Windows 10: Language preferences

How can I set up Microsoft IME in my new PC. Control panel does not have "language preferences" as in the older version where I could assign Microsoft IME setting. I need to add Japanese language.

languages preferred

Hello,

Assuming you want to use English (United States) as your preferred language, try these steps

1. Right click Start Button or press Windows + X keys and select Windows PowerShell (Admin).

2. In the administrative Windows PowerShell window, type these commands one-by-one and press Enter key after each:

Get-WinUserLanguageList

This will display list of installed languages on your machine. Note the LanguageTag for your preferred language.

$1=New-WinUserLanguageList <LanguageTag>

Replace <LanguageTag> for your preferred language. For example, if your preferred language is English (United States), then you can use $1=New-WinUserLanguageList en-US.

Set-WinUserLanguageList $1

After this, when opted, type Y to confirm setting preferred language. Close Windows PowerShell and you're done.

Hope this helps!

 

managing language preference

Hello,



I've got some ergonomic problem because I have to change my language preferences often and the "alt+maj" shortcut is wrong.

I had to deactivate this shortcut because it conflicts with video game controls and I'm unable to reassign the shortcut freely.

I waste my time by going in the taskbar to change my language preference because I write in
both French and English, and the language preference are used to set up spell checker for several software. And also because some early access game need a QWERTY keyboard configuration.



My configuration:

• Win10 Pro (country: Belgium, Language: French(France) )
• Two language pack are installed ("French[FRANCE]" and "English[USA]")
• 3 keyboard configurations ("French- AZERTY", "English-QWERTY" & ""English-AZERTY")
• The "maj+alt" shortcut is deactivated due to the conflict with game controls.

The result is:

• French - AZERTY (needed)
• English - AZERTY (needed)
• English - QWERTY (needed)
• French (Belgium) -AZERTY (don't needed and I don't want it. it's due to the country setting… -_-)

So the ergonomy is deeply inefficient. Does anyone have an idea how to solve this problem?



Sincerely.

 

Language preferences

I access the region and language settings as you can see from pic1 I uploaded, but the problem is that English(UK) is not in the list with preferred languages so I can't remove them from there. They just appear in the task bar - down right corner, so it
is a few extra taps on Alt+Shift to get the right layout for me. Thank you anyway for your time Pedro.
