Office 2016 Mac Change Language

Purpose: You wish to deploy Office 2016 using the Microsoft Office Customization Tool (OCT) and PDQ Deploy to n machines within your organization. Notes: While this deployment is for 32-bit Office 2016 ProPlus, the steps can be easily modified for any Office 2016 product using the OCT for either x86 or x64 deployments.
As a Technician I frequently install Office 2016 for my customers. Every time I need both English and Greek (or other language) interface, I have to go to the internet, download the web installer and then wait for the language pack to download and install.
Thank Charles, accurate response to me. It is not enough to change Review Language Set Proofing Language. If the styles of the template (I was trying to change proofing language from EN-AU to EN-US) contain language setting (Modify style Format dropwdown Language.) in other language (in my case EN-AU) documents created from the template will have Proofing Language to the undesired.

Open the Start menu, select Microsoft Office Tools and then select Microsoft Office Language Settings or Language Preferences (depending on the Office version). Go to the Display Language tab, and deselect (click to remove the check mark) in the Set the Microsoft Office display language to match the Windows display language box.

Summary: Find language identifier and OptionState ID values for identifying and customizing Office 2016 language and proofing tools installations.

Use the values in the Language Identifier and OptionState ID tables to configure setup for Office 2016 or for Office proofing tools, or to identify currently installed languages.

This is a reference article. The values provided in the tables are necessary for completing procedures that are described in the following articles:

Important

This article describes methods of deploying and managing language packs for versions of Office 2016 that use the Windows Installer (MSI) installation technology, which are available for enterprises through volume licensing. If you have an Office subscription and you're deploying Microsoft 365 Apps, which uses the Click-to-Run installation technology, see Overview of deploying languages for Microsoft 365 Apps.

Language identifiers

Office 2016 is available in many languages. In an international setting, you can deploy multiple language versions of Office 2016 in a single installation process. Setup combines a language-neutral core product with one or more language-specific packages to create a complete product.

On the source media, language-specific packages are organized into separate folders. Each folder name has a language tag appended to it, in the form ll-cc. That tag identifies the language and culture. For example, U.S. English language folders are identified by the folder name extension en-us. The language tags help you determine the folders that you have to copy to the network installation point.

The language folders that are included in a fully localized version of an Office 2016 product are the same as the language folders that are included in the Microsoft Office 2016 Language Pack for a specific language. For example, the same Outlook.ar-sa folder is used in the Arabic language version of Office 2016, the Arabic language version of Outlook 2016, and the Office 2016 Language Pack - Arabic.

Note

Language tags are also referred to and used as 'language IDs' for some procedures.

Office 2016 offers localized versions in all the languages that are listed in the following table. Folders for the language-specific components are identified by the language tag that is shown in the table. The Windows operating system uses locale identifiers (LCIDs) to identify languages in the Windows registry.

In addition to the fully localized languages listed here, Office 2016 provides Language Interface Packs (LIPs), which contain a subset of language-specific components and are designed to be installed together with a logical parent language. Elements that are not localized in the LIP language appear in the parent language. For more information about LIPs, see Language Interface Packs.
