ISSUE
You may see two contact folders in People, one in English and the other in your localized language. One of these folders may not sync to your devices.
Note: Contacts created in People can be synced across other devices and apps. Imported contacts (for example, contacts from a connected account) aren't synced.
WORKAROUND
Follow these steps to ensure that all your contacts sync:
-
Make sure your Outlook.com language is set to English. To change it, go to Language and time settings.
-
Export your contacts from the folder which isn't syncing.
-
Import your contacts again. The contacts will be automatically imported to the correct folder which is syncing.
-
Change your Outlook.com language back to your personal preference.
