Perhaps many of you were unaware of this news, but Cortana not only speaks our language in the version of Windows 10 that we own. If we have a computer acquired in another country or simply an oversight in an update has affected the language of your assistant, with this guide you can modify it to your liking.
It's been a long time since the language of Windows and its applications can be altered by famous language packs (MUIs). As the system language does not directly affect the wizard, which is initially established in the installation of the equipment, the situation may arise of having the operating system in Spanish and the language of Cortana in English. A flaw in our understanding in the user experience that we will learn to correct manually.
Thanks to the following tutorial we will teach you how to change Cortana's language manually with a fully reversible process. At any time and without using third-party tools we can re-establish the language used by the operating system and the assistant language in different languages. A possibility that Microsoft has taken into account when responding to different users who would like to alter the configuration of their computers in this regard.
First of all we must download the package with the desired language on our computer, since otherwise it is not possible to change Cortana's settings. For this we will use the Windows 10 system options. Once this is done, you must follow the steps that we indicate:
-
We will open the search menu located on the Start bar of the computer, next to the Windows button, or we will press the combination of Windows keys + S to be able to access it.
-
Now, we will select the configuration icon (which is shaped like a gear) on the left side of the menu that opens showing Cortana's options.
-
The first option allows the activation of the wizard itself, which is executed by activating the slider. The one that interests us in this case is the second, that makes it possible to select the language you want to use with Cortana using a drop-down menu, always among those who are installed in our system.
-
Lastly, we will choose the desired one and, from this moment on, we will be able to use our assistant in a normal way, both in text and voice options.
That is how simple Microsoft has made it possible to enjoy the experience of its virtual assistant Cortana in several languages at the same time.
