<p>I am using Windows 8 in Finnish and I noticed that some applications which I knew to be in store were missing. This was because they weren't translated into Finnish yet. The store was also telling me to install one update which didn't exist.</p>
<p>Simply press the Windows button, type &quot;languages&quot; and select &quot;options&quot;. Then click &quot;add a language&quot;, select &quot;English&quot; and then &quot;English (United States).</p>
<p>Now the Store should also show English applications to you too.</p>

## Installing applications not localized to your language
I am using Windows 8 in Finnish and I noticed that some applications which I knew to be in store were missing. This was because they weren't translated into Finnish yet. The store was also telling me to install one update which didn't exist.
Simply press the Windows button, type "languages" and select "options". Then click "add a language", select "English" and then "English (United States).
Now the Store should also show English applications to you too.
If you are interested, the update which didn't exist in Finnish was for [Skype for Windows 8](http://skype.com).
