is there a way to change groups and groups description language?

Question

_{Thursday, February 23, 2017 12:35 AM}

Hi,

I've installed a French version of Windows 10 Pro (because I'm in France now) and even if, after the installation, I added the english language and completely turned everything possible in english, I still have groups names and groups description in French. Is there a way to translate all of them in english too?

I would like to have the entire system in english, even if I'm forced to reinstall it completely. Is there a way?

Thank you in advance

Hi Giant,

This is default behavior. It's recommended to use native language images. Since Language package cannot cover the whole system.

Hi,

Yes, that's all I did to modify the language.

I mean the default Windows Groups (Administrators, Users, Hyper-V Admins, etc..) and their description. They are still in French. I could rename all of them manually, but I would like to know if there is a way to do this automatically, fast, and why they haven't been translated.

And anyway I don't know all the original names and descriptions :/
