“I have a copy of Microsoft Office 2016 on my laptop that is defaulted to the Thai Language. How do I change it to English? Thanks!”
If a language accessory pack is described as having partial localization, some parts of Office may still display in the language of your copy of Microsoft Office. If a language is listed only once, for example German, then that pack includes the tools for all countries/regions that use that language. Since Office 2016 that you have installed is a MSI version and the Language pack available from the below link is Click-to-run version which is not compatible with the MSI version of Office 2016. However, Once Microsoft releases a MSI version of language pack for Office 2016, you can download the same and install. Some language packs are sharable and some are not. Use the download links in the table below to download the language packs that can be shared. To use Microsoft Office in your preferred language, you can download an Office language pack.
No matter what the default language is, Office can easily be switched to the language of your choice. In this tutorial we’ll walk you through the procedure of changing the editing and display language in Microsoft Office 2019 / 2016.
