Not fair! You must have your PC set to either the UK or US regions. I think I set mine to South Africa back when I got it *shrugs*
Windows warns that changing regions can remove your access to various things, but honestly I don't think I've purchased anything of any consequence on the Windows Store so it should be ok.
Ah yes, probably. I didn't change any locational settings during installation! That must be it.
Ok, well that joy was short-lived. Tried voice-searching with Cortana and although she picks up what I'm saying perfectly (i.e. the correct question is there), this is the error each time (although I'm not searching for songs):

Anybody else having that?
keeps on telling me something is not right. try again later
no not workingHave you tried setting the region to US and the language to English (US)?
If it's not related to that, it might just be related to your internet ... just disable your firewall, in case that's blocking Cortana's access somehow.
Wonder if she will understand our African folk and their English or coloured people English?
Well, I saw a demo video where she perfectly understood a native Indian guy's strong accent (he even commented that he was surprised by that), so I think they've definitely got a solid voice-recognition engine built into Cortana.
Google Now and Siri are severely limited in SA by a lack of local info, but that doesn't stop them from offering what they can.Cortana localisation is not a language issue - the language part is easy and is largely done.
The real problem is the localised info and access to localised data and services.
