "Change your Windows display language".
    Change your Windows display language
    To change your Windows display language (that's the language you see most often in Windows and apps), first add a language, download and install the language pack, and then follow these steps.
    • Swipe in from the right edge of the screen, tap Settings, and then tap Change PC settings.
      (If you're using a mouse, point to the lower-right corner of the screen, move the mouse pointer up, click Settings, and then click Change PC settings.)
    • Tap or click Time and language, and then tap or click Region and language.
    • Tap or click the language that you want to set as your display language.
    • Tap or click Set as primary to move the language to the top of the list. If the language can become your Windows display language, you'll see Will be display language after next sign-in appear under the language.
    • Sign out and then sign back in to finish.
    And here is some more info --> Add Language Packs to Windows
