您是否(Did)在计算机上安装了英文版的Windows ，之后却将(Windows)默认显示语言(default display language)更改为另一种语言？可能是西班牙语、法语或您喜欢使用的任何其他语言？如果您这样做了，您可能会发现虽然显示语言(display language)是您想要的语言，但您的计算机在sign-in/lock screen使用的语言仍然是您的Windows 版本(Windows version)默认使用的语言。如果您想了解如何使Windows 10、Windows 8.1 和Windows 7使用相同的显示语言，请阅读本教程(display language)无处不在，无论是在桌面上，还是在锁定屏幕(lock screen)或登录屏幕上：
注意：(NOTE:)为了进行必要的更改，您需要打开区域(Region)窗口。我们将首先展示如何在Windows 10中打开此窗口，然后是Windows 8.1，然后是Windows 7，按此特定顺序。
如何在Windows 10中打开(Windows 10)区域(Region)设置
要更改 Windows 10 PC 或设备(PC or device)在sign-in/lock screen上使用的语言，您必须打开一个名为Region的面板。最快的方法是使用任务栏中的Cortana搜索框(search box)。在其中输入单词区域(region)，然后单击或点击区域（控制面板）(Region (Control Panel))搜索结果。
打开区域(Region)设置的另一种方法是打开控制面板(Control Panel)，转到时钟、语言和区域(Clock, Language, and Region)，然后单击或点击区域(Region)。
无论您选择哪种方式进入区域(Region)设置，您都应该看到以下内容：
如何在Windows 8.1中打开(Windows 8.1)区域(Region)设置
为了能够更改Windows 8.1中的sign-in/lock screen language，您首先必须打开一个名为Region的设置窗口。为此，请切换到“开始(Start)”屏幕，然后开始输入单词region。搜索结果开始出现后，单击或点击(click or tap)Region。
如果您更喜欢旧方式，您可以通过控制面板访问相同的(Control Panel)区域(Region)设置。打开控制面板(Control Panel)，然后转到时钟、语言和区域(Clock, Language, and Region)，然后单击或点击区域(Region)。
这是 Windows 8.1 中区域(Region)设置的样子：
如何在Windows 7中打开(Windows 7)区域(Region)设置
Windows 7中登录屏幕上使用的显示语言是从名为(display language)Region的设置窗口设置的。要找到它，请打开“开始”菜单(Start Menu)并在其搜索字段(search field)中输入单词region。然后点击“地区和语言”("Region and Language")搜索结果。
您也可以走很长一段路，打开控制面板(Control Panel)，然后转到“时钟、语言和地区”(Clock, Language, and Region ")，然后转到地区(Region)。
以下是 Windows 7 中区域和语言(Region and Language)窗口的外观示例：
注意：(NOTE:)从现在开始，这些设置在Windows 10、 Windows 8.1 和Windows 7中的外观和行为都相同。这就是为什么为了简单起见，我们将使用仅在Windows 10中截取的屏幕截图。
如何更改Windows sign-in/lock屏幕上使用的默认语言(default language)
通过单击或点击区域(Region)窗口顶部的名称来选择管理选项卡。(Administrative)
设置的第一部分称为“欢迎屏幕和新用户帐户”(Welcome screen and new user accounts")，它告诉您可以使用它来“查看并复制您的国际设置到欢迎屏幕、系统帐户和新用户帐户”("View and copy your international settings to the welcome screen, system account and new user accounts")。虽然不是很准确，但“欢迎屏幕”("welcome screen")只是登录屏幕或锁定屏幕(lock screen)的另一个名称，这正是我们要寻找的。
然后，您会看到一个名为“复制设置”("Copy settings")的按钮。单击或点击它。
将打开一个名为“欢迎屏幕和新用户帐户设置”("Welcome screen and new user accounts settings")的对话框。在其中，您可以看到您的用户帐户使用的(user account)显示语言(display language)，以及您的 Windows PC 用于“欢迎屏幕”的("Welcome screen")显示语言(display language)。
要将登录/锁定屏幕语言与您的用户帐户(user account)使用的语言相匹配，请选中“将当前设置复制到：欢迎屏幕和系统帐户”("Copy your current settings to: Welcome screen and system accounts")选项。您会在窗口底部找到它。
单击或点击确定(OK)按钮后，Windows会要求您重新启动计算机或设备(computer or device)，以便它可以保存您的新首选项。这样做，当您进入登录屏幕时，您会看到它现在使用的语言与您桌面上的Windows使用的语言相同。(Windows)
结论
将您在桌面上使用的显示语言与(display language)Windows在sign-in/lock screen上显示的语言相匹配可能看起来不多，但它可以帮助您自定义您的 PC，以便您在任何地方使用相同的显示语言(display language)。而且，至少对于我们中的一些人来说，看到我们的母语(mother tongue)在我们的Windows计算机上随处可见是非常重要的。我们希望您发现本指南对您有用。如果您有任何疑问或问题，请使用下面的评论表提问。
Translate the Windows sign-in screen into your local language
Did you install an English version of Windows оn your computer, only to change the default display langυage to another language afterwards? Lіke maybe Spanish, or French, or any other language you prefer using? If yoυ did that, you probably found out the hard way thаt, although the display language is the one you want, the language your сomputer uses on the ѕign-in/lock screen is still the one that your Wіndows versіon used by default. Read this tutorial if you want to find out how to make Wіndows 10, Windows 8.1 аnd Windоws 7 use the the same disрlаy language everywhere, both on the desktop and оn the lock screen or the sign-in screen:
NOTE: In order to make the necessary changes, you need to open the Region window. We will start by showing how to open this window in Windows 10, followed by Windows 8.1 and then Windows 7, in this specific order.
