How do I change display language for Office 2007

[aaaro2002]

I am using Windows XP with the default language in german. I recently
installed Microsoft Office 2007 and the menues appear in english. How do i
change this to german. I want to have the menu for office also in german.
I've tried everything, including to change the default language from Office
language settings, but there seems everything to be in order (german is
selected everywhere), but still the menues appear in english. Please help me!!

Hi,

Since you have an English version of Office, you will need to buy the German
Language Pack for Office 2007.

Single Language Packs for Office 2007, which include the proofing tools for
one given language (spell-checker, thesaurus, grammar checker, etc), as well
as the UI and Help in that language are available from a number of online
stores worldwide. Check this out:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/suites/FX102113661033.aspx

You can click on the link “Buy a single language pack now”. You then just
have to pick your country from the drop-down list and you will be directed to
the most appropriate store, as a function of your location. Some of the
stores are localized for the market or the region. You can then select the
language you are interested in and click the “Buy Now” button.

If you want to know more about Language Packs for the 2007 Microsoft Office
system, check out the Frequently Asked Questions on the Office site:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/suites/HA102113701033.aspx

Customers can only purchase products in the online store for their region
accessible from the localized Office Online sites). Otherwise, credit card
validation will fail. So if you are from outside the USA, customers should
not try to purchase these Single Language Packs from a US site. For Western
Europe, for instance, the purchase site can be directly accessed via
http://buy.trymicrosoftoffice.com/buyemea1. For the rest of Europe, the URL
is http://buy.trymicrosoftoffice.com/buyemea2.

I hope this will help you,

Best wishes,

Click Start, point to All Programs, point to Microsoft Office, point to Microsoft Office Tools, and then click Microsoft Office 2007 Language Settings. This displays the Microsoft Office Language Settings 2007 dialog box.
Click the Editing Languages tab.
In the Primary editing language list, click the primary language in which you plan to work.
