What to Know

  • In Windows: Choose the desired Display and Help Languages in File > Options > Word Options > Language.
  • Then, select Choose Editing Options in the same section to change the editing language.
  • All but the proofing language in Office for Mac are the same as those for the operating system. To change it in Word: Tools > Language.

This article explains how to change display and/or editing languages in Word for Office 365, Word 2019, Word 2016, Word 2013, Word 2010, Word Online, and Word for Mac. In Windows—but not in macOS—you can choose them independently of the language installed for your operating system.

How to Change the Display Language

The display language in Word governs the ribbon, buttons, tabs, and other controls. To force a display language in Word that’s different from that of your operating system:

  1. Select File > Options.

  2. In the Word Options dialog box, select Language.

  3. In the Choose Display Language section, choose the Display Language and Help Language you want to use. Languages installed in Windows 10 are listed.

  4. If a specific language is not listed, select Get more display and help languages from Office.com. If necessary, install a Language Accessory Pack, then close and re-launch Word. You may need to reboot your computer, as well. After a language pack loads, go to the Word Options menu and choose that pack in the Display Language and Help Language lists.

  5. Select Set as Default for both the Display Language and the Help Language lists.

  6. Select OK to save your changes.

How to Change the Editing Language in Word

The editing language—which governs spelling, grammar, and word sorting—can be changed in the Word Options screen. Go to the Choose Editing Languages section, and select a language from the list. If the language isn’t listed, select the Add additional editing languages drop-down arrow and choose a language.

To proofread in the selected language, highlight the text, then go to the Review tab and select Language > Set proofing language. Choose a language from the list. Word will consider the highlighted selection to be the non-default, selected language and will check the spelling and grammar accordingly.

How to Change Language in Word Online

Language options for Office Online are similar to those in desktop versions of Office. In Office Online, highlight the text for proofing in the non-default language. Select Review > Spelling and Grammar > Set Proofing Language, then choose your alternative language. All proofing in that selected block will be governed by the rules of the alternative language.

How to Change Language in Word for Mac

The display and keyboard layout languages used in Office for Mac are the same as the ones for the operating system. You cannot use separate languages for the OS and Office applications. However, you can specify a different proofing language for Office for Mac.

To change the proofing language in Office for Mac, select Tools > Language in Word or another Office application. To change the proofing language for new documents, select Default.

If you select OK instead of Default, the proofing language you chose will only apply to the current file.

Normally, Word defaults to the language of the operating system. As a rule, you should use Windows to install language files rather than rely on an application like Word to do it for you.

For users in the US, Word automatically displays the ribbon and commands in English and makes English the default language for spell-checking text and suggesting corrections. However, if you often work with documents in other languages, you can change the language in Word. This will make your work much easier. There are actually two different language settings in Word:

The display language is the language in which user controls and menus are displayed. The editing language is the language of the document. This language is important for checking spelling and suggesting corrections. For example, if spell check is not working, Word could be set to the wrong editing language. However, you can easily change the spell check language in Word.

Changing the display language in Word

To change the display language in Word, click “File” on the ribbon and then “Options”. In the next dialog box, select “Language” in the sidebar on the left. The display language and help language are now displayed at the bottom of the dialog box. By default, Word uses the language of the Windows operating system as the display language. However, you can select a different language at any time and click “Set as Default” to make it your default for future documents. This setting isn’t applied until you restart Word. The user interface is then displayed in the new language.

Language settings in Word
Word normally uses the Windows system language as the display language.

Select a help language in the list box on the right. By default, the help language is the same as the display language. This is the language in which help is displayed in Word. You can also change this language: For example, if you normally use Word in English but have a different native language, you can display help in your native language without changing the language of the user interface in Word. After making your changes, click “OK” at the bottom of the window and restart Word.

Changing the editing language

You can also change the editing language in the same dialog box under “File” -> “Options”. In the “Language” section, all installed editing languages are displayed at the top of this dialog box. To enable a language, click one of the languages marked “Not enabled”. You can add additional editing languages in the list box below the list of editing languages. Word allows you to choose from over 100 languages and dialects. Select the desired language and enable it. In some cases, you may have to download additional proofing tools, e.g. if a language is written from right to left.

Once you’ve enabled the language you want, click “Set as Default” to use this editing language for all new documents. Save your changes by choosing “OK”.

Changing the editing language in Word Online

In Word Online, the editing language is set individually for each document. Open a document, select all text using the keyboard shortcut Ctrl + A or select several paragraphs. Right-click within the selected area. A toolbar and a context menu will appear. In the context menu, select “Set Proofing Language”. A list of available languages will appear. Select the language you want to use and click “OK”.

“Set proofing language” option in Word Online
You can select the proofing language via a context menu in Word Online.

The procedure for setting the language is slightly different in the macOS version of Microsoft Word. To change the editing language on a Mac, go to “Tools” -> “Language” and select the desired language. If you want to use this editing language as the default language for all new documents, click the “Default” button.

