Something You Might Have Missed: Windows RT, Language Packs, and Windows 8.1 Preview

Did you catch this footnote-like message? Hopefully, by exposing this as a standalone topic it will get the exposure it deserves.

Hidden in a Microsoft blog post that exalted the release of Windows 8.1 Preview, was a small, quick blurb about an issue with Windows RT and the Windows RT 8.1 Preview:

It was typed in italics making it easy to gloss over, but it's worthy of mentioning because I've seen several community members asking about Windows RT and the language packs. There's no explanation of what may happen, i.e., if it will bomb, destroy the Windows RT unit, or will simply not install, but just that a fix is coming.

Let's hope the fix is soon, communicated in a prominent style and not written in italics.

If you catch wind of the fix, let us know.
