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?
 

Excel Facts

Control Word Wrap
Press Alt+Enter to move to a new row in a cell. Lets you control where the words wrap.
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.
