Microsoft seems to be experimenting with somenew language optionsfor Windows these days.

Microsoft’s latest plans include offering its users access to a fewlanguage packsfrom Microsoft Store. In other words, you would be able to bypassWindows Updateanddownloadand installlanguage packsdirectly from Microsoft Store the same way youdownloadgames and apps. This should ease the usage, as Microsoft is focusing on making the Store more valuable to Windows 10 users by making it the hub of all extra features.

You can already find three language packs that include Catalan, Valencian, and Russian in the Microsoft Store.

Redstone 4 will allow users to download language packs

The fact that during the last few days, the company uploaded a series oflanguage packsmight mean that Microsoft is planning to soon provide us with the opportunity todownloadlanguage packsfrom Microsoft Store withRedstone 4.

The official description of each one of the three available language packs says that if you want to experience Windows in a brand new language, the local Experience Pack will do the job. This includes the latest language resources for Windows features such as Start Menu,File Explorer, and Settings.

The official description of everylanguage packfrom Microsoft Store also states that after you install theapp, you have to select the Launch button in order to navigate to Windows Settings app and from there you would be able to control all of your language preferences including the Windows display language. This should be really interesting.

For now, you can try downloading the three available language packs that you can find in the Microsoft Store includingCatalan,RussianandValencian. It’s pretty likely that this is just a test for Microsoft to see how things will be going and the company will probably upload morelanguage packsshortly in the Microsoft Store as well.
