Right-click Start and select Settings > Time & language > Language & region. Click Add a language. In the pop-up, select the language you want to install and then click Next at the bottom. Click Install to install the new language.
Depending on your internet speed, it could take a few minutes to install the new language. If you’re unsure as to how fast your internet goes, you can use websites that test your internet speed for free and see how high you can get it.
