Could it be possible to use normal language in non-English Windows?

I am forced to use Windows 11 Enterprise with interface in Estonian language (without option to swich to original English), but the use of Estonian language in Windows 11 Enterprise interface is weak. Windows 11 Enterprise does not know Estonian language enough to be understood, sometimes.

    Dear Andres Beek,

    Of course, you can use English on a non‑English Windows 11 Enterprise installation. If your system is locked to Estonian, there are some ways to switch to English, such as adding the English pack through Settings, or PowerShell.

    Via Settings (if not blocked by policy):

    • Go to Settings > Time & language > Language & region.
    • Click Add a language.
    • Search for English (United States) or your preferred English variant.
    • Install the Language pack and set it as Windows display language.
    • Sign out and back in to apply.

    Via PowerShell (if Settings is restricted):

    • Open PowerShell as Administrator.
    • Run: Get-WinUserLanguageList $LangList = New-WinUserLanguageList en-US Set-WinUserLanguageList $LangList -Force

    One thing to remember is that if your Enterprise edition was installed from an Estonian‑only ISO, you may need to reinstall using the multilingual ISO (en‑us_windows_11_enterprise_x64.iso).

    I hope this information is all you need. If you're unclear about something, please write back. If everything is fine, please accept the answer. It shows how your issue could contribute to the whole community. Thank you :)
