Repro Steps

Simply type wsl --help and observe the displayed language. (not the language inside a distro)

In my case, it is Chinese which isn't consistent with my display language:

PS > wsl --help

用法: wsl.exe [参数] [选项...][命令行]

运行 Linux 二进制文件的参数:

   如果未提供命令行，wsl.exe 将启动默认 shell。
blabla...

It showed in correct language (i.e. the display language set on my machine which is English) at the first time I installed it via command line. However, the command line result is present in Chinese after I type wsl --update now.

Few things may help locate the issue:

• The display language and preferred language of the current user are both English, though I use Chinese as my secondary language.
  
• DISM may give more info:

  PS > dism /online /get-intl
