Tooltip language

Question

How can I change the tooltip language in Office 2016 from the installed language?

When I installed Office 2013 it was very easy, but I can't see how to do it in Office 2016 - or maybe I just forgot.

Thanks

Hi Patricia

Happy Christmas.

Sorry, this feature is not available in Office 2016. You need to install get more ScreenTip languages from Office.com. After you install a new ScreenTip language, it becomes your default ScreenTip language.

You may refer to the article for more information refer the article below.

No, this did not help me.  Your screen shot appears to be of Outlook.  But I want tooltips in Word, Excel, PowerPoint, etc.  I DO NOT have Set your ScreenTip language in Options, as you do.

What now?

Thanks for your help, but your answer doesn't help me.  I have office 2016 and Set the Office Language Preferences is not on the Options list.  I have

Choose Editing Languages

Choose Display and Help Languages

Underneath this last one, there is View display languages for each Microsoft Office program.  I do not have Choose ScreenTip Language.

What do you suggest?

Thanks.
