Regional Format options are limited to English

My use case is basic and something I always did on Win7: I want windows to display the UI in English but use regional settings to Portuguese so that date formats, money, decimals, etc, are in Portuguese format.

When I go to settings > region, I can set region to Portugal but on the second dropdown for regional format I only get options saying English (...). Is there a way to select portuguese as regional format or do I have to manually change all data formats to
my liking?

 

Cortana not recognising UK region setting

Hi Laurence,

Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community.

I would like to inform you that as of now Cortana is only available for U.S.-English. Though search will work in all languages.

I suggest you to change the Language and Region to English (United States), United States to explore Cortana.

You may follow below steps to perform the same.

• Press windows key + x
• Open Control Panel.
• If you’re in the standard view, open Clock, Language, and Region and then click Region.
• In Region change the following settings:
  • Go to Formats tab and set format as English (United States).
  • Go to Location tab and set Home Location as United States.
  • Go to Administrative tab and set Current System Locale to English (United States).

4. In Clock, Language, and Region, click Languages and make sure English (United States) is set as your primary language. If you don’t have the language install, click on Add a language, search for English (United States), install
it, and set it as your primary.

5. Re-boot your computer and you should now be able to use Cortana outside of the US.

Hope these information helps, please get back to us for future support, we’ll be glad to assist you further.
