    Hello,

    To change the Office display language -

    • Open any office app, such as Word or Excel.
    • Go to File > Options > Language.
    • Select the Add a Language option in the top-right corner of the page.
    • Select English, then select Move Up to move it to the top of the list as <Preferred> language.

    You can change the Windows display language to English and then, under the Office display language settings, select 'Match Microsoft Windows [English] <Preferred> ', as shown in the screenshot here.

    To change the Windows display language, go to Start > Settings. Time & Language > Language & Region > Windows Display language.

    Also, make sure to change the Office authoring and proofing languages.
