# Supported languages for HoloLens 2
|
|
|
|
HoloLens 2 is localized into the following languages. The localization features include speech commands and dictation, keyboard layouts, and OCR recognition within apps.
|
|
|
|
- Chinese Simplified (China)
|
|
- English (Australia)
|
|
- English (Canada)
|
|
- English (Great Britain)
|
|
- English (United States)
|
|
- French (Canada)
|
|
- French (France)
|
|
- German (Germany)
|
|
- Italian (Italy)
|
|
- Japanese (Japan)
|
|
- Spanish (Spain)
|
|
|
|
HoloLens 2 also supports the following languages. However, this support does not include speech commands or dictation features.
|
|
|
|
- Chinese Traditional (Taiwan and Hong Kong)
|
|
- Dutch (Netherlands)
|
|
- Korean (Korea)
|
|
|
|
Some features of HoloLens 2 use the Windows display language. 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.
|
|
|
|
## Change the language or keyboard layout
|
|
|
|
The setup process configures your HoloLens for a specific region and language. You can change this configuration by using the **Time & language** section of **Settings**.
|
|
|
|
> [!NOTE]
|
|
> Your speech and dictation language depends on (and is the same as) the Windows display language.
|
|
|
|
### To change the Windows display language
|
|
|
|
1. Open 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 that you're looking for is not in the menu, follow these steps:
|
|
|
|
1. Under **Preferred languages**, select **Add a language**.
|
|
2. Locater and add the language.
|
|
3. Select the **Windows display language** menu again, and then select the language that you added in the previous step.
|
|
|
|
### 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 together with the on-screen keyboard, you can continue to use a Bluetooth keyboard to type in English. To switch between keyboards, press the tilde character button (**~**).
