Windows 10: My office programms will be displayed in English, although the setting is set to german.

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen, last week Friday, my microsoft office has been reinstalled from our local IT deparment. Since then, all my microsoft programms will be displayed in English, although the language is set to german as preferred. When I change the language to any other language, then the programm will change the display but not for german. All the changes I can perform on my side has all set to German, however still English interface. Please let me know what to do and how I can change it back to German. Thank you!

I've already gone through the steps suggested. Maybe I overlooked something. Setting menus still display in German not English...

Thanks for your input...

After Win 10 Update Display language changed from english to german, cannot set to english

Now it's much better.

At some point the option to download the language pack in English became available. So I downloaded and installed it.

Now almost everything of the Windows 10 display language is in English. Except on the Start Menu. The choice "Settings" and only this one, remained in German

So for me on the Start Menu "Settings" is "Einstellungen".

 

How to convert a German Windows, German keyboard to an English Windows with Danish keyboard

Hi

Welcome to Microsoft community.

Yes, you can convert your PC from German to English and also change the keyboard layout to Danish. Here are the steps:

1. Change the Display Language:
   
   • Go to Settings > Time & Language > Language.
     
   • Under "Preferred languages", click on "Add a language".
     
   • Search for "English (United States)" or whichever version of English you prefer, and add it.
     
   • Click on the English language option you just added and select "Set as default".
     
   • Windows might need to download a language pack to complete this change, which it will do automatically. You will need to restart your computer to apply these changes fully.
     
2. Change the System Locale:
   
   • Go to Control Panel > Clock, Language, and Region > Region.
     
   • Go to the "Administrative" tab and click on "Change system locale".
     
   • Choose "English (United States)" or your preferred version of English and click "OK". You'll need to restart your computer to apply these changes.
     
3. Change the Keyboard Layout:
   
   • Go to Settings > Time & Language > Language.
     
   • Under "Preferred languages", click on English and then "Options".
     
   • Under "Keyboards", click on "Add a keyboard".
     
   • Search for the Danish keyboard layout and add it.
     
   • You can remove the German keyboard layout by clicking on it and then "Remove".
     

Regarding the physical keyboard, it's not necessary to buy a new one. The keyboard layout settings in Windows determine which characters are entered when you press keys on your keyboard, not the physical keyboard itself. However, if you find it confusing to use a Danish layout with a German physical keyboard (since the keys won't match the characters they produce), you might consider getting a Danish keyboard or keyboard stickers.

Please let me know if you need any further assistance. Thank you.
