Keyboard Layout

Question

Hello,

I see a lot of language options in the Windows keyboard bar.
But, when I enter the "language preferences" or query through PowerShell, I cannot view these languages.

I want to find the source of these languages displayed in the Windows language bar and remove the languages I don't want.

Thanks in advance

Hi @Andaç Kartal ,

You can remove the languages you don't want by going to Start -> Settings > Time & Language > Language, then select the language from the list and click Remove to remove the language.

Here's also a guide with step-by-step details:

Hi,
When we view the contents of $LanguageList, we'll see the object returned. According to your output, US English is your only chosen keyboard language.

It may be a keyboard layout issue. You could add the language > installed the language (from Windows Update) > adde the keyboards and then removed the keyboard + language and it will be gone.
More details:
Go to systray and open Language preferences. Click Options for each language that has an extra kayboard that you want to remove.

In Keyboards section click Add a keyboard and select a keyboard that appears in your systray and which you want to remove. This adds a new input option for the selected language. After you add the keyboard, click it and click on a Remove button. After that, the keyboard should disappear also from systray.

Also, you could follow these steps:

go to Control Panel -> Language
from the sidebar select "Change date, time, or number formats"
select "Administrative" tab.
in the "Welcome screen and new user accounts" box click "Copy settings.." button
Check the two boxes under "Copy your current settings to"
the windows will ask you to restart

Hope above information can help you.
