  1. PowerPoint setting default language setting other than the one set on the keyboard.


    Dear all,


    I have searched quite a bit on how to set the language setting in PowerPoint and I am lost. The issue is, I am making presentations very often in multiple languages English, Czech, French, German, but I use only Czech keyboard layout. It is very frustrating having to switch between the keyboards to have the spellcheck for that language.

    Even when I set the spellcheck language for a text box, the second I make a new slide, the language preference switches to one of the keyboard. It is very frustrating and currently I simply ignore it and when writing in other language than Czech, I just let all the red underlines be.

    Please tell me I am missing something, and that it's not an unchangeable feature.


    Thank you!


    Marek

  2. 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.

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

    I'm able to do that, but the problem is: I need the default language for the keyboard to be set to brazilian portuguese but everytime I log in, windows is enforcing the keyboard language to be the same as the used for display.

    I know I can press windows+space to switch languages, but I did not have to do it in the past, something changed with the latest patches.

    Hi ChrSchPcGuy,

    There could be a number of factors as to why you are experiencing keyboard and language issue in Windows 10. I'd like to know more about your concern. Kindly provide us a screenshot of your Region & language settings so we can have a closer look.

    Meanwhile, I suggest that you remove and re-add the German keyboard layout. To do this, follow the steps below:

    1. Go to Setting > Time & Language > Region & Language.
    2. Under Languages, select English (United States), and then click
      Options.

    3. Under Keyboard, select German and then click
      Remove.

    4. Restart your computer and then re-add the German keyboard layout and set it as your default keyboard.

    Let us know how it goes and we'll assist you further if needed.
