In many companies, Excel is often in English. But for a lot of people, it's not easy to work with the Excel functions in English. But no panic, you can easily change the language of Office.

Version before Excel 2013

Unfortunately, for all the Excel versions before 2013 - Excel 2010, Excel 2007, Excel 2003 (still 🤔) - the package languages are no more available ❌❌❌

Formerly, it was necessary to buy a specific package language and install it ; not friendly 😡

Version after Excel 2013

With the version of Excel 2013, Excel 2016, Excel 2019 and Office 365, it's very easy to change the language and free 😉

• Go to the menu File > Options
• Then you go to the menu Language (1)

• You can visualise the languages already installed (2)
• But if the language you want is not installed, you can download it (3)
