Add languages
You can add languages so that you can read and type
in different languages. Once you add a language, you
can choose your display language—this is the
language you see most often in Windows and in your
apps—and switch between different languages as you
type.
 To learn more how to add a language and
type in different languages, see Languages in
Windows RT on Windows.com.
 If you want to work with different languages in
the Office apps, see Office 2013 language
options on Office.com.
