    Does anyone know how or could change the language of Office 2007?


    Does anyone know or have the experience of changing the language of menus and help in Office 2007? I don't mean changing the input language.

    I mean, does anyone know how to change the language of the menus and help. Because if there's someone who could do that, please help me.

    Before you reply me with some links...

    I followed the instructions on Customize language settings for the 2007 Office system instructions Customize language settings for the 2007 Office system : "Use policies to enforce language settings" and "Use the Language Settings tool to modify language settings"... Both dont work.

    Theres this last option that I couldn't understand how to do: "Use a Setup customization file to specify default language settings" - I didnt understand the instructions, I don't have a clue about doing this, if you know this, please help me.

    Thank you

    What language do you want to use. Office uses the Windows default language, so whatever language your main Windows 7 Operating System is set for then Office will use that language.

    Can you post back with more information.

    Sure. here we go again...

    !# I want to use Office in English

    2# English is my system default language.

    3# "whatever language your main Windows 7 Operating System is set for then Office will use that language."....
    This isn't true here. So what in world is wrong here?

    4# I installed a JAPANESE Office 2007 Professional CD. Everything in Office is in JAPANESE.
    Isn't there a chance that the JAPANESE CD is blocked to Japanese language no matter what default language you set?

    I don't know if this website will be of any use to you, but may be worth trying.

    Download Adding Microsoft Translator as the default translator for the Research task pane from Official Microsoft Download Center

    I have also notice that Microsoft no longer have language packs available for Office 2007. So you may have to end up buying Office 2010 or 2013 in English.
