I already tried to change the language, delete the US language and then tried to install it as a bundle. Didn't work either.
Thank you for your help!!

How do you delete the language?

I had Spanish (Spain) installed by default and coundn't find a way to delete it.

Every user has to download the speech language on their phone depending upon the country in which they leave. To know more google select speech language windows phone.

Same here! "Error downloading"

950 XL. Same problem here. It worked when I initially set my phone up. Then after a factory reset, phone came up with French speech installed although I had set all initial parameters to US. Unable to install US English speech.

I've got Spanish (Spain) installed by default on my Lumia 950 and there is no way of uninstalling it...

Lumia 640 XL Dual Sim, i'm on 10586.122 and i've tried all mentioned above except for reverting back to 8.1 and i cannot download the Canadian speech or keyboard options. They continue to fail. I changed to slow ring and now there is an update to 10586.164 fingers crossed this update fixes that problem.

Same problem here. I just made a clean total reinstall (WDRT->8.1->10). I have the .164 version. No way to download a language pack (I reinstall the insider app but didn't help). Always the same error 0x80070020.

Same on my girlfriend's 640 after updating to W10M production. Can't get Spanish voice. Is it something that will be available later, like happened for Insider builds back then?

[fdruid]

To fix this i reinstalled Windows Insider app and then i was able to download the speech and language pack.

But this Works if youre enrolled in Insider builds, I take it. Or just by having the app installed?

Same issue here on a recently upgraded Lumia 930. It simply says Downloading under the language pack. Its been like that for 2 days.

..argh! I can't enable Quiet Hours without Cortana working. Plus I lost notifications of new Email messages. WTH!

[BobSacamano96]

Hey just a quick note for anyone else. I downloaded and installed Windows Insider and went through the setup. Once finished it said my phone had a language update and needed a restart. It went through the update sequence (about 20mins). When complete I could select my new language as default and finish the setup of Cortana. FYI - Reminder this is a Lumia 930.

[Kerry2112]

I've gone the 8.1 -> W10M insider preview route twice on my L1320. In both cases, I could not load Canadian keyboard or speech options after getting to W10M without getting error downloading or such messages. In both cases, after a hard reset, I could select the proper language and keyboard and the phone then went to update notification that language packs were ready to be installed. After update, things worked fine.

tl;dr version: upgrade to W10M from 8.1 problematic. Hard reset AFTER getting to W10M fixes all (at least for the language issue!)

I figured it out. Update your phone.

[Hari1953]

I just got the 950 and trying to install the English (US) and getting the same error. Any work around to the problem? Can't use Cortana. I prefer the US Cortana hence I changed my region to US instead of India and need the English (US) speech to get it working.

[Maurizio Troso]

In Know Iussues in official release note there's that too. Back-end error

[Dennis Bakker]

Dual sim 950XL from France. (I'm Dutch).
Build 14356
Speech language French installed, English (UK) error downloading, English(US) error downloading.

Anyone a fix on this new build?

Edit:

Removed both simcards, switched the phone on and the downloads started. Placed back the simcards and everything is working fine now...

Lumia 640 user - I'm on the latest "preview release ring" 10.0.14393.67.. I reset the phone after the update and didn't setup insider program. there were errors downloading the speech packs and keyboards. After reading this thread I enrolled in the preview release ring and the packages downloaded without hassle.

[Maurizio Troso]

Don't play too much with that reset. Only in case of major iussues

Isn't it always good thing to start fresh with a major upgrade?

Absolutely NOT, only after 8.1 upgrade or in case of major iussue, like some core apps not working.
A phone needs time to resync and recaching itself, draining battery and data, especially an older one

I have always practiced this method & it has proved to be effective as the new builds tend to set them selves in without left overs & scratches from the previous version. I always leave the phone on wifi while on charge after a major upgrade.
