I have a fresh install of the English version of Windows 8.1. Two users are configured : one uses the English UI, the other uses the French UI. I also got the Office French language pack configured accordingly for each user.

But the built-in mail application (the one that you get by clicking on the tile on the home screen) is still in English for the user that uses French everywhere.

I went to hotmail.com and configured the language to French for that user. Hotmail UI on the web is in French. I rebooted the computer (just to be sure) but the mail client is still in English for that user.

The account using French is a child account, created on the computer with the new user wizard. A new Hotmail email was created in the process.

How can change the locale of the built-in Windows 8.1 built-in mail client?

I wanted write a comment, but my reputation score is low. Is it other build-in application in French?

Open the Control Panel -> Clock, Language, and Region -> Language And check Windows display language.

enter image description here

In you case should be so:

  • English Windows display language: Available
  • French Windows display language: Enabled

Then open Change data, time or number formats and change language in Location tap. And finally, try change language in Language in non-Unicode programs on Administrative tab.

Maybe, this tutorial help you.
