Forum Hub Appearing in Chinese

Hi,

I had this for a long time and today i was finaly able to resolve this.

These are the Steps that helped in my case, maybe they will help in your case to:

- Open the Settings App in Wndows 10

- Click on "Time & Language"

- Click on "Region & language"

- Check the installed languages

In my case 3 Languages were installed. German, Japanese and English (in this Order!)

-> i guess "Forza Hub" is not localized for German, so it took the next Language which was Japanese.

-> by changing the Order and putting English as the second Language, Forza Hub now uses English.

Although I had just recently installed Forza Hub, I did as asked. Uninstalled Forza Hub, and then reinstalled it. Still having the Chinese character behaviour.

Then I did remove the Simplified Chinese from the Language settings, which indeed resolved the Forza Hub problem of showing Chinese formatted dates and Game descriptions in Chinese.

A bit strange, and clearly a bug, as my default language settings (as everywhere else is visible) was clearly on the default English (Australia) setting. So somewhere a conditional statement is checking to wrong setting?!

Cheers...

Right on! Keep us in the loop if that issue comes back up.

Thanks for the information! I also received your PM with the screen shots, that helps a lot!

Let's start by simply uninstalling the Forza Hub and reinstalling it back on. To do that, search for the Forza Hub in Windows, right click the Forza Hub app tile and selecting 'Uninstall'.

If the issue persists, the next step will be temporarily removing the Chinese language pack. To do this, navigate to your Language settings in the control panel and select 'Options' next to the Chinese language you have installed and select 'Uninstall language
pack' within the options screen.

Once it's done uninstalling, follow the pop-up prompt to restart your PC. After the restart, check if the Forza app displays fine and report back! (If it displays fine, go ahead and add Chinese back to your PC through the language settings in Control Panel
and see if the issue pops back up).

Let us know how it goes!

Hey Sjoerd69!

Is the Forza Hub the only Windows 10 app that you encounter this issue on? To clarify, which specific language packs do you have installed on your Windows 10 PC (For example, do you have Simplified or Traditional installed)?

Additionally, ensure your desired display language is at the top of your Language preferences list. If it's not, select the desired language and click 'Move up' until it's at the top if it isn't already.

Let us know so we can help narrow down the issue further!
