Edge WebView Change the language of the webview interface, e.g. context menus with visual basic

Question

I have a diy webbrowser (WebConnect for Windows) and it is running on the Edge WebView2. I would like to change the language of the microsoft edge webview. For example that the context menu, the download dialog and everything else is showing up in a specific language.

Sorry for my bad english i am a german user.

I did some research and the only thing I found out was that I can do this directly in the language settings via Windows (I use Windows 11 v24h2) or in edge (which didn't work). I tried it also with JavaScript.

You can actually set WebView2 browser flags, and the flag you need is lang. For example, I specify --lang=de under WEBVIEW2_ADDITIONAL_BROWSER_ARGUMENTS, so WebView2 will display UIs in German.

And the context menu:
