When you on Windows 11, Widgets is the feature that you’ll find much dynamic and interactive. It directly pulls content from Microsoft News based on your linkings. You can also set which type of Widgets you want to see in your feed. If you observe that the widgets on your system are in different language than you want, this article will help you to change language for Widgets on Windows 11.
Usually, by default, Widgets will display in your primary language on the system. You can always go to Settings > Time & language > Language & region to add additional languages to your system. The Widgets will continue to display in your primary language. However, you explicitly need to set a default language for Widgets, below mentioned steps will help you with that.

This how-to is now outdated, and the outlined procedure has no effect on the Widgets language. The language settings can be changed on the web page that opens after clicking on ‘Personalize your interests’, but after setting the language, it still does not affect the Widgets. Upon repeating the procedure, the displayed language on the web page reverts back to the language displayed in Widgets, which never changed.
I confirm Christopher Sharp’s comment. Lanague remains unchanged and unreadable to me, making it useless
Same here, nothing changed, it makes the feature pretty much useless for me.
Same, Widgets totally useless as no information other than ingternational can be accessed. What a shame for Windows team!
Same here, I tried to change language many many times and never I succeed, I don’t know why this bug is not resolved!!!
Same issue here, widget language is not in my language, and didn’t change via the above.
Same issue here. Language is still not the right one… Come On MSFT ?!
