This article explains how to change the language used to display Microsoft Word menus and user interface. If you are using a Windows computer, this is very easy to do. If you are using an iOS or Android mobile device or a Mac, it is not possible to configure a language of Word other than the default of the operating system. However, in the latter case you can set a different language to make the changes.

Method 2 of 3: Windows computer

Step 1. Open a document using Word
You can open a project you are working on or you can create a new document from scratch. All the configuration settings you are going to modify will be active every time you use the program. For example, if you set French as your language for this new document, when you use Word again, the language set will remain French.

Step 2. Click on the File menu
It is located in the upper left of the program window.

Step 3. Click on the Options item
A new window will appear.

Step 4. Click on the Language tab
It is listed in the left panel of the "Word Options" window. The "Setting the language preferences for Office" section will appear in the right pane of the window.

Remember that changing this parameter will also change the language of all related Word features, such as dictionaries, grammar checking and sorting.
For example, if you have set up Spanish as your editing language, typing the word "home" instead of "case" Word will not report any errors

Step 6. Click the Set as Default button to confirm

Step 7. Choose the language for the Word user interface and help
The language you choose will be used to display the program's menus and dialogs.
