Hi Thank you for reaching out to this forum. I'm Utkarsh and as a fellow Microsoft user, I'm here and ready to help you today. I am a user like you, this is a user forum and not Microsoft directly.

I would be more than happy to answer any other questions should you have them.

If you are experiencing issues with Microsoft web apps opening in a language different from the one you want, there are a few things you can try:

1. Check Browser Language Settings: The language used by web apps is often determined by your web browser settings. Make sure your browser is set to your preferred language. Here are steps for some common web browsers: Open Chrome or other browser. Click the three vertical dots in the top-right corner to open the menu. Go to "Settings." Scroll down and click on "Advanced" to expand the settings. Under "Languages," click "Language." Select English Us/Uk. Ensure that your preferred language is at the top of the list.
2. Clear Browser Cache: Sometimes, cached language settings can cause issues. Clear your browser cache to ensure that the web apps load with the correct language settings.
3. Configure the proofing language with each new document in Word, switch on the option to detect the language you're writing. On the Review tab, go to Language. Choose Language > Set Proofing Language, and then select Detect language automatically.
