Hi Oliver,

Thank you for being a part of Windows 10.

I suggest you to follow the below steps to check the language and speech settings in Cortana.

• If you find different language, you can change it by clicking on Add a language option.
  
• Select your preferred language (English UK) and click on
  Set as default under English UK language.
• Now, click on English UK and click on Options.
• Download the language, handwriting and speech packs.
• Now, click on Speech from the Time and language settings menu.

speech language

So, when you go to Settings/Speech and tap on the Speech Language box, do you get a list of available languages? Is the language you want in there? If it is, and you tap it, what happens?



If the language you want is not in that list, I'm not sure there is an option to 'download' additional languages to add them to the list.

 

Cannot select Portuguese (Brasil) as a speech language

I am unable to do this step:

• Go back to Settings > Time & language > Speech and make sure the Speech language setting is aligned with the previous settings. If the language you want isn't available, follow the
  steps on the next tab to add it.

Even though I have followed all the steps exactly, and have installed all the required files (see my first post) but the drop down for speech language only has English (US) as an option. I have tired uninstalling and reinstalling the files, but the option
in the drop down still does not appear. What is causing the speech option not to work even though everything required for it is there and installed correctly?
