    Hi YOLANDA TROYANO RODRIGUEZ,

    Thank you for your question. You can use Spanish across Windows 11 by adjusting a few simple settings. These options will allow you to control the system language, keyboard input, and training content independently:

    Option 1: Change Windows 11 display language to Spanish - This updates menus, system settings, and dialogs.

    • Open Settings > Time & language > Language & region
    • Under Windows display language, select Español
    • If Spanish is not listed, choose Add a language, install Español, then sign out and back in

    Option 2: Add Spanish keyboard / input language - This allows typing in Spanish without changing the full system language.

    • Open Settings > Time & language > Language & region
    • Under Preferred languages, add Español
    • Select Language options and add a Spanish keyboard
    • Switch input languages using Win + Space

    Option 3: View Microsoft Learn training in Spanish

    Microsoft Learn supports language switching for supported modules, including the Natural Language Processing unit.

    • Open the training page: Text and natural language – Microsoft Learn
    • Scroll to the top or bottom of the page
    • Use the language selector (shown as English / en‑us)
    • Select Español to reload the content in Spanish (when available)

    Changing the Windows language does not automatically change the language used on websites or browsers. Each setting is managed separately for flexibility.

    To use Spanish as the language in Windows 11, set it as the Windows display language and (optionally) as the input/keyboard language.

    1. Open Settings (press Windows + I).
    2. Select Time & language.
    3. Select Language & region.
    4. Under Preferred languages, add Spanish if it is not listed:
      • Select Add a language.
      • Search for Spanish (for example, Spanish (Spain) or Spanish (Mexico)), select it, and complete the install.
    5. After it is added, under Windows display language, choose the Spanish variant just installed.
    6. Sign out and sign back in if prompted so Windows uses Spanish for menus and dialogs.

    To make Spanish the default input (keyboard) language for typing:

    1. In Language & region, ensure Spanish is in Preferred languages.
    2. Select the Spanish language, then Options, and add the desired Spanish keyboard layout if needed.
    3. Move Spanish to the top of Preferred languages so it is used by default for input.

    If the logon screen or new accounts still show another language, use the Administrative language settings in Region (Control Panel) to copy the current language settings to the Welcome screen and system accounts and New user accounts, similar to the steps described for setting Spanish as default input language.
