When using the Windows file explorer, you may have encountered a situation where, after copying a file name, the ‘Paste’ option appears in English as ‘Paste’ instead of the usual Japanese ‘貼り付け’. This can be confusing, especially when the rest of your system displays text in your preferred language. If you’re wondering how to change this back to Japanese or understand why it happened, you’ve come to the right place!
Possible Cause for the ‘Paste’ Displaying in English
The issue you’re experiencing could be related to language settings in the system’s regional settings, or it might be due to a mismatch between the user interface language and the system’s language settings. While the browser and other applications might show Japanese characters, the file explorer might default to English depending on the system configuration.
How to Change the ‘Paste’ Text Back to Japanese
To fix this issue, follow these steps to ensure that your system’s language settings are correctly set to Japanese:
- Open the Start Menu and search for ‘Control Panel’.
- Click on ‘Region’ and then go to the ‘Administrative’ tab.
- Click on ‘Change system locale’ and select ‘Japanese’ from the drop-down list.
- Click ‘OK’ and restart your computer for the changes to take effect.
After doing this, your system should display ‘貼り付け’ instead of ‘Paste’ when using the file explorer and other system functions.
Language Settings in Windows 10
Sometimes the issue could be that the default display language is set to English, even though your system locale is set to Japanese. To ensure that Windows 10 is using Japanese as the display language:
- Go to ‘Settings’ from the Start Menu.
- Click on ‘Time & Language’, then select ‘Language’.
- Under ‘Preferred languages’, check that ‘Japanese’ is selected. If it’s not, add it.
- After selecting Japanese, click on ‘Set as default’.
- Restart your computer.
This should change the display language for all Windows elements to Japanese, including file explorer right-click options.
Why Is This Happening in the First Place?
This issue could be due to a change in language settings after a Windows update or installation. It’s also possible that the file explorer language settings weren’t correctly configured initially. While it’s rare, it can happen when Windows doesn’t detect the correct region or language settings during installation.
Conclusion
If you are facing the issue where the ‘Paste’ option appears in English in Windows 10 File Explorer, it’s likely due to incorrect language or region settings. By following the steps above, you should be able to switch the language back to Japanese and ensure that your system displays the correct text. If the issue persists, try checking for updates to your system or resetting the region and language settings again.
