How to change Power Automate Desktop interface language?

Posted on by CR-21101627-0
Hello,
 
How to change Power Automate Desktop interface language?
I installed Power Automate Desktop.
It has an interface in a Foreign language (that matches my Keyboard layout).
I'd like to switch it to English.
 
Version 2.61..148
 
Thank you for your help

    Go windows "Language settings" and Add a language and add English. Then move it top in the preferred languages list.


    Then just restart Power Automate Desktop and it should be in english.

    I've seen the "change your system settings" option, but is there any other way to change the PAD language?
     
    I don't want to:
    1. Have to get used to a new keyboard layout because of PAD. (I'm only using my local language for basic typing - simply because I need much more characters than the English alphabet).
    2. Try to figure out what the terrible - I assume auto-generated - nonsensical translations of the UI parts mean in English (e.g. not all languages use the same word for a "loop" on a rope and a "loop" in programming).
     
    I would assume creating a language setting other than the system default is not a big hurdle in 2025, but alas.

    any news on this issue? I hope those low-end MS-coders soon get replaced by decent AI-agents!
