In this tutorial, you will learn how to change the news language in the News and Interests panel for the displayed content and its sources. The News and Interests panel, which came with Windows 10 with the May OS updates, offers not only a lot of useful information, but also quite good flexibility in terms of settings. Users can personalize the panel to suit their needs and preferences, select different blocks of information, and change the language of the displayed content.
Please note that at the time of this writing, Microsoft is still rolling out the news and interests feature to Windows 10 users, which means that not everyone has access to it even after installing the latest cumulative updates. If you have already installed the May updates, but the panel is still not there, please wait some more time.
