Windows 10 supports language packs. By installing one or several language packs, you can switch your Windows display language on-the-fly. It is also possible to have a different display language for each user account. Let's see how it can be done.

Note: This article describes how to install a language pack online. It will be downloaded from the Internet automatically when available. If you need to install a language pack from a *.cab file that you downloaded earlier, refer to the following article instead:

To change display language in Windows 10, do the following.

First of all, you need to add your language to the list of installed languages. It is covered in detail in the previous article 'How To Add a Language in Windows 10'.

Assuming that you have already added the desired language in the list, configure the operating system as described below.

1. Open Settings.
2. Go to Time & Language.
3. On the left, click on the Region & Language.
4. On the right, select the language you want to display Windows 10 in. The Options button will appear under its name. Click it.
5. On the next page, if a language pack is available for the selected language, you'll see the Download button under 'Language options -> Download language pack'.
6. Wait until it is downloaded and return to the previous page.
7. In the list of installed languages, select your language again.
8. Under its name, click the button 'Set as default'.

The selected language will be used as your display language the next time you sign in to your user account. See the following screenshot:

Later, you might change your mind and would want to remove the language pack you installed.

There are two options to do it.

To uninstall a language pack, go to Settings - Time & Language and remove the required language from the list of installed languages. This will remove its language pack too.

Alternatively, you can open a new command prompt window and type the following command.

Replace the locale portion with your language code. For example, for Russian, it is ru-RU.

That's it.

How can I use either CMD or PowerShell to change the display language only, for all users in a Windows 10 Pro?

I would rather avoid using any external ps1 file or batch file. I have seen some solutions that require you to use XML files or a PS1 scripts. But I would prefer if there is a cmdlet or just a couple of commands that can do this without having to download any script files.

Consider using the Set-WinSystemLocale and/or Set-WinUserLanguageListPowerShell cmdlets right from the PowerShell command line or IDE with no script and with a couple simple commands.

Note:Be sure to replace en-US with the language/locale for your need.

OK, now, I am confused. This sounds like you are new to PowerShell and don't know how to do this? That's fine, it happens. But you don't need cmd or PoSH at all to do this. That is what GPO is for. See the pointers below.

However, you are on a PowerShell forum, post a question that says.

I would like to run a command that is not dependent of having a ps1 script if that makes sense..

Sooo. why are you asking this question on a PoSH forum if you don't want to use PoSH, after you specifically asked for a .cmd or .ps1 to do this?

If you don't want to use .cmd or .ps1, then this is not a question for this forum.

So, this leaves you with using some .exe or a GPO. which is a question for another forum.
