10/11/2012 3:16:50 AM
It’s no secret that as our connections spread across the globe and our work moves across geographical lines, learning to work with different languages and translation tools becomes increasingly important. As a worldwide company, Microsoft has been working with language needs for a while, but they haven’t been able to make the task simple for users. In Windows 8, you can use a simplified process to find and choose the language you want Windows 8 to display.

>>>step-by-step

1. In the PC Settings window, tap or click General.

2. Scroll down to the Language area.

3. Tap or click the link Go to Language in Control Panel. The Language dialog box appears.

Setting Your Primary Language

By default, Windows 8 assigns the language at the top of the list in the Language dialog box as your primary language. If you want to change this, you can change the order of languages displayed by selecting the language and choosing either Move Up or Move Down in the command bar above the language list.
