Microsoft Office supports multiple languages, and when you install it, it sets the Windows default language as the default language of the Office. Microsoft Office is offered in many different languages, and even many regional languages of countries are also available for Microsoft Office. If you need to change language in Microsoft Office, you can do it easily by following simple steps.
If you recently got a laptop that came with licensed Microsoft Office and licensed Windows, then you will not be able to format the system fully. Just resetting the system and uninstalling the programs was the only option left for you. No matter what the default language is, Office can always be set to the language of your choice. This option is handy for the Non-English speaking regions. To change the language on Microsoft Office 2019/2016/365, follow the steps below.

1] User Interface
With any of the applications of Microsoft Office, select Options from the File ribbon. In the Options dialogue box, select the Language tab. There must be a couple of languages that you can select and set as the default language. You can also click on the Add a Language button if you don’t find your language. It will display a list of languages you can install and set the selected language as the default language when installing it.
2] Proofing Section
The same section has the option to select language for Proofing. If you use the built-in checker, you should install the language to proofread the document.
