How to Install Language Packs For Multilingual Support in Windows 8

If you are a non-English user and want to use any other language, then the facility to change the language is provided by the Windows 8 Consumer Preview that can be easily run on your Windows 8 Consumer Preview. Fortunately, the Windows 8 Consumer Preview comes with languages packs for 167 languages and the language can be changed only from the control panel in desktop mode. These language packs are not available from the Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) server or through the Microsoft Download Center. For this you have to follow some steps.
 
Step 1: On the START page, type Language and make sure that the search scope is set to Setting.
