Language issues

Question

My language settings changed in my office 365 software from English to Arabic. I tried the suggestion of changing the language back to English in the settings. But it's still not working. PLEASE fix this issue.....

Answer 1

Ok Saddiqua, Check if you have another different version of copy Office and if you don't use it uninstall. Be carefully with the way how you have installed Office.

I think the repair Office apps could help you.

keep me updated.

Answer 2

Thank you so very much for your expedient response. The problem is not occurring with m's y whole program, but with my Onedrive files. Every time I open it from online it changes to Arabic. But from my cell phone that's not happening. I'll try your suggestion to see if it helps

Hello Saddiqua

Thanks for posting Microsoft Community. I'm Marcos Independent Advisor.

If you have changed the Language from Office setting and it is not working then:

**How do you have configured the language in Windows 10?**I used a translotor to figure out what it says...and switched it to English again, but it didn't change it back.

Check that Language in Windows 10 is in English and then Try to change again in Office.

If that is not working I suggest to do a Repair Office apps:

Open Control Panel - Programs and Features

Click Microsoft Office in the list of installed applications

At the top, click 'Change'

On the resulting dialog, click 'Repair' - choose the online repair.

Also, check to see if you have more than two copies of Office and then uninstall the version is not using, it's possible that old version of Office could be causing the issue.

Let me know how it goes or you need further assistance.

Regards.
