How to change the installation language of Office 2013

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)

    I've just successfully changed it.  I installed Finnish instead of English.  After I installed it I found I could change the langauge in places but I was a problem when I pinned Outlook to the task bar.  When I opned Outlook from the taskbar it was still in Finnish.  I contacted the Microsoft Answer Desk and chatted online  and they sorted it by going onto my laptop remotely.  I think the following is a link that will work and they did it online remotely for me.    https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/answerdesk/chat?

    I'm having the exact opposite problem my account was set up by a friend who is better with computers then I am they choose English rather then French so I was very confused they should have little settings in office products to change language instead of having to change it on your account
