    HelloI'm trying to install Armenian NLS national language support on my Windows 10.while installing an error appears with the massage:"File "arialam.ttf" is in use by a running application. please, close all applications and click "retry".but no application is open. I tried to close some apps with task manager but that did not solve the problem.then I removed the Arial Armenian font from my computer, that didn't solve the issue either. How can I fix this issue? thank you in advance.

    :)

    Keyboard error occurred after failed attempt to install language pack

    Hi,

    The question is that if you have any extra keyboards installed say language for it, (side note: if you have EN-US as the default windows display language you can still add the EN-GB keyboard to it and remove the EN-US one.) So to see what you have currently:

    1st Go to Settings

    4th Click on the language you have as default and select options.

    5th Check what keyboards you have installed from the list

    6th if its the wrong language one just click on the plus and search for the correct one.

    7th After it is completed downloading the language preference make sure to change the layout from the taskbar.

    A restart might be required, but it might not be essential, report back with further information to this problem.

    Edit: Also sometimes even though you have a configuration of a different language pack it may correct or add an extra pack referred to your current location. which you can see just above the region settings.

    Using word flow keyboard with not supported foreign language

    Using word flow keyboard for fast typing with many foreign languages is impossible. But there is a workaround to use word flow features to create keyboard macros (custom dictionary) for not supported
    language. Here is the steps how to do this:

    A.

    1. Switch to your language
    (Bulgarian in my case) and type the desired word, for example
    клавиатура (“keyboard” in Bulgarian).

    2. Tap the word to select it.

    3. Switch to English and you will see typed word just above the keyboard preceeded by a plus (+клавиатура) and tap on it in order to add it to custom dictionary.

    4. When writing text in your language, enter the first letter and switch to English. Just above the keyboard you will see a list of words starting with this letter. If you want to shorten the list, enter
    two or more letters before switching to English.

    5. Select the word from list by tapping it.

    B.

    1. Open Contacts and create a new entry – for example, enter in the name field the word “keyboard” in Bulgarian клавиатура (or
    any word in language you prefer). In the same field you can enter more words starting with the same letter, for example клавиш (key), капачка (cap) etc.
    Add a space and period (.) after the last word, otherwise it will not be used in dictionary.

    2. When writing text in your language (Bulgarian in my case), enter the first letter
    and switch to English. Just above the keyboard you will see a list of words you’ve entered in step 1. (and any names starting with this letter from your contacts, if you have any). If you want to shorten the list, enter two or more letters before
    switching to English.

    3. Select the word from list by tapping it.

    This way you can speed up typing of common used (long) words in your language.
