Windows Server 2012R2 Evaluation iso defaults to Chinese

When I try to install Windows server 2012R2 from the iso evaluation, it defaults to Chinese. I am correctly choosing English, and it has happened on multiple attempts. This is happening for both x86 and x64 installs. Any feedback is appreciated.

I'm a teacher and some of my student report getting the Chinese Win2012R2 ISO when trying to download the US English version from their geographical places all over Sweden.

This have been ongoing since April 2021 and still happens.

They all start here:

Hi @JaredMar-7857,

Could you provide screenshots of your issue to get a better understanding?

Do you mean that the language in the following screen has the Chinese language only?

I just downloaded the Windows Server 2012 R2 ISO (I chose the English language), and it is working properly during setup.

Direct link to the download:
