Why can’t I reinstall languages from windows update? (windows 7)

I installed Danish, Chinese simplified and traditional, Korean and Japanese language pack on my computer.

However all those updates say they failed except for Korean and I want to install all of the other languages but I can’t reinstall them. They don’t show in the optional update category so I can’t reinstall them

And the only languages that show in the installed list are English and Korean.

Can someone help me with this? This issue is driving me crazy.

    The problem is solved now, I got the languages back in windows update.

    Edit: I am now missing Korean language pack after I uninstalled it, I got all my language packs back so I can install them anytime in windows update, but for some reason Korean doesn’t show up, and I want help with this because I want to be able to download Korean language pack in windows update, can someone help me with this?
