    Where is Cortana for Belgian users?


    Hey all,

    I'm from Belgium and still waiting for Cortana.
    I can't find any news on when it will be available for us.
    Anyone here that knows more about this?

    I know we can use it by changing our region and language, but then some other function also think we are not in Belgium anymore lol ..

    They said it would be available for us in 2017.
    Almost 2019 now and still nothing..

    gives a current list.

    If you wanted Flemish support, I'd guess you might be waiting a while...

    I don't know if you have tried Cortana at all, some people are happy with it, others want to kill it off.
    For example, web searches from it launch Edge only (needs a 3rd party tool so it uses your default browser).
    File searches from it only find what's indexed by Windows search.

    Never tried it, because it's not available.
    But if it only uses Edge, then I don't want it. Edge sucks

    Hi there

    I hate those voice activated things so it can go to you know where.

    I scream enough at the TV when football is on and a player misses an open goal or the 'Ref ) as usual) makes bad decisions(the proper game where people actually kick the ball - round proper ball not a squashed type rugby ball) without needing to use cortana !!!!.

    Cheers

    Edgedeflector (free) as I suggested allows you to specify a different browser.
    Download EdgeDeflector 1.1.3.0
    @jimbo45 - Dutch isn't listed, either... so feel free to scream in Dutch or Flemish...

    French is - and German (Belgian minority I gather).

    I'll scream and curse in Dutch "Godverdomme Microsoft waar is cortona voor Nederlandstalige gebruikers?" nono seriously i hate the fact that big companies like Microsoft automatically assume that everybody who lives in Belgium talks and understands French just because it's an official language i feel insulted i do not talk or understand French .I wonder why microsoft forgot about us but yet we have to pay the same price to obtain a right to use the Windows operating system.

    Hi, there are many countries for which Cortana is not natively available, alas.

    Please feel free to scream at MS via the Feedback Hub app, or via one of their own sites such as this:
    Technet forums


    I guess using English won't work for you (there is a Belgian variant of French available, FWIW).

    hi,

    If it was possible to use English there would be problems in understanding our English because we do not have the accent natieve English speakers have it's not a big problem we are unable to use cortana it just makes me angry there is French available while that is a minority i just can't understand that.I guess French is used in more countries then Dutch (France , part of Canada , Switserland and so on)

    How To Change Cortanas Language On A Windows 10 PC, Notebook Or Tablet | Digital Citizen
    (May be slightly out of date of course - says nothing unexpected).

    Settings, speech, includes a tick box for 'Recognise non-native accents...' - which I might guess just broadens statistical parameters.
