The text in MS Edge suddenly turned to another language

Ronald Sandell 20

Hello: I have two questions. 1. Is this the correct place to send questions?1. PROBLEM: This afternoon all text offline on MS Edge suddenly turned from English to another language. Can you help and return Edge to English. I think that I have reviewed all bar lines and to the best of my knowledge everything is set for English. There is one bar where a second language can be added but I don't need a second language, so I don't use this option.1. I'm 77 and have very knowledge about computers so I'm embarrassed to ask: Where do I go to get responses If there are any? Thank you

Hi Ronald,

I'm Sumit, here to answer your query at the Microsoft Q&A.

Apologies for any inconvenience you are experiencing. I am happy to help you today.

Yes, this is the correct place - we the home consumers support recently shifted here :)

I am not sure if I correctly understood. Did the display language change? Please copy and paste the following address:

edge://settings/languages

Then, Please press the Windows key + Shift + S keys to open the Snipping Tool.

Snip the area of the page. After this, the screen snip is copied to your clipboard.

Finally, Press CTRL+V in the Reply editor to paste the screenshot.

I look forward to your response and am eager to collaborate until we find a solution.

Hello Sumit: Thank you for your reply. I don't have knowledge of how to reply so hopefully you receive this. You requested something from Clipboard with kind instructions. You requested a I use CTRL-V with the Reply Editor. On the Clipboard page, Microsoft basically blocked access. It required something very simple [last 4 digits of my phone and if correct it would send a text code and I add the code (I've done this many times. For this I never received the text. After about 3 minutes waiting for code that wasn't received, I request the code again. Same result in 4 tries. I imagine this is a result of Microsoft confiscating my email starting in my first week. I was told many times it belong to an other account (the iPhone number has been mine for the past 10-12 I;m furious that Microsoft is harassing me with no explanation. So, I'm unable to get access to not being able to signin to get the information. I'm furious. Hence, I'm unable due to Microsoft to prove Clipboard images using CTRL+V. I have two images saved by using Snipping Tool. Micrsoft rejected because only one was allowed. If you have suggestions to get the images, I'll try anything. You are also welcome to take control of my laptop and see that almost every related to Microsoft Edge is in a foreign language. Hence is preventing me from completed things I need to do. You have been wonderful and very patient. Ronald Sandell

The "See the Answer" FAQ's don't even address the problem. It was somewhat insulting that Microsoft would even send these. They are simply stock answers completely unrelated to the problem Microsoft created in Microsoft Edge to turn everything into a foreign language. Perhaps getting response from a person instead of a stupid robot would help. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES DO I ACCEPT THIS TRASH AS "ACCEPTED ANSWERS"

Hi Ronald,

Hi Sumit - You keep sending the same post to a post several times as if they are new answers.

I have zero idea what this glitch is. I responded only once and have not responded since. THis is because my notifications were turned off.

Here is a screenshot:

The reply box is working since you sent me the response related to duplicates.

Again, back to your issue - is the display language now OK?

Answer 2

Hi Sumit - You keep sending the same post to a post several times as if they are new answers. The email you receently sent as answers is just two Posts by me with comments. The Post is only your orignal contact with me and two of my posts for two posts that you sent as answers. I'm sorry that I know so little or nothinng. I've never done Posting so I do not know how to do it. You were very kind on the first day we spoke. I thought you would help. My sincere apologies. I just don't know what I'm doing. At 77 I have major health problem and I can't keep up with everything that Microsoft wants done by end of June. The major stress that Microsoft is piling on me is devastating. Microsoft has thousands of people to help. I'm all alone and know nothing about setting up a Passkeys on my phone let alone using one. Today Massive amount or work are piling on me to redo all passwords. I have about 40 accounts to do passwords (Electricity, Phone, Water, Amazon, Lowes, Depot, HVAC, etc, etc.). I than you for all of you kindness.

Answer 3

Hello Sumit. Thank you for your kind efforts. I don't have knowledge of how to reply. However, it does not solve the problem that was created by MS Edge by putting all words in a foreign language. The most important people to solve the crisis is going to people at Edge. Regarding the Reply Editor, it has disappeared from Clipboard. If there is to add another Reply Editor, I'll do what I can. But the stress from all of this has had devestating medical issues for me and I can't do much it's pain all day. If the in another way to get you the sample (such as attachment or something else) I do anything I can to solve this problems. I can't even communicate with my speciast or pharmasist. Please let me know if we can recreate Reply Editor. I'll desperately do what I am medically capable of doing. As a reminder i am not very computer knowledgeable. I only know how to send and receive emails. I sincerely apologize. I feel very fortunate that I working with you and you are so nice. Ron Sandell

Answer 4

Hello Sumit -- Thank you very mcuh for the reply. However, it does not solve the problem that was created by MS Edge makes my ability to read any website as MS Edge has translated the English on any website into a foreign language. The most important person to contact is someone in MS Edge. Regarding the Retry Editor it has mysterially disappeared. If there is another way to get a small sample of what a website looks. If you wish to take control of my laptop, you will get a much better view of the massive scope of damage the MS Edge has caused. I'll do whatever I can to solve the issue as I am very desperate and it is preventing me from communicating my my doctor and pharmasist, among countless others. This stress of what MS Edge has done to me has skyrocked severity of pain 24/7. Please let me now if we can recreate Retry Editor or get you somthing such as an attachment. As a reminder,I am not very knowledgeable about things like this. I only know how to send and receive email. For that I am extremely embarrassed and apologetic. Thank you very much. Ron Sandell
