VS2019 : resource file error: Neutral (Default) (unknown sub-lang: 0x8)

I'm following this tutorial to get started with win32api GUI programming. My VS2019 is completely standard but when i try to add a resource file i get the error:

A resource in this file uses an unknown language: Neutral (Default) (unknown sub-lang: 0x8). Unable to open this file.

I found something similar posted before, but the suggested fixes didnt work for me. i only have one language installed on my W10 machine. Any idea what could be wrong with my settings?

// Microsoft Visual C++ generated resource script.

2 TEXTINCLUDE

    "\0"

3 TEXTINCLUDE

    "\0"

As suggested by Jeaninez setting my Window display language to English (United States) fixed the problem. This seems to align with the default settings in Visual Studio 2019.
