There are three areas in Microsoft Office where you may want to change the language.

  • Editing or Authoring is the language in which you write and edit your content. You may need to install an associated keyboard for this language via Windows settings.

  • Proofing tools are spelling and grammar check. Typically, you’ll set this language to be the same as the editing or authoring language.

  • Display language is for all the buttons, menus, and controls in Office.

You can set the display and editing or authoring languages independently from each other. For example, you may want the display language to be English, but the document you’re writing or editing is in French.

Note: If you want to completely change Office, permanently, to a different language you’ll get the best results if you first set that to be your default display language in Windows as well. For more information on doing that see this article for Windows 10 or this article for Windows 7 or 8.

Tip: To prevent having to manually configure the proofing language with each new document in Word, switch on the option to detect the language you’re writing. On the Review tab, go to Language. Choose Language > Set Proofing Language, and then select Detect language automatically.

Note:  If you’re using Office 365 and the commands available are different from what’s shown here, expand the Configure Office language for Office 2016 or earlier section and follow the instructions there.

In Office, the language options are in the Office Language Preferences dialog box. The display and authoring languages can be set independently. For example, you could have everything match the language of your operating system, or you could use a combination of languages for your operating system, authoring, and display.

To configure the display language:

  1. Within any Office application, select File > Options > Language.

  2. Under Office display Language, make sure the display language you want Office to use is listed.

    Office display language

  3. Select the language you want, and then select Set as Preferred. If you want your Office display language to match the display language you have for Windows, select Match Microsoft Windows [Language].

  4. If the language you want is not listed, select Install additional display languages from Office.com and follow the instructions there.

To configure the authoring and proofing language:

  1. Within any Office application, select File > Options > Language.

  2. Under Office authoring languages and proofing, make sure the language you want to use for authoring your document is listed.

    Office authoring languages and proofing

  3. If the language you want appears in the list, select it, and then select Set as Preferred. If the language you want is not listed, select Add a language, and then follow the instructions in the Add an authoring language dialog box.

  4. If the language accessory pack includes proofing tools for that language, its status appears as Proofing installed. If the status is Proofing available, click the link to install the proofing tools.

Tip: To prevent having to manually configure the proofing language with each new document in Word, switch on the option to detect the language you’re writing. On the Review tab, go to Language. Choose Language > Set Proofing Language, and then select Detect language automatically.

In Office, the language options are in the Set the Office Language Preferences dialog box. The display and help languages can be set independently. For example, you could have everything match the language of your operating system, or you could use a combination of languages for your operating system, editing, display, and Help.

To configure the editing and proofing language:

  1. Within any Office application, select File > Options > Language.

    The dialog box where you can add, select, or remove the language Office uses for editing and proofing tools.

  2. If your language already appears among the editing languages press Set as Default. Otherwise select the language from the Add additional editing languages list then press the Add button. The new language will appear in the list of editing languages.

If the Keyboard Layout shows as Enabled, you’re all set for editing. If it says Not enabled in the Keyboard Layout column follow these steps to enable it:

  1. Click the Not enabled link.

  2. In the Add Languages dialog box, press Add a language, select your language in the list, and then press Add.

  3. Close the Add Languages dialog box. Your language should display as Enabled under Keyboard Layout in the Choose Editing Languages section.

Under Proofing, if your language shows as Installed, you’re ready to go. Otherwise press Not installed and Office will take you to a page where you can download the necessary Language Accessory Pack for that language. Follow the instructions on that page to download and install the pack, then come back to the Office Language Preferences dialog box to confirm that it’s now installed.

To configure the display and help languages:

  • Within any Office application, select File > Options > Language.

    The dialog that allows you to select the language that Office will use for it's buttons, menus and help.

If you’ve already set your Microsoft Windows display language to be the language you want Office to display in you can leave this set to Match Microsoft Windows. Otherwise select your language and press Set as Default to move that language to the top of the list. The language that is listed first is the one Office will use for its menus and buttons. Please note, if your Windows display language is not also installed in Office, your Office display language will appear in the next language in the display list.