The display language for Word cannot be changed independently of the operating system language in macOS. Word always uses the system setting on a Mac. If you want to change the display language for the user interface, you have to change the language for the operating system. You can find this setting in the Apple menu under “System Preferences” -> “Language & Region”.

Microsoft Word is one of the most popular and widely used programs for documentation purposes around the world. If you hail from a non-English speaking country, then you may want to use MS Word in your own language or any other language of your choice. 

Sometimes, you may want to access accent marks or include special characters from a different language in your writing – this would require you to change the MS Word language itself. Fortunately, Microsoft Word allows you to change the editing language, proofing tools, and the user interface language (display language) and set a different display language while applying another language in editing and proofing documents.

In this article, we’ll show you how to change the display language as well as the editing and proofing language in Microsoft Word. Throughout the post, we’ll be using Microsoft 365 but most of the options are similar to the offline versions (2019, 2016, 2013, or 2010) and Office 365. So irrespective of the version you’re using, this article can surely help change or switch up the language(s) on your Microsoft Word.

Changing the Display and Help Languages

When you install Microsoft Office, it usually has English as its default language or the local/regional language of the location that powered the MS Word purchase. If you want to change this language(s) to any other, you would have to manually install it/them first.

A display language is the one that’s visible on all tabs, menus, buttons, preferences, dialog boxes and other controls on your Word application. If you want to use a different language instead of the default, follow these steps:

Open Microsoft Word and click the ‘File’ tab.

In the backstage view, click ‘Options’.

A Word Options dialog window will appear. Here, select the ‘Language’ tab. In the Language tab, you will see two sections – ‘Office display language’ and ‘Office authoring languages and proofing’.

If you are using Office 2019, 2016, 2013, or 2010, you will see ‘Choose Editing Languages’ and ‘Choose Display Languages’

‘Office display language’ or ‘Choose Display Languages’ section is where you can set the MS Word display (UI) language. You’ll see a list of installed languages under this section. If the language you’re looking for is not in the box, you would have to manually download and install that particular language pack.

Adding Language Packs on Office

If a specific language is not listed here, click the ‘Install additional display languages from Office.com’ link below the box (as shown below).

This will show you a ‘Install a display language’ dialog. Here, choose your language and click ‘Install’.

This will take you to the Microsoft website where you can download the language pack for the selected language as shown below. Here, click the ‘Download’ button.

Run the downloaded setup file to install it.

Wait for the installation to complete, then close and re-launch Word. Sometimes, you may need to reboot your computer for smoother functioning.

Then, open the MS Word app again and go to File > Options > Language. As you can see, the ‘Office display language’ box lists the installed language. Now, select your desired language and click the ‘Set as Preferred’ or ‘Set as Default’ option (for Office 2019 and older versions).

After you select the ‘Set as preferred’ or ‘Set as Default’ button, your selected language should show ‘<preferred>’ at the end as shown below. Then, click ‘OK’.

Adding Language Packs from Office Webpage

Alternatively, you can directly visit the MS Office’s Language pack for Office page, where you can download the language you wish to use. Microsoft Office offers over 100 additional language accessory packs which you can download and install for free. 

Once you’re on Office’s language accessory pack webpage, scroll to see a section called ‘Step 1: Install the language accessory pack’. Under this section, select your Office version tab.

Then, choose your language from the ‘Which language do you need?’ drop-down.

Once you select the language, you’ll notice the ’32-bit’ and ’64-bit’ download links. If your operating system is of 32-bit architecture, click ‘Download (32-bit)’. Or if your system uses 64-bit OS, then, select the ‘Download (64)’ bit.

After the file is downloaded, install the setup file, close, and re-open the Word app. Then, go to the Word Options menu, choose the language pack you installed under the ‘Office display language’ box and select ‘Set as Preferred or ‘Set as default’. Then, click ‘OK’.

Restart Word and you’ll see that the UI language is changed for MS Word.

Changing the Editing and Proofing Language

The editing/authoring language is the language in which you write and edit documents. This language also controls the text direction and arrangement for vertical, right-to-left, and mixed text. The Proofing tool checks for spelling and grammatical errors. If the editing/input and proofing language is already installed on your computer, you can easily change it. If not, you need to first manually install the language and then change it.

Open the Word application, click the ‘File’ tab and select ‘Options’ to open Word Options. You can also open the Word Options window by switching to the ‘Review’ tab in the Ribbon and clicking the ‘Language’ button and then selecting the ‘Language Preference’ option.

In the Word Options, select the ‘Language’ tab. You’ll see the ‘Office authoring languages and proofing’ or ‘Choose Editing language’ section where you can add and set the language for editing. When you install MS Word, the app will automatically be configured to use the default system language.

The ‘Office authoring languages and proofing’ box lists all installed system and Office languages. If the language you want to change is on the list, select the language and click ‘Set as Preferred’ or ‘Set as Default’.

