About this tag
The localelanguages tag on WindowsForum.com covers issues related to Windows language and locale settings, particularly during upgrades. A recurring theme is the error message 'Your files, apps, and settings can't be kept because you've chosen to install Windows 11 using a different language than you're currently using.' This occurs when the system locale or language pack does not match the installation media, even if the user interface is in English. Users in non-English regions, such as France, may encounter this when attempting to upgrade to Windows 11 24H2. The tag includes discussions about preserving personal data during such upgrades and troubleshooting locale mismatches.
