Changing the keyboard language in Windows 11 can be essential for multilingual users or those who prefer a different input method. Here's a detailed guide on how to seamlessly switch and, if needed, remove keyboard languages on your Windows 11 system.
How To Change Keyboard Language in Windows.
In the initial setup of Windows 11, you'll be prompted to select your primary keyboard language, which will serve as the default setting for your computer. Nevertheless, the Windows Settings app provides a straightforward method to change this language repertoire by installing additional keyboard languages. This allows you to seamlessly switch between different languages.
Below are the steps that you need to follow to add another language to your keyboard:
Step 1: Open Windows Settings, Click on the Start menu, and select the gear-shaped icon for "Settings."
Step 2: In the Settings window, choose "Time & Language" from the left sidebar and select Language & Region.
Step 3: Under the "Preferred languages" section, click on "Add a language."
Step 4: Scroll through the list of available languages, select the one you want to add, and click "Next."
Step 5: If the language supports multiple keyboard layouts, choose the specific layout you prefer and click "Install."
Step 6: Once installed, you can set the newly added language as the default by clicking on it and selecting "Set as default."
Step 7: To change the keyboard language while typing, press the "Windows key + Spacebar" to cycle through the installed languages or you can click the language icon in the taskbar to choose the language you want to use.
Quick Tip: You can enable the Language Bar for quick access to language settings. In Language settings, go to "Advanced keyboard settings" and turn on the "Use the desktop language bar when it's available." (alert-success)
