How to change the display language of pre-installed Windows Store apps

After you install a language pack and change the Windows display language, you may notice the pre-installed Windows Store apps, such as Weather or Maps, do not initially change to the new display language. When you change display languages, the built-in Windows Store apps have not yet downloaded the corresponding language resource files they need in order to be displayed in the new language. If you have automatic Windows updates enabled, the language resource files for these apps are automatically downloaded at your next scheduled Windows Update. Then, the app’s metadata cache must update before the built-in Windows Store apps finally appear in the new language. The whole process will take place automatically provided that you have automatic Windows updates enabled, but typically this process needs a few days to finish.
If you want the preinstalled Windows Store apps to display in the new language immediately, you will need to install additional Windows updates, change some user profile settings, and then view the apps in a newly created user account. To do this, follow these steps:

  1. Once the new display language is installed, restart the computer, and then log on to an administrator account.

  2. Check for new Windows updates by doing the following:

    1. From the Start screen, type Windows Update, and then select Windows Update.

    2. Tap or click Check for updates.

  3. Install the new updates that are found by tapping or clicking Install updates.

  4. Check that your location setting is accurate. Some Windows Store apps use this setting to provide more accurate information that is in the appropriate format. Do teh following to check your location setting:

    1. Open Control Panel.

    2. Tap or click Clock, Language, and Region.

    3. Tap or click Change location.

    4. Select your home location from the dropdown, and then tap or click OK.

  5. Change the Welcome screen and the new user accounts settings to the new display language by doing the following:

    1. Open Control Panel.

    2. Tap or click Clock, Language, and Region.

    3. Tap or click Region, and then tap or click the Administrative tab.

    4. Under the Welcome screen and new user accounts, tap or click Copy settings... and approve if you are prompted.

      • If the person you're adding doesn't have an email address, tap or click Sign up for a new email address. A new email address is free.

      • If the person you're adding is a child, tap or click Add a child's account.
