We have thousands of users in the Mekong Valley and they have requested to change their Office language. Is there a way to do this within Intune?

    Re-install with the desired language is the way to go.

    @Justin Lee, Thanks for posting in Q&A. Based on my research, currently in Intune, there's language option to set only when we deploy Microsoft 365 app via Intune. Here is a link with more details:

    https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/mem/intune/apps/apps-add-office365

    For the existing office app, I didn't find the option to change the office language directly in Intune. I think you can see if there's any PowerShell script to do this. If yes, then you can deploy the PowerShell script via Intune to do it in bulk.

    Hope it can help.
