We know that today is a great day for all users of Windows Phone because it has officially released the Developer Preview version of Windows Phone 8.1, which, as mentioned, can be downloaded by any user even if no has a subscription developer.
And within all the new features, which we have detailed in due course, we will run first with Cortana, the Windows Phone personal assistant who can make a lot of useful activities through voice commands. But beware, as we know that the wizard is only available for now in the US Here's how to activate even outside the country.
Activation of Cortana is too simple but involves changing your region and language, the steps are:
 
1-First we go to the 'Settings' application, go down to the section 'Region' and in the menu 'Country / Region' select United States, and restart the phone.
 
2-Then re-enter the 'Settings' application, down to paragraph 'Language', and that we pressed on 'Inglés (United States)' to display a menu and select 'Upload' after this also restart the phone.
 
3-And ready, and just let the application list and we will run longer with the 'Cortana' application, enter it and start the configuration wizard.

Update: For those who do not Cortana appears even after following the steps, go to Settings> Voice> Voice and Language select Inglés (United States), and thus should not have problems.

It is not known when will we get Cortana in Spanish but some rumors suggest that possibly 2015 that language is added. Yet we all can enjoy the BETA version in English for a few months with this little change region and language in all our phones, and say all because the wizard is available to any terminal running Windows Phone 8.1, even when it is in range come down.
