Proofing tools for Office 2010

I'm trying to find proofing tools for Office 2010 on MS site, but something is completely wrong. All the links now bring me to the Office 2013 options. Even the link "Download a Language Pack for Office 2010" on http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/language-packs/office-2013-language-options-FX102851176.aspx brings me to Office Language Pack 2013 page.

Actually I don't need the full language pack, I just need the spellchecker working for some languages (russian, estonian, some more). As I see it is possible to freely download such proofing tools for Office 2013, but they don't work with Office 2010.

What I show do and where I can them?

Thanks in advance,

Vadim

    I need spanish proofing tool on Office 2016. The language is there but the proofing tool not. Strange enough the language pack is correctly installed, even if I cannot unistall it from Windows control panel. Any suggestion? Thanks

    While you had to pay for Language Packs for Office 2010, they are, for the most part, free for Office 2016

    Thanks Doug, but to say that's disappointing would be a massive understatement. Given these were free with my win 7 ultimate install and office 2010, for Microsoft to expect me to now pay for an upgrade and then pay for the language packs just ain't gonna happen any time soon. I guess I'll go use some different tools.

    It says Service Pack so whatever it is I doubt that it is a full version.

    Hello folks,

    I have found this link. I am trying to install right now to see if it works. 

    https://www.microsoft.com/pt-br/download/confirmation.aspx?id=39673

    In my case, I am looking for a Portuguese package for proofing tools on Office 2010.

    I will post here an update in case it works or not.
