  • Chinese Simplified (China)
  • English (Australia)
  • English (Canada)
  • English (Great Britain)
  • English (United States)
  • French (Canada)
  • French (France)
  • German (Germany)
  • Italian (Italy)

HoloLens 2 is also available in the following languages. However, this support does not include speech commands or dictation features.

  • Chinese Traditional (Taiwan and Hong Kong)
  • Dutch (Netherlands)
  • Korean (Korea)

Changing language or keyboard

The setup process configures your HoloLens for a region and language. You can change this configuration by using the Time & language section of Settings.

Note

Your speech and dictation language depends on the Windows display language.

To change the Windows display language

  1. Go to the Start menu, and then select Settings > Time and language > Language.
  2. Select Windows display language, and then select a language.

If the supported language you’re looking for is not in the menu, follow these steps:

  1. Under Preferred languages select Add a language.
  2. Search for and add the language.
  3. Select the Windows display language menu again and choose the language you added.

The Windows display language affects the following settings for Windows and for apps that support localization:

  • The user interface text language.
  • The speech language.
  • The default layout of the on-screen keyboard.

To change the keyboard layout

To add or remove a keyboard layout, open the Start menu and then select Settings > Time & language > Keyboard.

If your HoloLens has more than one keyboard layout, use the Layout key to switch between them. The Layout key is in the lower right corner of the on-screen keyboard.

Note

The on-screen keyboard can use Input Method Editor (IME) to enter characters in languages such as Chinese. However, HoloLens does not support external Bluetooth keyboards that use IME.

While you use IME with the on-screen keyboard, you can continue to use a Bluetooth keyboard to type in English. To switch between keyboards, press ~.
