Answer 1

HI,

You can disable in windows (search for location). You can prevent automatic language updates based on the device’s language settings. Keep in mind that this will only apply to apps listed in the “Choose apps that can use your location” section.

Other apps, such as browsers or desktop programs, may still determine your location using your IP address and other basic information

Answer 2

Hello,

There is a Platforms\Windows\Package.appxmanifest file of your MAUI project, you can edit the Resource to support English only. (Or other language)

<Resources>
    <Resource Language="en-US"/>
</Resources>

For more details, please refer to Localization - .NET MAUI | Microsoft Learn

Best Regards,

Wenyan Zhang
