Reset a previous language on my PC

I wanted to install a russian keyboard and by mistake I switched on the russian language all my PC. Now, I can't reset it to the original language (italian), because all instructions are now in Russian and in cyrillic alphabet. Any suggestion?

Hi @ErosNMellini-1451,

Changing the display language involves a few steps:

In English:

1. Select Start > Settings > Time & Language > Language.

2. Choose a language from the Windows display language menu.


In Russian:

1. Выберите Пуск (Start) > Параметры (Settings) > Время и язык (Time & Language) > Язык (Language).

2. Выберите язык в меню языка интерфейса Windows.
(Choose a language from the Windows display language menu)


I've bolded the important words in both English and Russian to help you find the appropriate settings. To make things easier, you can simply identify the icons of each step:

1. Select Start.

2. Settings.

3. Time & Language.

4. Language.

5. Display Language.

The drop down menu will show you the list of display languages.

You can also compare the English version with the Russian version to identify what these steps mean:

Hi,

If you can't read the current language, you can go through the steps below:
Press Win + I on your keyboard to open Settings. From the list of categories, click Time & Language; the icon is a clock with a few other characters under it.
Next, select Language on the left sidebar, which has the same two characters from the earlier icon. Under Preferred Languages on the right side, click Add a language, which will appear above any installed languages.
A long list of available languages will pop up. These all appear both in their native language and in the current system language. This way, even if the system is in a language you don't know, you can still find your preferred language on the list.
Hope above information can help you.
