If it came pre-installed with a windows 8 single language edition it's unfortunate and you won't be able to install a language pack. It's stock/purchased language only. 🙁

All mentioned editions have the ability to use language packs, enabling multiple user interface languages.[5] (This functionality was previously only available in Windows 7 Ultimate or Enterprise.) However, in China and other emerging markets, a variation of Windows 8 without this capability, called Windows 8 Single Language, is sold. This edition can be upgraded to Windows 8 Pro.[14]