Repeat to configure your help language if you want to.

If the language you want isn’t available…

Download the proper Language Accessory Pack for the language you want to use from this page: Language Accessory Pack for Office. The Language Accessory Pack contains the display and proofing tools for most languages, but you can still choose to have your display in one language and editing or authoring in another.

Microsoft Office for Mac already contains all of the available languages, so there’s nothing to download. To configure Office to use those languages follow these steps:

Tip: If you’re using a personal Microsoft account, you can choose your preferred display language in your profile settings at https://account.microsoft.com/profile.

  • Change views on OneDrive (Scroll to the bottom for language settings)

  • Set your language in SharePoint. If you’re using SharePoint, and want a language other than your system language, you’ll want to be sure to select a SharePoint language.

  • Change your language settings in Dropbox

  • To apply this change to any existing text in the document, press Ctrl+A to select all of the existing text, then set the proofing language with the steps above.

  • This change only affects the current document. For subsequent documents you’ll need to repeat these steps.

You can use the Office language options to add a language, to choose the UI display language, and to set the authoring and proofing language.

The language options are in the Set the Office Language Preferences section of the Office Options dialog box, which you can access by going to File > Options > Language. The display and authoring languages can be set independently. For example, you could have everything match the language of your operating system, or you could use a combination of languages for your operating system, authoring, and Office UI display.

The available languages depend on the language version of Office and any additional language pack, language interface pack, or ScreenTip languages that are installed on your computer. 

Add a language

You can add a display language or an authoring language. A display language determines the language Office uses in the UI — ribbon, buttons, dialog boxes, etc. An authoring language influences text direction and layout for vertical, right-to-left, and mixed text. Authoring languages also include proofing tools such as dictionaries for spelling and grammar checking. (The preferred authoring language appears at the top of the list in bold. You can change this by choosing the language you want and selecting Set as Preferred.)

To add a display language:

  1. Open an Office program, such as Word.

  2. Select File > Options > Language.

  3. Under Office display language, on the Set the Office Language Preferences, select Install additional display languages from Office.com.

  4. Choose the desired language in the Add an authoring language dialog and then select Add. A browser page opens where you can download the installation file.

  5. On the browser page, select Download and run the downloaded pack to complete installation.

  6. The added language appears in the list of Office display languages.

To add an authoring language:

  1. Open an Office program, such as Word.

  2. Select File >Options >Language.

  3. On the Set the Office Language Preferences, under Office authoring languages and proofing, select Add a Language….

  4. Choose the desired language in the Add an authoring language dialog and then select Add. A browser page opens where you can download the installation file.

  5. On the browser page, select Download and run the downloaded pack to complete installation.

  6. The added language appears in the list of Office authoring languages.

If Proofing available appears next to the language name, you can obtain a language pack with proofing tools for your language. If Proofing not available is next to the language name, then proofing tools are not available for that language. If Proofing installed appears next to the language name, you’re all set.

  • To go online and get the language pack you need, select the Proofing available link.

Both kinds of Office languages (display and authoring) have a preferred language that you can set independently.

The preferred language appears in bold at the top of each language list. The order of the languages in the list is the order in which languages are used by Office. For example, if your display language order is Spanish <preferred>, German, and Japanese, and the Spanish language resources are removed from your computer, German becomes your preferred display language.

To set the preferred language:

  1. Open an Office program, such as Word.

  2. Select File > Options > Language.

  3. Under Set the Office Language Preferences, do one or both of the following:

    • Under Office display language, choose the language you want from the list and then select Set as Preferred.

    • Under Office authoring languages and proofing, choose the language you want from the list and then select Set as Preferred.

You can use the Office language options to add a language or to choose the language in which the Help and ScreenTips display.

The language options are in the Set the Office Language Preferences dialog box, which you can access by going to File > Options > Language. The display and help languages can be set independently. For example, you could have everything match the language of your operating system, or you could use a combination of languages for your operating system, editing, display, and Help.

