Original post contents
Since Windows Terminal is going to be in the Win+X menu of Windows 11, why not fixing once for all the language UI issues?
My Windows 11 UI Language and keyboard scheme is only portuguese of Portugal while Windows Terminal language strings are in the horrible broken portuguese of Brazil. Don't get me wrong,,, I like Brazillian people but their speech and writing degraded the portuguese of Portugal speech and writing.
Windows Terminal team needs to allow people to choose the language they prefer using a small drop-down box or Windows Terminal needs to get the language selection from Windows UI language code.
I see many users are agravated with such language issues.
As of time of writing, brazillian strings are still present with version 1.8, 1.9, and 1.10. I don't recall how it was before but I used to use Windows Command Prompt all the time.
