Changing the language of a MS Office product?

J

Jonam Ekstrøm

Hello,
You can ask them, but that's what you'll be told. You should have thought
about the language you wanted before you purchased, now shouldn't you...?

again: there are cases where you don't know that before. Sorry for repeating
myself, but: What if I live in Germany and will move to the United States?
There's some reasons for using an English version in this case. A good
program should be multi-lingual, by the way. This doesn't mean that Office
is bad. However, a multi-lingual user interface is standard for a good
application. I don't see why I should pay another $300 for exactly the same
product, just to get something that should be available by default: a MUI.

Regards Jonam

Hi Jonam,

MS Office Enterprise editions (multilingual)
are non-retail copies of MS Office for volume
license program holders.

MS Office retail editions have (depending on
the country of sale) different money back
guarantees. In the U.S. it's 30 days.

As a car with the steering wheel on the right
purchased in the U.K., will continue to operate
when driven in the U.S., non english language
editions of Office will as well :) You can read/
write in more than one language, but the menus
won't change language.
