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.
