When using Internet Explorer 10 with Windows 8, you might notice that the Installed Products page is not localized. For example, if your machine is a localized Chinese machine (zh_CN) and you attempt to view the Installed Products page in your Internet Explorer 10 browser, the language displayed is English, not Chinese.

The problem occurs because Windows 8 uses an extended locale specification that includes a script (zh_HANS_CN) that is not recognized. And English content is displayed in its place.

Temporary Workaround

Append the _locale parameter to the URL to display the localized Chinese content from the Installed Products page. Here is an example:

Internet Explorer 10 on Windows 8 does not recognize extended locale specifications. For example: zh_HANS_CN as opposed to zh_CN
