I've downloaded VSCode in German and I've set the display language to English as described here. However, the hints for Intellisense are still in German, which is not great for debugging and understanding suggestions/mistakes, since the breadth of information online on programming related issues is in English. I found this SO question that discusses how to do it in VS, but that is over 10 years old and I don't even have the "Tools" tab in VSCode.
How to set UI language in English and IntelliSense hint Language in another language in Visual Studio 2012 ?
I also tried to search for a setting by pressing "Ctrl+," using different keywords, but all I got was highlighting toggles for Intellisense that control highlighting for different code fragments. Using "Ctrl+Shift+P" and searching for "Intellisense" etc. didn't help either.
I really do not want to deinstall VSCode and reinstall it using an English installer just so I can fix this problem, especially since I'm only using VSCode to program C++ for Unreal Engine to begin with and whenever you change something slightly Unreal likes to break things in a fit of capriciousness.
Is there a straightforward way to fix this? Here's an image of what the Intellisense hints look like. I'd love it if they were in English.
To change the language of the Itellisense you should go to the Visual Studio Installer, modify the current installation, then go to "Language Packs" section of the installer and select English. After installing the language pack go inside the IDE: Tools -> Options -> Environment -> International Settings , select English and save changes.

Ok, so I wasn't able to set any options for this and the only thing that worked was going to a download page of an English installer and running that. I essentially updated my 1.7.3 version of VSCode to a 1.7.4 version using an English installer instead of a German one and that fixed the issue...
Is this stupid or am I stupid?

I use "Configure Display Language" to change to another language and restart, then VS Code still tells me that English is the current language. I checked argv.json and the language has been changed there. I tried Japanese and French and they had the same problem.
Please check the VS Code settings to make sure the corresponding language extension has been installed and enabled.

My entire VS Code is in English, but sometimes some of the fixes under "Show fixes" appear in Polish. I would like to switch to English entirely. How can I do that?
I have already switched my language under "Configure Display Language" to en. I've also tried downloading an English extension but it failed too. Is there an option that I missed that sets the language of (some) of the fixes to my default OS system?
One in English, one in Polish
UPDATE: I solved my own problem. Solution is at end of this post
Original Post:
Intro:
Hi, I had Visual Studio Code (VSCode) installed a long time back for use with Unity but ended up not using it and opted for Visual Studio instead because that was what my Unity course was using.
I am now learning HTML so I now want to use the Visual Studio Code as the editor.
Problem:
When I type out my HTML code, VSCode is not autocompleting any of my code or giving me any suggestions or colour coding the text.
Troubleshooting steps done:
I completely uninstalled Visual Studio Code including the user data folders: .vscode in users and Code in Appdata/Romaning (which were advised on the visual Studio code website uninstall instructions).
I then installed a fresh version. But the same problem persists.
Update: I have learnt that the feature that I have an issue with is called Intellisense. CTRL-SHIFT-R is supposed to refresh this feature module. So did this and I get the message "No refactorings available". So perhaps I am missing a module or plugin that I am supposed to also install?
I'd appreciate someone's help to solve this.
Many thanks.
PS This is my first StackOverflow question, I hope it's not a forehead slapping debut!
UPDATE: SOLUTION
I just solved my own problem...and it's probably a beginner's mistake...
I discovered at the bottom right corner of the editor, this a menu tray. One of these items showed "Plain Text". On clicking it, it showed a list of programming languages. Naturally HTML was one of them and I upon clicking it. The editor Intellisense auto completion, suggestions etc kicked in.
If I may comment, I wonder why this element is somewhat conspicuous. It's not obvious for a beginner to know to click on "Plain Text" at the bottom right corner without scouring the interface or try to find a third party tutorial video. Perhaps, I can give that as a feedback to the developers.

Just getting start using DrRacket, but it automatically set the environment in Simplified Chinese after I finished installing it.
I've seen the tutorial that is included with drracket:
C:\Program Files\Racket\doc\drracket\Menus.html#part._.Help
However my help button in Simplified Chinese does not contain the option "Interact with DrRacket in English"
Is there another way to change the language of the environment back to English?
Ensure you have this line in your ~/.racket/racket-prefs.rktd:
(plt:human-language english)
(Tested against version 5.2.1.)
Edit: Sorry. I didn't read the question careful enough before posting my answer, since the question already states that the Help menu option was not available. However, I tested to change the interaction language to both Chinese variants and back to English with the current version and it works. Maybe the screenshot helps somebody else to find this setting more quickly.
You can also directly use the GUI menu Help to change the interaction language (tested with the current version of DrRacket 7.3), e.g. by selecting Interact with DrRacket in English.
I can't get word navigation on camelcase, underscore or periods in either Aptana or Titanium studios. Neither in PHP or Javascript. I do get it on hyphens though.
The only smart caret option I see in preferences is "Smart caret positioning at line start and end" in General->Editors->Text Editors. This have no effect on these.
Is there no way to enable better word navigation?
Btw, I'm using Mac. In case there are differences between Mac vs Pc Eclipse.
Thanks for any help.
I've been using Linux (Ubuntu) Aptana and it has the nice word navigation you described, then started using Max OS X for work and it does seem like the Mac version of Aptana and it seems to lack the same functionality (it only jumps over words separated by whitespace and not underscore or camelcase).
I know this is not an answer, but I can't post it as a comment since I don't have enough rep (wtf?).
Did a bit of searching (thanks to finding the right words to use from your question) and found this bug report on the issue, the solution (described in the final comment) is:
Go to System Preferences (OSX's not Eclipse/Aptana's) > Language & Text > Text
set the "Word Break" dropdown to "English, United States (Computer)"
restart Eclipse/Aptana
Thanks for helping me find that - this has been bugging me for months. This may not fix for camelcase but definitely fixed it for periods for me on OSX 10.7 Aptana 3.4
