Windows 10 provides great flexibility when configuring the desktop. You can configure your computer for multiple languages and multiple locations. This is especially important for international companies that deal with customers in more than one country or users who live in a country in which more than one language is spoken. Windows 10 also provides accessibility options that allow you to make the operating system easier to use.
How to Configure and Troubleshoot Regional and Language Options
Open Settings.Click on Time & Language
Click on Region
In the “Region” section, you can set your correct location.
In the “Regional format” section, you can decide if Windows 10 should configure date and time formats based on your language and regional settings.
In the “Regional format data” section, click the Change data formats link.
Select your language options:Calendar.First day of the week.Short date.Long date.Short time.Long time.Currency.
Regional And Language Options, available from Date, Time, Language, And Regional Options in Settings, define the standards and formats that the computer uses to perform calculations; provide information such as date and time; and display the correct format for currency, numbers, dates, and other units. These settings also define a user‘s location, which enables help services to provide local information such as news and weather. Language options define the input languages (one computer can accept input in many different languages); therefore, the computer must be configured with the proper settings.
In many instances, users need to add a region or an input language because they travel, work, or live in two different countries or regions; an input language needs to be added because users who share a computer speak different languages; or a currency, time, and date need to be changed temporarily on a user’s laptop while he is on a business trip.

A user might want you to add a language if he works in or travels between two or more countries that use different languages and he needs to work in those languages or perform calculations With the currencies in those countries. With multiple languages configured, the user can toggle between them as needed. In addition, users might want to change language settings even if they do not travel because they do work with an international group or conduct business with other countries.
