I've never seen anything like this before. That's wild. Do you have any other language packs installed? I definitely wouldn't expect this to be possible without the Japanese language pack installed. The language fallback ordering can sometimes be weird... which order does the Language & Region page list the languages? (a screenshot would suffice)

May have to follow up with the loc/i8n team to see what's up here...

Yes, I have the Japanese language pack installed as well as the Chinese language pack.

Here's the screenshot of the language list in settings:

Ok, so after posting the screenshot, I realised that I didn't actually have the en-sg language pack installed so I went ahead and installed that.

It seems to be working properly after installing the language pack:

I assume Windows Terminal was defaulting to Japanese because it's the next one in the list with a language pack installed, but I don't have similar issues with other applications.

@axelandrejs any ideas what's going on in this one?

I suppose it makes sense that the picker would show up in Japanese if the first language in the list didn't actually have the language pack installed. That being said, I would have expected the rest of the OS to be in Japanese too, so idk.

This does seem like it's got a known resolution, so I'm tempted to close it. I think I'll leave this open for a while longer to see if anyone's got any ideas why this works the way it does, but I'm not sure there's much else for the Terminal to do here.

We do support partial localization for high-value strings without the need for a full language pack being installed. Though it is odd that this UI wouldn't fall under that bucket. I can see about finding out, but yes without the language pack installed the experience is going to be torn.

Huh. Well, sounds like enough of an answer to me. Thanks Axel!
