Windows 10: how can i change language on keyboard, ie English to Russian?

I am using Duolingo to learn Russian. how do I type answers in Russian?

:)

 

Use English Keyboard Layout, but output Russian Language.

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

1. If you are using an external (English) keyboard, then you can go to
   Settings > Time & Language > Language > Click on
   Add a language.
   
2. Then, search for Russian language under
   Preferred languages, and then select Options.
   
3. Select Download from the Download language pack option.
   
4. After the language pack is installed, go back and choose a language from the
   Windows display language menu.
   
5. Restart the computer once for the changes to take effect.
   

For more information on input and display, you may also refer Manage
your input and display language settings in Windows 10.



The above steps will change the system language to Russian and you can use the external keyboard to type the Russian language from English keyboard.



I've tried replicating the same thing on a Touch Keyboard and using
On-Screen Keyboard, but we cannot change these settings for a Touch Keyboard or an On-Screen Keyboard. If you want to make these changes to Touch Keyboard or an On-Screen Keyboard, then I suggest you to post your feedback in
Feedback Hub. Our developers are collating
suggestions for the improvement of your experience in using input and display language settings.

 

Windows 10 English Display Language with Russian Input Method

I'm struggling to achieve what seems like a quite easy thing.

• I'm running a Windows 10 Laptop installed in English.
  
• I live in Germany, so Country or region (Settings -> Time & Language -> Region & language) is set to Germany.
  
• My Display Language is set to English (United States).
  
• As I use a hardware keyboard with US layout, but still need to type some German stuff, I have two keyboard layouts added to the input language - US (default) and German.
  

So far, so good. But I recently started learning Russian and now I need to practice typing. I can't add the Russian keyboard layout to the English (United States) language - it simply doesn't show up in the list.

To add the keyboard layout to my hotkey switchable keyboard layout list is all I want. When I add Russian as a language it is obviously being ignored by the keyboard layout switch hotkey, since it's a completely new input method instead of just a keyboard layout, so it keeps switching between US and DE only.

This is what my language bar looks like with Russian added as a language:





Those are my advanced settings and language bar hotkeys:





Can someone help? Many thanks in advance!

 

Russian language in start menu

I have started noticing Russian language in my start menu and in some windows applications (eg Calculator and Photo previewer).



I do have Russian language installed but its not default and I want my menu to be English.
I'm sure this is an easy fix, but if someone can step me through it, I would appreciate it.
Thanks
