About dialog

Windows 8 build 8331 (fbl_loc) is a build of Windows 8, which was uploaded to BetaArchive on 8 December 2014 in the qps-ploc pseudo-locale variant. The German, Greek, Finnish, French and Italian languages were later uploaded to the aforementioned website on 18 October 2018.

This build is available in the qps-ploc pseudo-locale - an automatically generated localization based on the English (United States) locale, significantly modified away from the original to test internationalization capabilities. These modifications include the addition of a five-character prefix identifying each localized string, replacement of standard Latin characters with ones featuring diacritics or similar characters from other writing systems, or the extension of certain strings' length by through the addition of exclamation marks at the end of a string.
