Can a Windows Store app switch languages from Javascript to C#?

I've built a fairly simple packaged Javascript app for Windows Store. As I expand with more features I'm kind of wondering about whether I should have written it in c# instead.

Since the app is very simple I could quite easily re-write it in C# in a matter of days, however I don't know if existing users will be able to upgrade from the javascript version to the C# version. Is this possible?

Can a Windows Store app switch languages between versions, or is an app limited to whatever language it was originally written in?

    For anyone interested, it IS possible to switch between languages in app updates.
