The application that I work with will display texts based on the default input language in the machine. e.g. English (US) , English (UK)
[Analyzed vs Analysed]

It seems like the default language when running tests in AppVeyor build is English (US).

Can you please tell me if there is a way that we can change the default input language in AppVeyor?

   You mean changing locale: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/international/se... ?

   Hi Feodor.

   Thanks for that URL. Yes. I want to change locale.
   I have added the following commands in appveyor.yml by checking the current locale (en-US) and then changing to another locale (en-AU).

         - ps: GET-WinSystemLocale
         - ps: Set-WinSystemLocale -SystemLocale en-AU
         - ps: GET-WinSystemLocale
   

   However, the locale is not updated to en-AU.

   Could you please help to check if there is any configuration I should try?

   OK, looks like VM needs to be restarted (source). Give it a try:

   init:
   - ps: Set-WinSystemLocale en-AU
   - ps: Start-Sleep -s 5; Restart-Computer
   - ps: Start-Sleep -s 5
