    Input language and keyboard language are different.How to set as default.


    I use English as a language, but living in Spain I use a Spanish keyboard. (Sometimes I write in Spanish)

    Every time I turn on my Surface I have to manually change the settings to ENG/ES - ENG being the input language and ES being the keyboard input.

    Every time, if I forget, all the passwords are wrong-

    How can I set that as default?

    :)

    Can I have a different default input method from the display language


    My knowledge of setting it up for Chinese language is limited as I have only done it with European languages. However I don't think it will be much different to European Language (assuming you use standard Roman alphabet keys on a QWERTY keyboard?), where you can add different languages and different keyboards (input) for those languages, depending on what keyboard you're physically typing on.

    The settings are in Start > Settings > Time & Language > Region & Language, as follows:

    You will find apps such as the Windows 10 Mail app will spell check what you're typing in the language you have set in the Task Bar. So if the 'Input Indicator' in the Task Bar is set to 'ENG' it will spell check/word suggest in English. If it's set to 'GER' is will spell check/word suggest in German.

    Unable to set keyboard language as default differently from Windows 10 language

    Hello,

    You can configure your keyboard language by adding it on the default language set on the system. For instructions, follow these steps:

    • Open Settings.
    • Open Time & language.
    • Select Region & language.
    • Click on the default language, and click Options.
    • Select Add a keyboard, and select the language that you want to add.

    We'll wait for the outcome.

    Input language and keyboard language are different.How to set as default.

    Can I have a different default input method from the display language


    I am sorry for my late reply. First thank you for your detail explanation. I have managed to follow the instructions but what I really want is to have a English system but with Chinese Input as default input method. Right now I have to use CTRL+SPACE on each startup. It is not difficult but in long run it does create a little bit inconvenience.

    In Windows 7 the input method and system language are separated and I would like to know if I can have similar behavior in Windows 10.

    Thank you.
