More about language settings
-
Changing your display language doesn’t affect the language settings for anyone else. If other people use the same computer, their display language is determined by their own Microsoft 365 settings.
-
You also set a display language when you sign in to Outlook on the web for the first time. However, the Microsoft 365 language setting overrides the setting in Outlook on the web if they're different.
-
Currently, more languages are available for Outlook on the web than for other services (such as team sites) in Microsoft 365.
-
The following Microsoft web applications currently use the display language set on this page: Outlook on the web, SharePoint in Microsoft 365, OneDrive for work or school, Excel, OneNote, PowerPoint, Word, Visio, Delve, MyAnalytics, Bookings, Calendar, People, Admin Center, and Office.com.
-
After you select a new display language it may take up to 24 hours to change in the following Microsoft web applications: SharePoint in Microsoft 365, OneDrive for work or school, Excel, OneNote, PowerPoint, Word, Visio, Delve, and MyAnalytics.
