We are planning to deploy Office 365 in our organization but we found a Language BUG when deploying it. For some reason, the Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications is in english but it should be in french... how to fix this ?

Everything else has installed properly with French Canadian language.

Thank you !

    Hi,

    It's possible that the VBA language is tied to the Office Display Language settings.

    To change the Office Display Language to French Canadian, follow these steps:

    1. Open any Office application like Excel.
    2. Go to the File Menu.
    3. Click on Options.
    4. Go to Language.
    5. Under "Choose editing languages", select "French (Canada)".
    6. Restart your MS Excel and check.

    Also, Ensure that your Windows operating system is also set to use French Canadian as the display language. Office 365 often syncs with the Windows language settings.

    Best Regards.

    To let you know guys... i added the Fr-FR language pack and now the problem is solved... so my guess is that Microsoft forgot to properly translate all the software to fr-CA.
