You can't switch User Interface Languages in Microsoft Office on the Mac.

Do you have an English version also installed?

If so, we may need to separate the installations into two separate user IDs.

Hope this helps

Hi John,
I dont have an English version installed also. Does that mean that i dont have any other opportunities ?

 

[John McGhie]

No, it means that *I* don't have a Danish version, so I don't know what to
tell you

I have sent the query off to the Microsoft localisation team ... Stay
tuned.

Cheers

I now have an answer from the Localisation Team:

"The Danish version has the User Interface in Danish, but the Help is in
English."

Apparently, the cost of translating the help is too high: you either get
English help, or no Danish product. (Translation is a VERY expensive job:
it all has to be done very carefully by human beings, and translators who do
a good job with computer text attract top rates.)
