And BTW, it's of course "Favourites"! Don't you know your own
language!? :-)

I do indeed! Microsoft don't, though. (Even though I have UK set in
various places.)

Well, my Windows version is UK English and does say 'Favourites'.

Interesting!

BTW, the relevant setting is the 'Windows display language' [1]. The
'Keyboard layout' is irrelevant (for this issue) and can be different
(mine is/are 'US' and 'United States-International'). 'Date and time
formats' and 'Location' are yet other irrelevant settings.

I know keyboard layout, clock, and display language are three different
things. (My clock etc. are custom, as I use ISO, or a variation
thereof.) I have UK keyboard.

[1] (On Windows 8.1) Control Panel - Clock, Language and Region -
Language - Advanced settings - Override for Windows display language
... - selection box.

On 7, it's apparently Control Panel - Region and Language - Keyboards
and Languages - Display Language. However, on my system, Keyboards and
Languages only has a section near the top Keyboards and other input
languages; there's a big empty space below that. Apparently, Display
Language will appear there if I have more than one LIP installed;
presumably I don't. (It was bought, ready installed, from a UK
refurbisher.) This late in the day, I suspect I'm not going to go
hunting other LIPs. FWIW, my Office 2003 says "English (U.K.)", which I
assume it picked up from system when I installed it.

My selection box has 'Use language list (recommended)' (which is the
current setting) and 'English (United Kingdom)'). So my 'Windows display
language' is 'English (United Kingdom)', which was probably the only
English language pack included in the Windows software which came with
my laptop.
Note that you can *add* [2] (Windows display language) language packs,
but there is a default one set at installation time.

[2] (On Windows 8.1) Control Panel - Clock, Language and Region -
Language - Add a language. And then later - 'Windows display language:
Available for download' - Options - 'A language pack for ... is
available for download' - 'Download and install language pack'.
