  2. Can't remove a language from the language selector

    After updating I got a problem with extra language in the language selector list.

    It was not there before update and now I cannot remove it.

    In the language configuration screen I can see only two, the one I don't need is not present, so I cannot remove it. Here is the screenshot of the language panel and the configuration screen.

    Information from Winver: version 1903 build 18362.295

    Also I tried to get the list of languages using command line and it is not there either.

    ==========================

    PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> Get-WinUserLanguageList

    LanguageTag : uk

    Autonym : українська

    EnglishName : Ukrainian

    LocalizedName : українська

    ScriptName : Кирилиця

    InputMethodTips : {0422:00020422}

    Spellchecking : True

    Handwriting : False

    LanguageTag : en-US

    Autonym : English (United States)

    EnglishName : English

    LocalizedName : англійська (США)

    ScriptName : Латинська

    InputMethodTips : {0409:00000409}

    Spellchecking : True

    Handwriting : False

    ==========================

    Please let me know how to get rid of it ! Thanks in advance

    Random language keeps adding to my language bar

    Hi,



    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



    I appreciate the efforts taken by you in resolving the issue. I understand that a random language gets added
    automatically. I’ll certainly assist you with the issue.



    However, please let us know:




    • May I know the language that gets added?

    • Which build version of Windows 10 is installed on the computer? To check type:
      winver in the search bar on the Taskbar and hit
      Enter.



    If you have not tried the lpksetup command, I would suggest you to give it a try and see if that helps. Refer
    the steps mentioned below:




    1. Press and hold
      Windows logo key + R, to open Run dialog box.

    2. Type
      lpksetup and click on OK.

    3. Now, select
      Uninstall display language.

    4. Select the language that you want to uninstall and click on
      Next.



    Let us know how it goes.



    Regards,

    Nikhar Khare

    Random languages in language selector

    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.
