Need help with languages settings

Hi,

Thanks for your reply.

Note that EN - English US cannot be removed for the Windows 10 settings. Nevertheless, I removed FRA - Français Canada. Therefore my Windows 10 SETTINGS
are set to English ONLY. However when I click the language NOTIFICATION ICON ON THE TASK BAR, it still shows two languages:

1. EN – English (Canada) – US Keyboard
   
2. EN – English (United States) – US Keyboard

What I wish to stop is this triple ALT SHIFT strike if I want to switch from FRA to EN or vice versa like explained in the last part of my message.

Is it possible to remove ENGLISH CANADA or ENGLISH UNITED STATE that popup when I click the language notification present on the TASK BAR

Thanks,

 

Problem with setting English language


Yes you can and it is the same as in 7 if I remember correctly.

Search for Language in Control Panel. Click on Options in the English Language.





On Input Method click on Add Input Method and scroll down the list until you find Spanish. Then remove English.





This only affects your keyboard - no other regional or language settings are affected.

For Cortana to work you need your language, region and speech have to be the same - it doesn't care about the keyboard. If your language is US English you'll need to make sure you set your region to US as well. As region affects things like search results and news I leave mine where I am and don't use Cortana but it is up to you - I've just not found a use for it yet.

Hello Ix107,
Many thanks for your reply. I regret the delay in responding, but I had some rather urgent matters to attend to and have not opened my PC for 3 days!
I used your 1st suggestion and - after translating into Spanish, - I have found it to be OK - at the moment! If I have any further problems I shall return for more advice.
My thanks also to 'dalchina' and I agree with you, and I have no use really for the Cortana. I used the 'search' in W7 to search the PC for programmes and suchlike, but I shall use other methods with this W10 "beast"which I hope will suffice!

(Forgive the addition of the "Quote" but I couldn't find a way to simply reply so I used the 'reply with quote button!)

Thanks to you both for your replies.

Regards,
.
