The language of my keyboard is in Portuguese, it turns out that due to the insertion of commas and dots in my Excel for my program to work I have to change it to English, it is possible to create a macro that when initialized changes the computer keyboard language to English and when the macro is finished change it back to Portuguese?

What is the shortcut key for Format Selection?
Ctrl+1 (the number one) will open the Format dialog for whatever is selected.
Fix: Windows display language instead of keyboard language

You should fix your program, not manipulate user settings.

but is there a way to change the language? It's more accessible at the moment, as I have a short deadline to finish the program.

I'm sure there is a way, but it would involve windows API calls so is probably not that simple, as well as not being a good option.
