Hi,
I bought the boxed version of Office 2013 Home and Business English edition at a local store.
I come home, open the box and there's no disc (!??)
I go to office.com/setup as per instructions, enter my key and then forced to created a microsoft account.
While creating the microsoft account, I chose by mistake Canada - French.
At the installation page, I realize that the selected language is French and that I cannot change it.
I go over all th My Account options to find the language setting in order to change it but no hope.
I figure that if I download the media maybe I will get the option of choosing my language... guess what.
I burn the image, pop the disc in and its only in French with no choice of choosing English!!!
Please Help I bought an English version, I want the English version!
Thanks,
Please note: this is not about the input language but the installation language (GUI)

Similar issue, Publisher 2013 went to the Spanish installer download not English. My Finger check I guess.
Your post worked fine for me. (changed es-es to en-us)
This morning I hit a problem with Excel which prompted me to use the Change option under Programs and Features. It was only at this point that I discovered that my Office suite is front-ended in Lithuanian
(office kodu ja kool). I certainly did not make this choice when I downloaded the software 4 months ago; nor have I seen any signs of it since. It seems to me that this change may have come in an automatic update done 3 days ago. I followed the instructions here to reinstall the en-us version. The first attempt did not work (I ended up with both versions of Office, presumably with some conflict). I then tried to uninstall all existing office software. The interface in Programs and Features did not allow me to do this; it did nothing at all as far as I can see. I downloaded the microsoft fixit for removing the office suite. This worked (but what a kludge!). Then I followed the instructions to fool the reinstall of the software from MyAccounts to give me the en-us version. This worked. However, the entry on MyAccount still shows that my office suite language is Lithuanian. I fear this may mean that subsequent automatic updates will undo what I have managed (in the course of the last 6 hours, which I shall not get back!) and revert to Lithuanian again. I should like to prevent that. I should like it even more if microsoft would discharge their responsibilities and fix this (...without me having to hang on a phone for hours...).
there is no link by that name anymore - "select the link 'Language and install options'
