Forum Discussion
Deleted anu update on this?
Thanks.
Deleted is the default Edge language based on the default app language set under preffered languages or on the Windows display language:
All my machine have English (United States) set as the Windows Display Language which cannot be changed, is this why Edge is picking up English (United States) for its language?
Thanks.
Josh_Carpenter Thank you for the info! I'll bring this back to the team and let you know if they have any insights, or can at least confirm if this is part of the known issue.

(UPDATED with more info.)
Josh_Carpenter Thanks for your patience. The team wanted me to pass along the following info. If this still doesn't address the issue, let me know!1) Did you download MSFT Edge from our website, or did you receive it via a Windows update?
2) It's possible that your admin policy is setting all the PCs to English (United States) not installing the language pack English (United Kingdom). If the language pack was installed and set by company policy, Microsoft Edge should pick up en-gb as the default accept-language and UI language.
3) You can "fix" this in a couple of ways:
- A. Install a version of Windows that has the new MSFT Edge inbox with en-GB as the OS display language
- B. Re-download the new MSFT Edge, making sure that en-GB is the top preferred language in the browser used to download it
- C. Go into edge://settings/languages and manually change the display language
- D. Use Policy to force MSFT Edge to use en-GB as the display language. This will prevent individual users from modifying the display language settings
Hopefully that helps!