Installing Additional Input Languages for Word

Follow these installation steps if a specific language is on the ‘Office authoring languages and proofing’ box.

To add an authoring language, click the ‘Add a Language..’ button.

Select the language you want to add and click ‘Add’.

Most of the time, even if you add the language, you still have to manually install the language or additional proofing tools on your Windows OS.

To install additional input/editing language on your computer, click the ‘Install additional keyboards from Windows Settings’ link below the Office authoring languages and proofing box.

This will open the Windows Settings page where you can install languages on your system. Click the ‘Add a language’ button (if you have Windows 10 or 11).

In the ‘Choose a language to install’ dialog box, choose a language and select ‘Next’.

On the next page, select ‘Install’.

Once done, you’ll see the installed language in the list of languages.

Usually, when you type on your computer, the system will use the default input language (first in this list) to input characters. So, you should change the input language to the recently installed language to actively use the latter. You can do this via the settings application or from the taskbar.

Via Settings App

To change the input keyboard layout, select the ‘Time & language’ settings, and click the ‘Typing’ option.

Then, select ‘Advanced keyboard settings’.

Now, choose your input method to use as a default.

Via Taskbar

OR, you can easily switch between the input method from the taskbar.

After you installed the language, go back to File > Options > Language. In the Word Options, you’ll notice the installed language in the ‘Office authoring and proofing language’ box.

To remove an editing language, first, select the language and then hit ‘Remove’. 

Installing Proofing Tools

Sometimes, proofing tools may not be installed on Office even after installing the input language. If you’re using Microsoft 365, you would see three proofing tool statuses next to each language, namely – ‘Proofing available, Proofing not available, Proofing installed’. For other Office suites (like Office 2019, 2016, etc.), the status will be shown as ‘Enabled’ or ‘Not enabled’ under the Keyboard layout column.

‘Proofing not available’ means the proofing tools are not available for that particular language. ‘Proofing available’ suggests you download and install the language pack with proofing tools for that language. And ‘Proofing installed’ means the proofing tools are installed for that specific language and you are free to use them.

If Proofing tools are available but not installed, click the ‘Proofing available’ link next to the language you want to use to download the language pack.

This will direct you to the Language pack download page on the Microsoft Office website. Here, click the ‘Download’ button.

After the download is complete, install the ‘OfficeSetup.exe’ file, wait for the installation to complete, then close and re-launch the Word app.

After re-launching the app, go to Word Options. You’ll now see ‘Proofing installed’ next to the chosen language. Now, select the language and click ‘Set as Preferred’.

Word will show you a warning message to let you know that the authoring language you just chose will take effect the next time you launch Office. It also warns you of changes that may occur to custom settings (like your preferred default font). If you want to continue, click ‘Yes’. Then, click ‘OK’ to close the Word Options.

Now, restart your Microsoft Word, again, to change the editing and proofing language.

Once the Word editing language is changed, you would have to change your keyboard layout to type text in the changed language. Usually, the keyboard layout language matches the characters of a different language as the keys on your keyboard would automatically translate to the chosen different language on your screen. Essentially, the keyboard layout language controls and changes display characters when manually typed.

Switching Between Keyboard Layouts

When you install a new language on your OS, it comes with a keyboard for language-specific key layouts and input options. After you install more than one keyboard layout for different languages, you can easily switch between those keyboard languages using the language bar.

When you change/switch the keyboard language, the keyboard layout shifts to the keyboard for that particular language. For instance, if you are writing something in English and if you want to include content in a different language, you can quickly switch between keyboard layouts to write in different languages.

Here’s what you need to do to change the keyboard layout to a different language.

When you have more than one layout installed, the Language bar (language abbreviation) automatically appears in the ‘System Tray’ or ‘Notification Area’. To change the keyboard layout, click the language icon (ENG stands for English keyboard) and select the language you want to use from the list of available keyboards.

If you have Windows 10 or 11, you can press Windows+Spacebar to switch layouts. The language abbreviation represents the active keyboard layout of the system.

Now, you can easily write and edit Word documents using a different language.

Proofreading in Different Languages

MS Word also allows you to write or edit in one language and proofread text in another. To proofread in a different language, go to the ‘Review’ tab, select ‘Language’, and click the ‘Set Proofing Languages..’ option.

Then, select the language from the Language dialog box and click ‘OK’. Here, you also have options to ignore spelling/grammar errors, detect language automatically or set the default language.

For instance, if you want to include a word or phrase in a different language without showing grammatical errors, you should only change the proofing language for the particular word or phrase.

To do this, first, select the word or phrase, then go to the ‘Review’ tab, select ‘Language’ and click the ‘Set Proofing Languages..’ option. Then, choose a language from the list and click ‘OK’. Word will ignore spelling and grammar on the highlighted selection.

That’s it, folks! You can now easily change both the display and editing and proofreading languages on your MS Word to any language(s) of your choice.
