On the Language settings page, you need to scroll down a bit. In addition to the Windows display language there is a section labelled Preferred languages, which controls the translation of applications and websites. Make sure that you have English (United States) in that list (not just any other variant of English), and that it is higher up the list than Russian.

There is also a setting in Windows Terminal itself which can override the language. It's the first option in the Appearance section. And note that you'll need to restart Windows Terminal for the change to take affect.

I did not have Us English in a list but added just now. My list looks like: Polish > Ukrainian > Russian.
I do not have any problems with other software, would be nice if 3rd language will not be selected.

I did this change as well, but as i said i do not expect that app will select 3rd language from the list rather system language or app language.

Not all applications are available in every language, which is why the operating system lets you specify a list of language preferences. In the case of Windows Terminal, there isn't a Polish or Ukrainian translation yet, but there is a Russian translation. And by including Russian in the Preferred languages list, but not including English, you're telling the system that you prefer Russian over English.

Also note that there is an issue tracking requests for additional translations (#10667). Polish has already been requested, but if you'd also like to see a Ukrainian translation (or anything else), feel free add a comment on that issue.

Thanks @j4james 😄

@ViktorDronov This is really good feedback that we will take to the Windows localization team. Unfortunately, there isn't anything Terminal can do about it right now: because we are relying on Windows' built in support for localized applications, we are unfortunately tied to how they choose to handle your "preferred" list.
