Windows 10: Windows insider email set to the wrong language

My system language is English and I working in China. Why has the recent insider email from Microsoft sent to me in Japanese? I expect it to be in English, also how can I read the latest insider email in English?

Windows 8.1 update changed the language, can't change back

Maybe, these will help... it seems it is a common enough problem.

Language packs are no longer available after you upgrade to Windows 8.1

And, sort of the same here --> Add a language or keyboard

Quote from above MS web page:

Spoiler Download and install language packs
You'll need to download the language pack if you want to make a language your Windows display language (that's the language you see most often in Windows and apps).

• Swipe in from the right edge of the screen, tap Settings, and then tap Change PC settings.
  (If you're using a mouse, point to the lower-right corner of the screen, move the mouse pointer up, click Settings, and then click Change PC settings.)
• Tap or click Time and language, and then tap or click Region and language.
• Tap or click a language that says Language pack available underneath, and then tap or click Options.
• Tap or click Download. The download process might take a while, depending on your PC and the size of the language pack.
  If you want to make this your display language, see the next section "Change your Windows display language".

Change your Windows display language
To change your Windows display language (that's the language you see most often in Windows and apps), first add a language, download and install the language pack, and then follow these steps.

• Swipe in from the right edge of the screen, tap Settings, and then tap Change PC settings.
  (If you're using a mouse, point to the lower-right corner of the screen, move the mouse pointer up, click Settings, and then click Change PC settings.)
• Tap or click Time and language, and then tap or click Region and language.
• Tap or click the language that you want to set as your display language.
• Tap or click Set as primary to move the language to the top of the list. If the language can become your Windows display language, you'll see Will be display language after next sign-in appear under the language.
• Sign out and then sign back in to finish.

English Language Pack wrong for Windows Settings

Hi,

I'm having a strange issue on my new laptop.

The laptop comes with Windows 10 Pro and after the first start has been correctly updated to version 1607 (OS Build 14393.969)

Originally the OS started with Italian language but I'm more used to work with the OS in English so I proceeded to change the default OS language.

• I installed the "English (United States)" language pack from "Windows Settings - Speech, Region, Date - Languages"
• Selected English as default language
• Rebooted

After reboot everything seemed to be OK with the exception of the "Windows Settings" app itself.

A good part of the text is, in fact, wrong.

As an example under:

• Windows Update, recovery, backup the left side menu panel has as second option "Storage overview" instead of "Windows Defender", of course if I select it the "Windows Defender" options appear on the right side panel
• SImilarly it says:
  • "Hardware Keyboard Layout" instead of "Backup"
  • "Windows Update" instead of "Recovery"
  • "Use Developer

Another strange problem is that in more than one settings page, the text of the last options in the right side panel is clearly wrong.

As an example, in "Speech, Region, Date - Region" the last 3 lines of text instead of being

• Title: "Related Settings"
• Setting 1: "Additional date, time & regional settings"
• Setting 2: "Add clocks for different time zones"

are wrong and say

• Title: "Change product key or upgrade your edition of windows"
• Setting 1: "Device manager"
• Setting 2: "Additional date, time & regional settings"

Of course if I select one of the two options the correct settings window appear

In Italian language everything is OK

I have already tried to uninstall and reinstall English language pack with no useful result

I have used the same procedure in the past on two different PCs without any problem

Any help/suggestion?

Best Regards

Paolo
