  2. Language for non-Unicode programs > Change System Locale

    Thanks for your time and troubles taken, Karthicka_R.

    Went through the steps 1 to 5 and then 7.

    After restarting, checked; still, Tamil is not found in the list of languages for 'Change System Locale'.

    (In fact, I had done this before raising this query. On reading your reply, I removed Tamil and went through the steps as listed above in my reply. Since the language pack was already installed, I didn't have to do the step-5; the screen also indicated that
    the language pack is already there.)

    Regards

    Changing System Font

    Any suggestions on changing the system font? Using Windows 11. No matter how I attempt to change the system font, my operating system will not change. I have followed the procedures listed for changing the registry as well as going to the system settings and continuing with personalization.

    * Changed to a question

    How Do I Change My System Locale?

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    I would require some more information to assist you better.

    • What was the base language of the previous operating system?
    Since you had kept the system locale as English before the upgrade you might now not be able to change the locale now in Windows 10. You have to install Japanese language pack and then you would be able to change the system locale.

    I would suggest you to refer to the article provided by Andre De costa:

    Redirecting

    Hope this helps in resolving the issue. If issue persists, do get back to us. We will be happy to assist you.

    Thank you.
