After my Windows 10 PC being changed language from Chinese (simplified) to English (The United States), the desktop display language did changed into English, but it's still Chinese in the lock screen and the login interface.

Before we proceed, I need more information to help you better.
What is the base language of operating system installed on your computer?
The display language is the language that Windows uses in wizards, dialog boxes, menus, Help and Support topics, and other items in the user interface. Some display languages are installed by default, and others require you to install additional language
files. When you change the display language, it is changed for your user account and is not changed on the Welcome screen.
Let's follow these steps below.
Type Control Panel on search bar, click on Control Panel, click on Clock, Language, and Region, and then clicking
Regional and Language Options.
Click the Keyboards and Languages tab.
Under Display language, choose a language from the list, and then click
OK.
When you change the display language, the text in menus and dialog boxes for some programs might not be in the language that you want. This happens because the program might not support Unicode.
Hope the above information helps. Reply with necessary information and the result to help you further.

- Which windows 10 build is installed on the system?
Lets follow the below methods and see if this helps.
Method 1: Install all the Windows update.
1. Type update on the Windows search bar and select Check for updates.
2. Now click on Check for updates button, it will automatically check for the Windows update if any update is pending.
Method 2 : SFC scan.
System File Checker is a utility in Windows that allows users to scan for corruptions in Windows system files and restore corrupted files. It will scan your system files and to repair missing or corrupted system files in Windows. To run the
SFC scan, refer to the Microsoft article below.
Actually, I also had the same problem in my own PC after I changed the Chinese language setting to English.
Finally, I found a solution, so I think it is better to post it to help someone who has the same issue.
After setting the display language, if you find that the welcome screen or new user accounts is still using the old language setting, you can do like below
Type "Control Panel" on "Search Bar," click on "Control Panel", click on "Clock, Language, and Region", choose and click on "Region".
In the "Region" window, open "Administrative" tab, click on "Copy Settings..." in the "Welcome screen and new user accounts" group.
Then copy your current setting to both of welcome screen and new user accounts, restart it.
At least in my case, above steps, the problem has been solved.
Hope that will be helpful for who has the same problem.
