Language Pack Windows 10

Language packs installed using Windows Update provide a fully translated version of Windows dialog boxes, menu items, and help content. All the languages available for this type of download have 'Windows Update' listed in the right column of the table below. After you download a language pack and activate it, the Windows 10 operating system is translated into that language. Depending on the language, either the entire operating system is translated or only part of it. When no translation is available, Windows 10 uses English to display the elements that haven’t been translated by Microsoft.

The full language packs were provided for free by Microsoft in the earlier Operating Systems like Windows 7 language packs but now you have to buy the full language pack from Microsoft if you want to install it. The language interface packs are still provided free of charge.

Download a language pack

Using Windows Update, you can install a language pack for languages other than your own. After you download a language pack and activate it, the Windows 10 operating system is translated into that language. Depending on the language, either the entire operating system is translated or only part of it. When no translation is available, Windows 10 uses English to display the elements that haven’t been translated by Microsoft.

In order to install a language pack, you need to first install the keyboard input language. Once the keyboard input language is installed, you can use only the new language to type. In order to translate the entire operating system, follow these steps to install the language pack:

  1. Open Settings.

    The list of time- and language-related settings appears.

  6. Find the Download button in the Language Options section.

  7. Click the Download button to begin the installation.

    Be patient, as the download takes a while.

    When the install is complete, you receive a message to that effect.

  8. Close the Settings window.

At Step 4, the languages which have a language pack available to download and install are marked by a line of text that says: “Language pack available”. If a language pack isn’t mentioned as being available for a particular language, then you can’t download a language pack for it. You can use that language only as a keyboard input language, not as a display language.
