Answer 3

Thank you for the reply.

In the language pack, you must add a French Keyboard layout. Have you done that?

You can click Language options > Add a keyboard.

Answer 4

I can ONLY type in a few languages even though I have all of the language packs installed. I tested in Notepad. Example; I have French language pack installed, I can preview the voice but not type in French. Uninstall, reinstall makes no difference.

You can type with those languages for which you have a keyboard installed.

Adding an input language lets you set a language-preference order for websites and apps, as well as change your keyboard language.

Select the Start > Settings > Time & language > Language & region.

Select the language that has the keyboard you want, then select Options.

Select Add a keyboard and choose the keyboard you want to add. If you don't see the keyboard you want, you may have to add a new language to get additional options. If this is the case, go on to step 4.

Return to the Language settings page, go to Preferred languages, then select Add a language.

Choose the language you want to use from the list, then select Next.

Review any language features you want to set up or install, and select Install.

I hope this helps.
