How to change the installation language of Office 2013

hi there,

I seem to be in the same boat as malek too.

somehow the language selection dropped one choice onto French.

I now have office 2013 in French and cant understand how to switch back to English.

MS phonelines have been rubbish, just back and forth to links that are not related.

I have uninstalled office now, but if I go back to office.com and to my account I just get an error saying come back later...

I selected English from a choice of English or Spanish and of course selected English but it took me through in English and when I opened it the programs were in Spanish. This is the issue with Microsoft and their soft list selection. A verification for the list selection would be nice and would save the Support Desk thousands of hours but who am I? Just a jerk who keeps buying Microsoft infested PC's.

It still works for me...

Hi Rohn007, Your link does not work. Can you update it? I am stuck...

Very helpful but it would be better if Microsoft was not FORCING their customer into default language selections based on location they are logging on from.

VERY frustrating business practice

This did not work for me on Windows 8.1.   You can't view downloads or then copy download link - only save, save as, or save and run. I saved it, got it from downloads, change it in my browser, and it still installed in Portuguese, which I do not speak. any thoughts?
