Go to Regional and Language Options in the Control Panel.
Check all settings.
It is possible one or more is French.

Did you check all the settings?
Language is just one.
The region setting is more likely to be the cause of your issue.

Believe as an exclamation this should be Quoi! as in pourquoi.
Or even Sacre Bleu! or Zut alors!

Thanks for the French lesson. I just used an online translator. I never
said it was grammatically correct.

Cheers.
