I'm trying to add a contact. If I click on the plus sign below the "First name", "Last name", and "Company" field, I see a pop-up whose first two entries, "Yomi name" and "Yomi company" don't mean anything to me. Here's a picture:
What the heck does that mean?

Hi Brian,
Yomi name and Yomi company name are fields for entering the phonetic equivalent for Japanese names. In Japan, there is commonly a Furigana equivalent for the Kanji name that is used for sorting and searching.
HTH,
Stacey

There is a lot different between 8 and 8.1. Too much to go into but there is a lot of info about it on Microsoft.com. 8.1 was just a update similar to a service pack. It takes years to make and a while to test a new sub-version so 8.2 would probably come out in a year if there is going to be one. I doubt it will but maybe. To early to tell but I don't think they will because they just use the monthly rollups to add stuff that came in SP. Make sure you have optional updates on top of the important ones
The Skype account in the metro UI (tile) is based on the account you logged in to your computer. There must be something wrong with your settings because everything you are having issues with works for me. All of that data syncs to my calendar app. Maybe you could use some help setting it up. IF you want some start a new thread and we would be happy to fix the issue.
Windows 10, the new version that is set to come out is not going to be free. A beta probably won't come out for a year. Why would it be free? When I buy a 2013 Honda they don't send me a 2015 for free :)
This is an old tread and my post is off-topic. But, I did want to give you credit for apologizing. People point out negatives but less often point out positives -- You could have edited the rude post or deleted it and said nothing,, but instead you left it intact and corrected your tone by apologizing.
Everyone should be polite, customers too! And we are all Community members answering questions outside of a few Microsoft employees. Moderators don't get paid have no obligation to do anything. I wish there was some section in this community to let people know that when we answer questions we aren't employees and don't get paid in anyway.
I hate spending time helping people just to get insulted and hammered with rude comments. Maybe I will add a request to create badge that says "community member" similar to Microsoft or Support Engineer.
On topic, adding a contact has nothing to do with the users local or language. The UX is made in context of the contact being added. I person in the US can add a contact for a person in Canada and that person could have a Yomi first name, right?
NEVER have seen them over at Google, perhaps I haven't dug THAT deep.... Ha! ;)
