Install more crops on Windows Server 2012

Question

On a Windows 8.1 machine, I see far more cultures available than on a Windows Server 2012 machine: 791 versus 378. To give a concrete example, there is no en-HK culture on the server machine.

Here is the verification code that I use to list them:

foreach (var ci in CultureInfo.GetCultures(System.Globalization.CultureTypes.AllCultures).OrderBy(ci => ci.Name))
{
    Console.WriteLine("{0} ({1})", ci.Name, ci.EnglishName);
}

Question: How to install a more complete list of cultures in Windows Server 2012 so that it matches what is available in Windows 8.1?
