Currently, DreamSpark Premium (formerly MSDNAA) only have access to the en-US version of Windows 8 RTM, fortunately enough if you want to change the display language now you can download the official Language Pack.
Problem: There’s no way to manually install a language pack file (lp.cab) in Windows 8, at least accessible through Control Panel as it was in Windows 7 (Microsoft must be planing to only distribute language packs through Windows Update, but, at the time of writing, they aren’t available yet )
Solution #1:
- Press Win key
- In Start Screen write lpksetup
- Press enter and follow instructions
- After the successful installation, restart and enable the new display language in Control Panel\Clock > Language and Region > Language
Solution #2:
- Press Win key
- In Start Screen, write cmd
- Right mouse click over Command Prompt and select Run as Administrator
- Write the following command, restart afterwards and enable your display language in Control Panel:
dism /online /add-package /packagepath:C:\languagepacks\de-de\lp.cab
NOTE 1#: You will need to adapt the commands requirements for your specific usage, for instance, if i want to install a pt-PT language pack that is located at c:\users\me\lpacks\pt-PT\lp.cab, the command would be
dism /online /add-package /packagepath:C:\users\me\lpacks\pt-PT\lp.cab
NOTE 2#: Don’t forget to change your Locale settings also, so you can get the same language everywhere.
PS: I don’t know if I’m allowed to share the full .iso file here, but you can easly find this anywhere.
