start-screen

I've installed English Windows 8 x64 on my notebook and selected Slovenian as locale during installation.

The problem I'm having now is that my tiles on start screen display in Slovenian even though my installation is English. I've also edited languages, adding English (British) on the list and putting it on top of Slovenian, but tiles still use Slovenian...

All previous Windows versions were able to have English UI with a particular locale for input, time, dates, currency etc.

How can I do the same in Windows 8?
