Language setting problem in windows 10, any advise?

[momtaz]

Recently we upgraded all desktop PCs to windows 10 at office.
everything looks alright, but the only first start to annoying impact was the language setting problem,
As per the long journey with Microsoft old versions till the recent one "windows 10" that was mostly used for several years,

Usually: I can chat on skype: French language, open and type a word document in English, chat Line in other language,
every frame (work environment) keeps the specific language as long as the working frame still kept running on, without needing to click on the task bar and switch the target language,

Now, in the new windows 10 version, this setting is not effective, once English is set for any working frame, effects all other frames, or I have to adjust the language bar in each frame and every time, and that's a lot of wasting of time...!!
anyone of you experienced the same issue? and knows the solution of this language issue?
many thanks in advance!

Not sure if an issue for you but most Windows 10 sold in this region is single language only (and stated so - but not clear what they mean). So you can make one choice of operating system language and then have one more for routine usage. Perhaps it still allows others but with the need to do what you must do now?

As said have no idea if this is your problem or not - but this single language version is a real issue for some people. And it is not well documented.

"Windows key" + Space should cycle round the available language options so at least you can change fairly easily.

I don't really understand your question, but here's something you can try.

When you click on the language button, or Windows + tab., click on language preferences.

I'm running W 10 and I can add as many languages as I want to. Right now, I've got English, Thai and German installed.

If you like to have a different keyboard, please click on the language you want to type and set it as default language.

If you don't have the French language pack, just click on add and you can download it for free.

I hope I wasn't completely off now. Could you be a little bit more precise?

Hey Crossy, this was an easier solution partially, but not yet the ultimate solution as the previous windows 7 does,

Thanks anyway, appreciate it.

lostinisaan, there is no problem in adding languages,

I will try to explain the issue a bit more:

My default language is English, let's say I start working on a document in word (typing in English)

and simultaneously I started a chat conversation in Skype with my friend (xxx language) I do select the setting of the language,

when ever I click the cursor in the word file, the language auto set to be English or any that I set,

at the same time whenever I click the cursor into Skype chat box, the language automatically adjusted to the language that I selected, and so on in Line and other working frames,

In conclusion, on windows7, I can work in several working frames with several languages simultaneously, but every frame got closed, and opened again, the language set to be English as the default windows language,

e.g: if I set the chat in French in skype, once I get the chat box closed and open again, the language setting will be auto adjusted to the windows language,

I knew and working with this setting since the old years of Windows XP,

I hope the issue was explained clearly.

thanks for the interaction !

This is an instruction for W8 http://www.howtogeek.com/167188/set-windows-8-to-per-application-input-language-mode/ worth trying for W10

Yea, that should fix the OP's problem.

I went into my Win 10 settings following above instructions for Win 8 and it shows the Win 10 default is not set to "Let Me set a different input method for each app window" which I assume means it will not remember a language change in an app when I reopen it...instead it will default back to my primary language. See below for how my Win 10 was set.

However, many thanks once again !