How to open the Region settings in Windows 10
In order to change the language used by your Windows 10 PC or device on the sign-in/lock screen, you'll have to open a panel called Region. The fastest way to do that is to use Cortana's search box from the taskbar. Enter the word region in it and then click or tap on the Region (Control Panel) search result.
Another way to open the Region settings is to open the Control Panel , go to Clock, Language, and Region and then click or tap on Region.
Regardless of the way you choose to get to the Region settings, this is what you should see:
How to open the Region settings in Windows 8.1
To be able to change the sign-in/lock screen language in Windows 8.1, you'll first have to open a settings window called Region. To do that, switch to the Start screen, and then start typing the word region. Once the search results start to appear, click or tap on Region.
If you prefer the old ways, you can reach the same Region settings by going through the Control Panel. Open the Control Panel and then go to Clock, Language, and Region and then click or tap on Region.
This is what the Region settings look like in Windows 8.1:
How to open the Region settings in Windows 7
The display language used on your sign-in screen in Windows 7 is set from a settings window called Region. To get to it, open the Start Menu and write the word region in its search field. Then click on the "Region and Language" search result.
You can also go the long way and open the Control Panel and then go to " Clock, Language, and Region " and then to Region.
Here's a sample of how the Region and Language window looks in Windows 7:
NOTE: From now on, the settings look and act the same in Windows 10, Windows 8.1 and Windows 7. That's why, in order to keep things simple, we'll use screenshots taken only in Windows 10.
How to change the default language used on the Windows sign-in/lock screen
Select the Administrative tab by clicking or tapping on its name at the top of the Region window.
The first section of settings is called " Welcome screen and new user accounts" and it tells you that you can use it to "View and copy your international settings to the welcome screen, system account and new user accounts". Although it's not very exact, the "welcome screen" is just another name for the sign-in screen, or the lock screen, which is exactly what we're looking for.
Then, you get a button named "Copy settings". Click or tap on it.
A dialog box called "Welcome screen and new user accounts settings" opens. In it, you can see the display language used by your user account, as well as the display language your Windows PC uses for the "Welcome screen".
To match the sign-in/lock screen language with that used for your user account, check the option that says "Copy your current settings to: Welcome screen and system accounts". You will find it at the bottom of the window.
After you click or tap on the OK button, Windows asks you to reboot your computer or device, so that it can save your new preferences. Do that and, when you'll get to the sign-in screen, you'll see that it now uses the same language as the one used by Windows on your desktop.
Conclusion
Matching the display language you use on your desktop to the one showed by Windows on the sign-in/lock screen might not seem like much , but it's something that helps you customize your PC so that you use the same display language everywhere. And, at least for some of us, it's pretty important to see our mother tongue being used everywhere on our Windows computers. We hope that you found this guide useful.
