The thread discusses a user experiencing language discrepancies after installing a German version of Windows 8, with most features in English but some elements like the lock screen remaining in German. The support suggests installing language packs, but the user clarifies they've already done so and the issue persists. The helper then speculates that a complete reinstall with the correct language version might be necessary to resolve the issue entirely.

I previously got windows 8, I accidentally installed the German version, it took me about a hour to figure out how to change the language. Once I changed it, mostly everything's in English, but some things like the lock screen is still in German! this is getting pretty annoying. I was just trying to find out if theirs a way to fix this. PLEASE HELP!!!

It might be the case that to have everything in English you need to install an os with the correct default language?