The available languages depend on the language version of Office and any additional language pack, language interface pack, or ScreenTip languages that are installed on your computer. 

Add a language

You can add a language to Office programs by adding an editing language. An editing language consists of the type direction and proofing tools for that language. The proofing tools include language-specific features, such as dictionaries for spelling and grammar checking. (The default editing language appears at the top of the list in bold. You can change this by choosing the language you want and selecting Set as Default.)

  1. Open an Office program, such as Word.

  2. Select File > Options > Language.

  3. In the Set the Office Language Preferences dialog box, under Choose Editing Languages, choose the editing language that you want to add from the Add additional editing languages list, and then select Add.

    The added language appears in the list of editing languages.

If Not enabled appears in the Keyboard Layout column, do the following:

  1. Select the Not enabled link.

  2. Windows settings will open to the Language page. In the Add Languages dialog box of Windows settings, select Add a language, choose your language in the list, and then select Add.

  3. Close the Add Languages dialog box in Windows settings. In the Office dialog box, your language should display as Enabled under Keyboard Layout in the Choose Editing Languages section.

If Not Installed appears in the Proofing column, you might need to obtain a language pack or language interface pack to obtain the proofing tools for your language.

  • To go online and get the language pack you need, select the Not installed link.

The display and Help languages are the languages used in Office for display elements, such as menu items, commands, and tabs, in addition to the Help file display language.

The default language appears in bold at the top of the list. The order of the languages in the display and Help lists is the order in which languages are used by Office. For example, if your display language order is Spanish <default>, German, and Japanese, and the Spanish language tools are removed from your computer, German becomes your default display language.

To set the default language:

  1. Open an Office program, such as Word.

  2. Click File > Options > Language.

  3. In the Set the Office Language Preferences dialog box, under Choose Display and Help Languages, choose the language that you want to use, and then select Set as Default.

Which display language is being used for which Office program?

If you use multiple languages and have customized Office so that it fits the way that you want to work, you can review all of the Office programs to see which language is the default display language for each.

  • In the Set the Office Language Preferences dialog box, under Choose Display and Help languages, select View display languages installed for each Microsoft Office program.

Note: This feature is available only for the following Office programs: Excel, OneNote, Outlook, PowerPoint, Publisher, Visio, and Word. It is not available for Office 2016 programs.

ScreenTips are small pop-up windows that provide brief, context-sensitive help when you rest the pointer on a display element, such as a button, tab, dialog box control, or menu. Setting the ScreenTip language in one Office program sets it for all of the Office programs that you have installed.

  1. Open an Office program, such as Word.

  2. Select File > Options > Language.

  3. In the Set the Office Language Preferences dialog box, under Choose ScreenTip Language, choose your ScreenTip language.

    Notes: 

    • This feature is not available in Office 2016.

    • If the language that you want is not listed, you might need to add more language services. Select How do I get more ScreenTip languages from Office.com, and then follow the download and installation instructions.

    • After you install a new ScreenTip language, it becomes your default ScreenTip language.

For more information about ScreenTips, see Show or hide ScreenTips.

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.

FAQ

  • How do you delete a page in Word?

    To delete a page in Word, select View, then go to the Show section and select Navigation Pane. In the left pane, select Pages, choose the page you want to delete and tap the delete or backspace key.

Changing the Language Settings in Microsoft Word

The automatic spellchecker in Microsoft Word is far from perfect, but it can be useful for spotting mistakes in your written work. First, though, you’ll need to know how to change the language settings.

This is vital because even regional variations of English can differ in spelling, which means the automatic spellchecker will miss mistakes if the wrong settings are used. Luckily, changing the language in Microsoft Word is a quick and simple process.

