With office 365 you can download language from your office language menu (goes to microsoft website) and a "reinstall" type process will be launched which adds the new language to the options.

But how do you do this with regular Office? (no subscription) Seems to me that you have to reinstall whole Office? There is no help or link in Office language settings in this situation.

Thank you very much for your idea, have a nice day.

Did you try File/Options/Language in Excel? There are help files in it.

Thank you. In Office 2016 I see no help, only showing available languages to switch, which doesn not contain the language I need. But thanks, maybe I will look again.

What about "Choose editing languages" on the same page? Right under the block that shows the installed languages, there is a dropdown box. If you click on it, it'll show all the available languages you can add. I'm using Excel 2010.

Yes, that changes the corrector language or things like that, but not the userface, like menus. Am I wrong? Thank you very much
