不久前，我们写了一篇关于如何在Windows 8中添加或删除(Windows 8)键盘输入(keyboard input)语言的教程。为了继续使用语言这一主题，我想展示如何安装和启用其他显示语言。我敢肯定，我们的许多读者都希望在日常工作中至少在两种语言之间切换。而且，幸运的是，Windows 8使查找、安装和在多种语言之间切换变得比以往更容易。
重要提示：(IMPORTANT NOTE:)在Windows 8中安装新(Windows 8)显示语言(display language)的第一步也是最重要的一步是打开控制面板中的(Control Panel)语言(Language)面板。有几种方法可以做到这一点，我们在上一篇文章中对它们进行了描述。我们强烈建议您先阅读：如何在Windows 8中添加或删除(Windows 8)键盘输入语言(Keyboard Input Languages)。本教程中的部分假设您已经完成了该操作并且您知道如何打开“语言”(Language)面板并添加新的输入语言(input language)。此外，为了安装新的显示语言(display language)，您必须使用管理员帐户登录(administrator account).
如何查找和安装新的显示语言(New Display Language)
您必须首先添加要使用的输入语言。(input language)这是因为 Windows 8 假定，当您添加新的显示语言(display language)时，您希望该语言也成为您的键盘输入语言(keyboard input language)。打开语言(Language)面板，然后单击或点击添加语言(Add a language)。
通过滚动或使用窗口右上角的搜索框选择所需的语言。(search box)
如果Microsoft为所选语言打包了区域变体，那么您有机会通过从下一个面板中选择所需的语言来选择它。
然后，单击或点击添加(Add)。您返回到“语言”(Language)面板，您会看到新语言已添加到可用输入语言列表中。
如果Microsoft为所选键盘输入语言(keyboard input language)发布了显示语言包(display language pack)，您会看到一条消息，说明(message stating)：“Windows 显示语言：可供下载”。("Windows display language: Available for download".)
如果这显示你很幸运。您将能够安装该显示语言(display language)。下一步是单击或点击右侧可用的选项链接。(Options)
这将打开语言选项(Language options)面板。在这里您可以找到两个部分：Windows 显示语言(Windows display language)（我们感兴趣的一种）和输入法(Input method)，它可以访问您的键盘的各种输入法。
在Windows 显示语言(Windows display language)部分，单击或点击(click or tap)“下载并安装语言包”("Download and install language pack".)链接。
系统会提示您给予许可并继续该过程。确认后，将显示一个新窗口，其中包含有关安装状态(installation status)的信息。等待(Wait)显示语言(display language)下载并安装。
完成后，系统会要求您重新启动计算机。如果您有其他程序正在运行，请先保存您的工作，关闭它们，然后单击或点击立即重新启动。(Restart Now.)
Windows 将重新启动并自行配置。
如何启用新安装的显示语言(Newly Installed Display Language)
新的显示语言(display language)已安装但未启用。让我们看看启用它是多么容易。打开语言(Language)面板。然后，查找您刚刚安装的语言。如果一切顺利，您应该会看到提及“可用”("Available")而不是“可供下载”。("Available for download".)
单击或点击选项(Options)链接。这将打开语言选项(Language options)面板。第一部分现在包含两个选项，与我们安装新显示语言(display language)之前可用的选项不同。第一个说“使它成为主要语言”("Make this the primary language")。单击或点击它。
现在系统会提示您注销，以便可以应用新语言。
注销(Log)，重新登录，以新的显示语言享受(display language)Windows 8。
结论
很高兴看到微软(Microsoft)从过去的错误中吸取教训。在Windows 7中，如果您没有使用(Windows 7)Windows 7 Ultimate ，您必须破解操作系统(operating system)才能安装不同的显示语言。在Windows 8中，这很容易做到，您不再受所使用的Windows 8版本的限制。有关在Windows 8中使用语言的更多信息，请不要犹豫，阅读下面推荐的文章。
How to Install and Enable a New Display Language in Windows 8
Not too long ago, we wrote a tutorial on how to add or remove keyboard input languages in Windows 8. To continue with the topic of working with languages, I would like to show how to install and enable additional diѕplаy languages. I'm sure mаny of our readers would lіke to switch between at least two languages in thеir daily work. And, luсkily, Windows 8 makes it easier than ever tо find, install and switch betwеen multiple languages.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The first and most important step when installing a new display language in Windows 8 is to open the Language panel, found in Control Panel. There are several ways to do this, and we described them all in a previous article. We warmly recommend that you first read: How to Add or Remove Keyboard Input Languages in Windows 8. The sections found in this tutorial assume that you did just that and you know how to open the Language panel and add a new input language. Also, in order to install a new display language, you must be logged in with an administrator account.
How to Find and Install a New Display Language
You must first add the input language that you want to use. That's because Windows 8 assumes that, when you add a new display language, you want that language to also be your keyboard input language. Open the Language panel, and then click or tap Add a language.
Choose the desired language either by scrolling or by using the search box on the upper right side of the window.
If Microsoft packed regional variants for the selected language, then you have the opportunity to choose the one you wish by selecting it from the next panel.
Then, click or tap Add. You are back to the Language panel, and you see that the new language has been added to the list of available input languages.
If Microsoft released a display language pack for the selected keyboard input language, you see a message stating: "Windows display language: Available for download".
If this is displayed you are in luck. You will be able to install that display language. The next step is to click or tap the Options link, available on the right.
This opens the Language options panel. Here you find two sections: Windows display language (the one that interests us) and Input method, which gives access to various input methods for your keyboard.
In the Windows display language section, click or tap on the link that says "Download and install language pack".
You are prompted to give your permission and go ahead with the process. Once you confirm, a new window is displayed, with information on the installation status. Wait for the display language to be downloaded and installed.
When done, you are asked to restart your computer. If you have other programs running, first save your work, close them and click or tap Restart Now.
Windows will restart and configure itself.
How to Enable the Newly Installed Display Language
The new display language is installed but not enabled. Let's see how easy it is to enable it. Open the Language panel. Then, look for the language you just installed. If all went well, you should see the mention "Available" being displayed instead of "Available for download".
Click or tap the Options link. This opens the Language options panel. The first section now contains two options, different from those available before we installed the new display language. The first one says "Make this the primary language". Click or tap on it.
You are now prompted to log off, so that the new language can be applied.
Log off, log on again and enjoy Windows 8 in the new display language.
Conclusion
It's great to see Microsoft learning from past mistakes. In Windows 7 you had to hack the operating system in order to install different display languages, if you were not using Windows 7 Ultimate. In Windows 8 this is easy to do and you are no longer restricted by the version of Windows 8 you are using.
