14 DAY TRIAL // Microsoft has recently announced that New Zealand's Maori language is now supported by its key products, including Windows 8, Internet Explorer 10, and Outlook.com.
Even though it's spoken by only 157,000 people, Maori can now be applied to the Modern and desktop interfaces of Windows 8, while also supporting built-in Metro apps such as Mail, People, Weather, Maps, Music, and Windows Defender.
"We are thrilled to continue our support for te reo Maori," said Paul Muckleston, Managing Director of Microsoft New Zealand Limited. "We are grateful for the hard work that so many people have done to make it possible to weave this taonga into the very latest of tablet, smartphone, PC, and cloud technologies."
In addition, IE10 can be configured to display menus and options in Maori on both Windows 7 and Windows 8, while Office 2013 users need to download a stand-alone language pack to set it up.
