How can I change the language of application in online Microsoft365

Névtelen

Hello,

I have Microsoft 365 online and for some reason I cannot change the language of the apps. It is a company laptop, and my company is Romanian, so is my office apps. My colleagues from Romania can change their office applications to English, most of them using it like that, so it is not because my organization did not approve it.

For me there is not even an option button in Files in Word where I could change the regional settings. Under My Account all the language preferences/display languages are set to English. For outlook I have the desktop app and it is in English, but any other app is in Romanian.

I tried changing my regional language to Hungarian as well, but it was still Romanian.

In Excel I have the option button, but even if I change the language there (from Romanian to anything) it is not changing the menu language.

Please let me know what else should I try.

Thanks

Hi Soma,

Thanks for contacting us and sorry for the inconveniences,

There are some possible reasons why you can't change the language of your apps, and some possible solutions that might help you:

One reason could be that your Microsoft 365 online apps are using the language settings of your browser, rather than your account or regional settings. To fix this, you can try changing the language preferences of your browser, and then restart it. For example, if you're using Google Chrome, you can go to Settings > Advanced > Language and click the three dots next to the language you want to use. Then, select Display Google Chrome in this language and Move to the top.
Another reason could be that your Microsoft 365 online apps are using the language settings of your SharePoint site, rather than your account or regional settings. To fix this, you can try changing the language settings of your SharePoint site, and then refresh the page. To do this, follow these steps:
- On your team site, select Settings > Site settings.
- In Site Administration, select Language settings.
- On the Language Settings page, select the alternative languages that your site should support.
- Click OK.
A third reason could be that your Microsoft 365 online apps are using the language settings of your Office profile, rather than your account or regional settings. To fix this, you can try changing the language settings of your Office profile, and then sign out and sign in again. To do this, follow these steps:
- Select your name or picture at the top of any SharePoint or Microsoft 365 site in your organization.
- Select My Office profile and then Update profile.
- Select How can I change language and regional settings? and then select the here link.
- In the Edit Details screen, select the ellipsis (...) and then Language and Region.
- Update your settings.
