Windows 10: What language should I set here to show as "ENG" in the tray, not ENG US/ENG UK?

Weird question but I had this on my old laptop and I want to change the language so it would say only ENG instead of ENG UK/US and it won't switch randomly or switch when pressing the alt+shift bind I assume
Thanks! :

Language settings set UK but spell check uses US

Win 10 Home. ver 1909 build 18363.476

I have language settings set to default English UK in the language section of settings - time and language.

However when I type an email in Gmail it spell checks to US language e.g. colour suggests color.

Is there another setting somewhere I have missed?

Windows Display Language is ignored when set in language Settings

Hello all

I have set my display language to English (South Africa) in "settings - language"




however, when I click "administrative language settings", then copy, it shows English UK as the display language.
English UK is not even listed as an option in the Display language drop down.
English UK is also the language of the lock screen according to the Administrative settings.





How can I fix this? I tried installing a different language (English US), uninstalling English (South Africa), then reversing the process, but it still goes back to English UK!!

A secondary effect of this is that Windows then shows the language toolbar on the taskbar, giving me the option to choose English UK as the language/keyboard combination!
