This is because, by default, Windows 8 has Localization for apps enabled. As a result, all country-specific or Language-specific apps will not be shown to you – only those applicable to your locale will be shown. Many developers like to localize Windows apps for country-specific or language-specific audiences, yet others like to ‘globalize, their apps for a global audience.

To disable localization, click on the Windows Store tile to open it. Move your mouse pointer to the bottom right corner to bring up the Charms bar. Click on Settings > Preferences. You will see an option to Make it easier to find apps in my preferred languages. The default will be Yes. Move the slider and select No. You will now be able to see ALL the Windows Store apps! If you need, you can also Make it easier to find apps that include accessibility features, by moving the slider to Yes.
