Can't access language option "Add" via the control panel - > regional options and lang.

Cannot access language 'Add' option via Control Panel-> regional control and options. lang-> keyboards and languages-> text services and input languages. When I click on 'Add', the language menu appears, but I can't take anything as the OK button is inactive. And I know I could do it before because I already added another language to my keyboard. Could you please help me?

Thank you.
