![]() I still have this stubborn "English (United Kingdom)" language that won't go away. But that did not have the effect I was hoping for. That did give me the privilege (handle) to "Remove" it from the Settings app. That gave me three different "languages" in system tray, one of which was "United Kingdom keyboard" (language!?). In an attempt to get a handle on "English (United Kingdom)" I tried to add "English (United Kingdom)" in the Settings app where there was none. It does list both of these English variants though. If "English (United Kingdom)" is not found in the Settings app, then where do I find it? Where does Windows get the idea from that I want "English (United Kingdom)" in addition to "English (United Kingdom)"? I checked the old Control Panel options already, as far as I can tell, it's not possible to add or remove keyboard layouts or "languages" that way, like in the old days. But here we have Windows 10, failing English, in year 2021. ![]() Let's not forget the "MUI" packages for Windows and Office that were only reserved for privileged few customers who payed enough money to access these premium features. Windows has always been confusing when it comes to foreign language support for as long as I can remember. I can only speculate and make educated guesses on what's going on here. Can you make sense of what Windows is saying here? I can't, and my understanding of English is pretty good if I may say so myself, even though it's not my first language. Unfortunately, this is not English, this is something else. I do prefer it when Windows talks English. The "preferred languages" language is "English (United States)" and the "Windows display language" is "English (United States)". It only displays "English (United States)". For starters, Windows never heard of "English (United Kingdom)". So I thought I would make this hot little feature more useful by adding some additional languages so that I can communicate in a few more additional languages instead of being stuck on English with Swedish keyboard. Still, nothing is changed by any of this if I have two "languages" called "Swedish keyboard"! I know it's a keyboard layout, but OK, I will play along. I see it's now called "input languages switching". You can turn this feature off or change your hot key sequence by selecting Customize." "Typing Left Alt + Shift changes your input language. The "Input Switch Notification" knows this. If I really feel like entertaining myself in this way, I can even do so explicitly using the hotkey Alt+Shift. So if I use the hotkey Win+Space I am merely entertaining myself, it's not doing anything useful, it just switches my keyboard layout from Swedish to Swedish and back to Swedish again. Both of these two "languages" are set to use "Swedish keyboard". These "languages" are accessible from the system tray. (I will play along and pretend for a minute that I'm a complete idiot and I don't know what constitutes a language or a Windows locale). ![]() I have a recently installed Windows 10 (build 19043.1110) here on my PC with the following two. If you're reading this message, it means I have given up or I am close to giving up on this Windows problem. ![]()
