Thanks, but system default would be English in my case, wouldn't it?.

In my case:

Installed Culture Info: en-US
Current UI Culture Info: en-US
Current Culture Info: de-CH

To be in sync with the rest of the OS it would make most sense to choose Current UI Culture.

There's a dropdawn list to choose UI-language.
You can also manually add to settings.json "language": "en-US"

Sure. I should rephrase: "System language" is not correctly establish. It used Current Culture where Current UI culture would be more appropriate.

I think it depends on the version of Windows, more precisely on the language of the system that was chosen at the stage of downloading the image file.

Part of this is the fact that the Termnial isn't translated to de-CH. I believe we do have a de-DE translation, which I would have assumed that the OS would have picked before falling back to en-US, but I might be wrong there. Lemme pull up the mail thread from a few months back.

Oh actually, this might just be a /duplicate of #9466

This is a weird and specific issue with language fallback that I don't totally understand.

The resource loader takes a set intersection of the user's preferred languages and the application's supported languages. When it does that, it is very specific and will only choose languages with a matching country code.

There's no automatic fallback from en_GB to en_US. I also don't know if it would fall back from en_GB to just en. :|

Presumably, same deal for de_CH not falling back to de_DE 😕

I also don't know if it would fall back from en_GB to just `en`. :| Presumably, same deal for `de_CH` not falling back to `de_DE` 😕
