    How do I remove a language under inputs if the language is not listed in Language settings?


    Currently I have 3 languages on my PC for inputs, Australian English, Japanese, and "Chinese Traditional, Taiwan Microsoft Quick"I did not install Microsoft Quick nor Chinese on my PC.The issue is that now when I hit Alt+Shift to cycle between languages, when it hits Chinese, it no longer allows me to cycle anymore, leaving me stuck.I have tried checking Language preferences for packs, I have tried parsing through Powershell for Language packs installed, I cannot find an entry anywhere nor a way to remove it.Any help would be greatly appreciated, as the only other option would be a *COMPLETE

    :)

  3. Input Language

    Hi Makisxxx
    You must make sure that all unwanted languages are deleted in the "Settings" - "Time and Language" - "Language".
    See the list of languages at the bottom.
    Choose the correct language "by default" then click on each useless language, use the "delete" button.
    A+

    Sorry, my example is in french *Tongue

    How do I remove a language under inputs if the language is not listed in Language settings?

    Tooltips displayed in the wrong language

    Although my version of Windows is set to English and the GPU-Z "Tooltip Language" appears as "System Default (English (United Kingdom))", the tooltips are appearing in the language corresponding to my system locale (or possibly keyboard layout), not the actual system language. I frequently change the keyboard layout and date format (to match the clients I'm working for and the language I'm writing in), but the system language never changes (and software is supposed to run in that language).

    I can manually select "English (United States)", but this basically makes it impossible for me to select the "correct" language (i.e., UK English), because it doesn't appear in the list (other than as "system default" - but is then ignored). Obviously it makes no difference to me if it's in UK or US English, but people with other language combinations might have a problem.

    It seems the routine that populates the language list in the options is (correctly) determining the system language, but the routine that actually generates the tooltips is (incorrectly) reading the system locale instead of language.
