Trouble getting Cortana working in Australia, try this

I just got asked by a client who was having troubles getting Cortana running on Windows 10. He was quite happy when I showed him working on mine. Here I thought it was just a problem on my system. So here is the solution:

Download and install
MSSpeech_SR_en-AU_TELE.msi
from
http://www.microsoft.com/en-au/download/details.aspx?id=3971

This will install the the speech language “English (Australia) that is missing and is required to make Cortana working in the OZ.

Then you just want to make sure the options in Settings > Time & Language > Region & Language as well as Speech are set to Australia or English Australia.

Enjoy, I hope you enjoy it more than I have so far. P.S. add your mail account the the Mail & Calendar so she can see what your up to.
