Video Transcript:
Step 1. Open Microsoft Word, and then click "File," which is the first tab in the top left corner of the screen. The File menu opens.
Step 2. Click "Options" in the bottom left corner of the screen. The Word Options window opens.
Step 3. Click "Language" in the menu on the left side of the window. It's the sixth item down in that list. Language settings appear on the right side of the window.
Step 4. Find the Office display language section at the top of the window, and then click "English" in the list. If the first item in the list says Match Microsoft Windows with English in brackets next to it, you can leave that as your preferred language instead, so Word always follows your computer's language.
Step 5. Click "Set as Preferred" to the right of the list. English moves to the top of the list, with the word "preferred" next to it. Click "OK" in the bottom right corner of the Word Options window. A message appears letting you know you need to restart Office for your language changes to take effect. Click "OK" on that message.
Step 6. Close Word completely, and then open it again. Word's tabs, menus, and buttons now appear in English. Keep in mind this setting is shared across Office, so Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook switch back to English too.
If English isn't in the Office display language list, click "Add a Language" to the right of the list, choose English, install it, and then come back to this screen and set it as preferred. And if only your spell check is in the wrong language, go to the Office authoring languages and proofing section below it on the same screen, click "English," and then click "Set as Preferred."
