Widows 10 - french Canada language pack mix 50% with english....

Hi Lemire,

Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

I understand that you are facing issues with language in your system.


Follow the below suggestions and check if it helps:

Step 1:Change Clock, Language and region.

Follow the steps to select default language:

• • 
    In the search box, type
    Control Panel.
    
  • 
    Select Clock, Language and Region.
    
  • 
    Select French.
    

If French is not available in the list then Click on
Add Language and select French from the list and make it your preferred language.

Step 2: Also To confirm the settings are set correctly:

1. Open Settings. Select Time& language, and then
Region & Language.

2. Check the Language (set as default)
setting for your Windows display language. If your desired language is not available, add your desired language:

• Select the desired locale, which is the language/country combination.
• Click on the newly selected locale and select
  Options.

Where is French Canada Cortana?

So I contact the support and we did some stuffs :

1. We installed the french language pack.

Support agent said me that I will be able to keep English display, but french language pack will allow Cortana to work in french.

Result : All was in french (display too). Cortana was kind of ok, but had a weird robotic voice when it was reading about learning to understand me blablabla. It was very strange.

2. I re-added English US display on top of the list.

Result : All was in English

3. I added French Canada on top of the list again, but without restarting the computer.

Result : Apps were in french like normally, MS Edge was in french (finally), display was in English like I wanted and Cortana was a mix of two languages. Cortana was welcoming me in English, but I was able to ask her some things in french and she was answering
in french. But it was a bit broken and I needed to restart the computer...

So I remove the french language pack to see... And Cortana was back to English Canada again.

The solutions :

Wait for a fix from Microsoft to make Cortana available in other language than the display language.

Or manage with a french display computer (which is harder when you try to explain something to foreign people, because you don't need to remember the name of this thing in English).

 

Canada French Keyboard CAFR no more in new Windows 10 1903

Hi Ricardo

First, thank you.

It used to be listed that way in previous version of Windows 10... In the one I have (1903), they are a lot more langages, all are listed alphabetically, and in C (for Canada) it goes from "burmese" to "Catalon"

All language are now listed by their name like "French", then the countries...

The only language option I have is French Canada who install both French Canada CMS (not the righ one) and French Canada Multilingual. Neither suit.

So i thing there are no way to get this way French Canada CAFR...

I know it is silly to have similar names for differents settings...

So I need another way to get back this CAFR....
