Did you see this article : http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/support/change-the-default-language-for-office-programs-HA010356057.aspx

check this too : http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/office-language-packs-FX101825698.aspx

Thanks the links, basically as I understand so Office 2010 language pack should be installed? I am not sure that is free?

>that is free?
no, $25

yes its free.

You may already have these tools if you have Office 2010 in any language
In this cas it's free  of course

If you don't have it, you need to buy it.

Use this link to check :

Following the instructions that opening an office program so Word for example, there selecting File/Options/Language, I can see that the default language is changed to English.

So probably the company computer guy installed the english language package.

In this way the question rather is it possible that inspite of this the menus still in Polish? I mean it is fact that they are still polish. Do you have any idea why?

thanks,

Follow the instruction in my last link and confirm the English language is activated

> is activated

is set by default

ah I was not aware of that, sorry

Leakim following your link and this section

"Click Start, point to All Programs, point to Microsoft Office, point to Microsoft Office Tools, and then click Microsoft Office 2007 Language Settings."

So there I can see the US English language set, but inspite of this the office Help, program menus and formulas are in polish

and set by default

if yes, very strange...

@cjrmail2k this is my link ID:36490926

ah I see. I was pointing csehs to the text on the page where it explaing that there are various ways you can apply the language pack.

no worry my friend

Basically in that window there are three small sections, hard to translate but the
- first seems writing that the dictionary would be on which language - there it is default US English
- the second section writes about the language of the buttons etc so I assume the menus, there are two lines, the first is a language which is equal to the operation system and default, the second is polish.
- the third section is the language of the Help, also there the first is the operation system language, the second is polish.

The Windows 7 is sure english so in any case the office language should be english. Maybe my only chance remaing trying to remove those polish languages from the second line and who knows will change

you can extend a section to see the available language for each software, did you check this section (bottom)

sounds like a good place to start. Once done remember to close and open the office app that is running.

Just one thing yet, on the bottom of that screen there is a sentence around - Show languages which are installed for each program in Microsoft Office

Access - Polski
Excel - Polski
InfoPath - Polski
OneNote - Polski
Outlook - Polski
PowerPoint - Polski

In my understanding so the company guy did not install probably that mentioned language pack. And not possible to do anything without that

Ah okay Leakim you proposed the same which I wrote in my last comment

yes

Thanks the help so in summary

- the language package is not free
- as it is a company computer so the question whether the company bought or not
- if bought then it needs just installation, and checking in Word for example, there selecting File/Options/Language, whether in the bottom row are still polski texts or english

Thanks just again, basically that own installation is problematic because the IT department can do software installations, I do not have even the source from which place they start. So closing the topic
