Install new culture for Microsoft.Speech.Recognition.SpeechRecognitionEngine

I am working on a speech recognition project with a Kinect and I would like to change the language in the SpeechRecognitionEngine library. But on my machine there is only one language installed.

foreach (RecognizerInfo regInf in SpeechRecognitionEngine.InstalledRecognizers())
{ 
    // regInf.Cultur -> returns "en-Us"
    // regInf.Id -> returns "SR_MS_en-US_Kinect_11.0" and "SR_MS_ZXX_Lightweight_v11.0"
}

Using this code above I get only the "en-US" language. That's an odd thing. Because I work on a machine with a Windows 7 german edition.

How can I install the german language for speech recognition?