Changing Language Settings

There are two main ways to set the language of a new document in Microsoft Word. The first is to use the “Review” tab on the main ribbon:

  1. Go to the “Review” tab and find the “Language” section
  2. Click on “Language” and select “Set Proofing Language…”changelanguage1
  3. Choose the language required in your document from the new window and click “OK”Changing the Language Settings

The second option is possibly even simpler:

  1. Click on the language section of the blue bar at the bottom of your document (this will display the current language settings by default)languagesettings1
  2. In the new window, select your chosen language and click “OK”

Either approach will ensure the spellchecker looks for spellings specific to your region. For American English, the correct option is “English (United States).” If you click “Set as Default,” the same settings will be applied to all new documents.

Applying a New Language to Existing Text

If you’re applying new language settings to an existing document rather than starting from scratch, you’ll need to select the text you want to modify first.

You can do this by selecting the passages you want to check and using the steps outlined above to pick a new proofing language. This also allows you to use different language settings in different parts of the same document, if required.

Alternatively, you can quickly select all of the text in a document using “Ctrl + A” (or “Cmd + A” on Mac computers), then apply a new language as described above.

Comments, Headers and Footnotes

For reasons beyond the comprehension of mortal minds, Microsoft treats the language options for comments, headers and footnotes as separate from the main text in your document.

The last thing you need is sneaky British spellings in your footnotes!

If you’re using any of these features, you’ll need to check that the language settings are consistent with the rest of your document. You can do this either by selecting the relevant text and using the process described above, or by following these steps:

  1. Go to “Styles” and right click the style you want to update (e.g., “Header”)
  2. In the dropdown menu, click “Modify…” to open a new window
  3. In this menu, click “Format” in the bottom left and select “Language”
  4. Pick the language required and click “OK”

This will ensure consistency between different parts of the document in question, which is especially important if your paper includes extensive footnotes.

Как поменять язык в Ворде

Когда пользователи задаются вопросом, как поменять язык в Word, в 99,9% случаев речь идет не об изменении раскладки клавиатуры. Последняя, как известно, во всей системе осуществляется одной комбинацией — нажатием клавиш ALT+SHIFT либо CTRL+SHIFT, в зависимости от того, что у вас выбрано в языковых настройках. И, если с переключением раскладки все просто и понятно, то со сменой языка интерфейса все чуточку сложнее. Особенно, если в Ворде у вас интерфейс на языке, который вы не совсем понимаете.

В данной статье мы рассмотрим то, как изменить язык интерфейса с английского на русский. В том же случае, если вам необходимо выполнить обратное действие, это будет еще проще. В любом случае, главное запомнить положение пунктов, которые необходимо выбирать (это если вы совсем не знаете языка). Итак, приступим.

Изменение языка интерфейса в настройках программы

1. Откройте Word и перейдите в меню «File» («Файл»).

2. Перейдите в раздел «Options» («Параметры»).

4. Пролистайте окно параметров до пункта «Display Language» («Язык интерфейса»).

5. Выберите «Russian» («Русский») или любой другой, который вы хотите использовать в программе в качестве языка интерфейса. Нажмите кнопку «Set As Default» («По умолчанию»), расположенную под окном выбора.

Изменение языка интерфейса для одноязычных версий MS Office

Некоторые версии Майкрософт Офис являются одноязычных, то есть, поддерживают только один язык интерфейса и в настройках его изменить нельзя. В таком случае следует скачать необходимый языковой пакет с сайта Microsoft и установить его на компьютер.

Скачать языковой пакет

1. Перейдите по ссылке выше и в пункте «Step 1» выберите язык, который вы хотите использовать в Word в качестве языка интерфейса по умолчанию.

2. В таблице, которая расположена под окном выбора языка, выберите версию для скачивания (32 бит или 64 бит):

  • Download (x86);
  • Download (x64).

Office Support

3. Дождитесь скачивания языкового пакета на компьютер, установите его (для этого достаточно просто запустить установочный файл).

Примечание: Инсталляция языкового пакета происходит в автоматическом режиме и занимает некоторое время, так что придется немного подождать.

После того, как языковой пакет будет установлен на компьютер, запустите Ворд и измените язык интерфейса, следуя инструкции, описанной в предыдущем разделе этой статьи.

На этом все, теперь вы знаете, как в Ворд изменить язык интерфейса.
