Windows 10: 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 change

Hi Peter,

It could be that the language pack is missing on your Windows 10 device. With this, we suggest that you try to add the language on your device. Here are the steps:

• Go to Control Panel.
• Select Clock, Language, and Region.
• Under Language, select Add a language.

You may also check the Change input methods on which language are currently installed on your device. You may also click Add a language on the
Change your language preferences window.

Let us know how it goes and feel free to get back to us if you need further assistance.

Cannot remove language in "language preferences" after win10 update

Hi Spiros, there is a known bug in the 1803 version of Windows 10. Microsoft are aware of this issue and hopefully are working on a patch . . .

For the moment, please try this workaround to set your preferred input language:

Right click your Start Button, choose Powershell (admin)

Run this command to get a list of installed languages on your PC

Get-WinUserLanguageList

Note down the LanguageTag of your preferred language

If say, your preferred language is US English, run this command and hit Enter:

$1 = New-WinUserLanguageList en-US

Then run this command to set the order of installed input languages

Set-WinUserLanguageList $1

Close Powershell and restart your PC
