Hi all,

I am a volunteer in a digital help desk. A customer had a problem. She
updated Outlook on her laptop, and it worked well. It has a different
view now, but the problem is that the language in Outlook is now
English. She wants it to change it back into Dutch. I have been looking
to options to change the language, but haven't found it.
Any of you have an idea?
Thanks much in advance.

With regards,
Fokke Nauta

I don't know about Outlook, but generally the language is chosen at
installation time. But some apps, the language is chosen at download time.

Since there are multiple versions of Outlook, the version in use makes a
difference on language choices.
Business Basic, Windows 10/11 included, and web based versions that
provide Outlook(Office for busines, Office 365 Small Business, Microsoft
365 admin, Outlook.com New, Outlook for Windows, Outlook on the web for
Exchange Server 2016, Outlook on the web for Exchange Server 2019)
- have an Settings option for Language(Language & Time or Region & Time
Zone

Business Standard, Premium, Apps for Business and Consumer
versions(Office 2016/19/21, Personal, Family) with 'desktop' installed
Outlook default to Windows but have a Language option in
File/Options/<Language>.
- Business version managed by an admin may have restricted(not
available, not present, present but not selectable).
- Versions with the Language option available may require downloading
the desired Language pack prior to being set as 'preferred'

Other versions provided by Gov, Business, Edu(e.g. Pro Plus) have
language may have settings controlled by the admin or if not restricted
by the end user.

Without knowing your customer's version, the above should provide enough
info for you to ask for more details or direct that customer in the right
or necessary direction.

I managed to get there through Help/ another Help on left/ type in
"language" on box that appears/ Change language and ..../ wait patiently
and then a dropdown Language box appears.

There's no Dutch available, although lots of Deutsch items; none for
Holland, though.

Possibly version specific(no Dutch)

But...M365 Family, Personal both provide Dutch[Nederlands]as an available
selection(Add/Download) for Display Language and also provide as an
Dutch[Belgium], Dutch[Nederlands] as an available selection for editing,
proofing, grammar.

Irrc - some stand-alone versions Office 2013 and later or Office Pro Plus
2013 and later may when supported have available and needed language
packs for download, but once no longer supported, language packs(online
download at office.com) have been removed or deprecated(i.e. still
functional if downloaded earlier)

Isn't there some version of Outlook.App that replaces the consumer Mail.App ?

The Mail.App seems to have gone missing from my Win11Home, and if
I check the Start menu there is an "Outlook <new>" in the list.

All I wanted to do, was check the Settings : General
for a language setting. But I can't, unless I kiss ass.

There was no chance to choose a language.

I haven't got a clue as to what version she has. I will take a look in
this and will come back.

I don't know. It looks different so that could be right.

OK, good that you found that. As there is no Dutch available, I'll give
it up.
Thanks anyway.

I will check which version she has.
And I understand that when it's M365, there is a Duch language
available. I'm curious.

It's got locales.

OK, how does Windows pass a locale as an environment variable ? Region setting is User Locale.

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/intl/locales-and-languages

LOCALE_USER_DEFAULT 0x0400 # and 0403 is English

By the way, the program name is "olk.exe".

The System Locale might not be the same as the User Locale (set in Region).
I also don't understand the different between "nl" and "nl-NL". As there
aren't folders for both in the installation. The program also has "en" folder
and not an "en-US" folder.

To examine the Region control panel, use right-click Start then the Run box
and run "control.exe", followed by the Region control panel. There is a Format
value of "Match Windows display language (recommended)", so presumably
the OS could be installed as an English one, and the problem now is
the user account Region setting.

The other possibility, is the setting is inside the Outlook.App itself.

Thanks, Paul.

It looks a bit complicated and I never used Powershell before, but in
case I can not change the language inside the Outlook app, I will try this.

On one machine I have the plain user in Spanish (the default or factory
language) and the admin user in English: I changed it after creation, it
took some time downloading files.

The machine started on W7, later updated to 10. I don't remember when I
did the operation, on 7 or 10.

One subtle correction on my part.
I classified the Office programs as versions, they are editions.

Once you find the installed 'editioin'
If the choices are in the installed program(Outlook, Word, Excel, etc.)
should be just a matter of selection.

If the choices are not in the program, close the program, then go
here(link below), download and install the language pack, then return to
the program and select the desired language.

<https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/language-accessory-pack-for-microsoft-365-82ee1236-0f9a-45ee-9c72-05b026ee809f#ID0EBBF>

Note: the Link says microsoft-365 but once loaded you can see it applies
to Office programs as far back as 2013. There is a comment in the
article, if the program is admin controlled, the admin installs language
packs.

It's possible that something is corrupted preventing the language choices
in the program as a selection but not functional...then it may be
necessary to repair Office, remove/reinstall Office or just download the
language pack(and follow the instructions in the above link).

Lol...no need to kiss anything. Just a few steps behind the available
information for Windows 11 made available in 2023.
On this Win11 Pro
- the Start screen, all apps has both items Mail and Outlook (new)

Open Outlook (new) and toggle the slider to the left(i.e. Off)
- the Mail app will open instead of Outlook (new)

Fyi
In the Outlook (New) app
=> Settings/General/Language
In the Mail app
=> You'd be wasting your time. No Language option in the Mail app.

Eventually(this year, later in 2024, the Mail app will be completely
removed from Win11, as well as the option to toggle the On/Off preference
for Outlook(new) - Outlook(new) will be the only option.
