How to change the installation language of Office 2013

I have the same problem. Microsoft support is friendly but not able to help: Blind for this thread, deaf for suggestion to refund. I tried that with that language URL, but it is not working at my end - well, I need the Belgian Dutch files (language=nl-BE) instead of en-US.

The resolution is mentioned on page 2 of this question.

Contact MS Support. Battle the dragon, keep asking to be transferred until you find someone you can convince to issue you with a new product key. They will cancel your current subscription and you start over.

It's not pretty, but that is all they have for you right now. It is a defect / bad decision in the design of the 365 admin pages. I hope they get around to fixing it some time soon!

There is easier way than calling and fighting with Microsoft Tech support and trying to get refund. As selected language is in the installation file download file URL with the parameter of e.g. "language=en-US"

I'm literally having the exact same issue.  Mine is in Portuguese as well.  I felt like such an idiot thinking that I had accidentally clicked the wrong language, but now seeing that sooooo many other people have experienced the same thing, I am wondering if it was a glitch.  Still trying to figure out a resolution.

Hi There,

for downloading Office 2013 in any edition.

• please go to your myaccount page in office.
• click on where it ask for install , with the architercture that you want to install. Do not bother about the default language that is selected.
• it will download a small click to run application.
• do not run that application. Just copy the link of that downloaded click to run application file. Once you get the link copy it and paste it in the address box of Internet explorer and then do the change in address, change language to install into "/en-us/".

That is all you need to do.

Thanks.

Brilliant smartsanddeep.  This worked for me. 

One bit of help for others: 

• when you save, click "view downloads"
• then right-click on the saved file and select "copy download link"
• paste URL into Internet Explorer and edit the link for your desired language (for me it was "fr-FR" to "en-us")

The nice thing about this method is that it works for other versions of Office 2013 (i.e. I am using Home & Business 2013) instead of the Office Pro Plus implied in RCTolentino's links (though that method may work as well; haven't tried it).

Your mileage may vary.
