Okay I upgraded to 2016 successfully and my installed proofing tool didnt work with the new office.

So I uninstalled it and downloaded the Language Accessory Pack from here

But now my Office 2016 tools folder ( and contents in it ) in startmenu showing the new language pack.

How do I change it back to my default --> English ?

I tried changing everything under Office Language Preferences but nothing works and the tools folder and whats within it are shown in Malayalam which is the language pack I installed.

Im probably overlooking it

Any help appreciated!!

Thank You :)
