What is the difference between region and language settings?


Users are quite confused when they change the region and the output language remains the same!



Info:

This difference not only causes confusion among Microsoft Windows PC users, but also with Samsung smartphones, Apple's Mac, or Linux users.



The regional settings!



With the regional setting  only the   date, time, currency and units of measurement are changed  , which are then used by the system, as well as the decimal point  , which is different in each country. These are also responsible for the sort order of texts that are used in a certain country or region.

The language settings!



If the language settings are changed, the entire operating system (as far as possible or translated) is displayed in the selected language. The language in menus, dialogs, windows, help files and text is changed within your operating system.   

Also known as installed display language (Language Interface Pack, LIP), also known as Multilingual User Interface Packs (MUI).  

Tip:  Under Windows you can define different languages ​​for each user account !

What is a MUI?



MUI (Multi User Interface) is a term for an interface that runs on a German version of Microsoft Windows and supports different languages. This enables large companies and government agencies to install Microsoft Windows in multiple languages.
