Per app input language Windows 10

7

3

I've set up so that Windows remembers my input language preference for each app, it works really well (US-English as default with Swedish for some apps) until I close the apps/restart the OS, then it forgets and reverts back to English again. Is there a setting to prevent this from happening? I want it to always remember my language preference for each app.

I'm on Windows 10 Fall Creators Update Version 1709 if that matters.

Ok, but how did you manage do it in the first place? I found several articles and they all shown settings that are not on my Win 10 system at all. – Tomáš Zato - Reinstate Monica – 2019-04-02T15:52:16.797

And it ever worked in any other windows? You probably need an app for that. – Ondřej Stašek – 2020-02-05T12:53:33.493

In my "Windows 10 Pro" "Version 1809" is not this settings in "Control Panel" anymore.

It is possible to set it in this way: "Start menu" -> Settings -> Find "Typing settings" -> Advanced keyboard settings -> check checkbox "Let me use a different input method for each app window"

Please try this option, and then set your preference input method for different apps:

Start > Settings > Time & Language > Region & language > Additional date, time & regional settings > (under Language) Change input methods > Advanced settings > (under switching input methods) Check on "Let me set a different input method for each app window"

Not trying to be rude here but did you even read the question? I have that set up already and it works very well, until I close the app, then when I open it again, it's reset to English, my question is how do I make it remember when I open the app again? – Daphen – 2017-10-25T09:40:27.833

This option is set to remember the settings. Did you mean that it didn't work on 1709? – Kattee Lee – 2017-10-26T03:01:30.157

It works until I close the application, when I open it back up again it has been reset to the default input language. I want it to remember the preferred language for each app even after I restart the computer. If I choose Swedish for all of my messaging apps and then restart the computer, they're all back to English again when I get back into Windows. – Daphen – 2017-10-26T22:07:11.720
