My Windows 8.1 is in Finnish. But Movie Maker and Photo Gallery that were apparently installed together with it are in Danish. I do not speak Danish, and I don't want my OS to make unwanted language selections for me.

So how can I change them from Danish to Finnish, or even to English?

Thanks for the tip. I re-loaded the programs from the corresponding Finnish page, and got the English versions.
English is naturally better than Danish, but I still wonder why the programs were Danish in the first place for a Windows version that is in Finnish. And I now also wonder why the Finnish net page offers the English versions.

If you scroll down on the second link I posted, there is a Suomi option. That should fit.
