Microsoft Office 365 / 2016

Using Office Deployment Tool to install Office 365/2016/2013 (Multilanguage

As you know, the default language of Microsoft Office is English (USA). Perhaps changing language is unnecessary if you live in an English-speaking country. But it would be very necessary if you were born in another country and English was not your native language.
Recently I have got many requests for issues related to installing language pack. So I gave it a try but without success. Honestly, I dont know much about this matter. I have always used the english version so I never thought about that.

At present, there is no way to install additional language in english version of Office Volume. In spite of that, I kept trying to find another way. After testing some ideas, I figured out a solution which helps you reinstall Office (there is a option which allows change language).

Supported products:

– Office 365

– Office 2016

– Office 2013

First, if you have Office (english version) already installed, please completely uninstall itfrom your drive.

Step 1: Download Office Deployment Tool from Microsoft homepage.

Deployment Tool for Office 2016/365 | Deployment Tool for Office 2013

Step 2: Extract the contents of this file. You will be left with some files (configuration files, EULA and setup.exe).

If you dont see “Extract to officedeploymenttool…” in the right-click context menu, just run this file, accept Microsoft Software License Terms, then click Continue button to extract files.

Step 3: Copy the following code and paste it into a new text document.

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22

<Configuration> <Add OfficeClientEdition="32"> <Product ID="ProPlusRetail"> <Language ID="ja-jp" />   <ExcludeApp ID="Access" /> <ExcludeApp ID="InfoPath" /> <ExcludeApp ID="Lync" /> <ExcludeApp ID="OneNote" /> <ExcludeApp ID="Outlook" /> <ExcludeApp ID="Project" /> <ExcludeApp ID="Publisher" /> <ExcludeApp ID="SharePointDesigner" /> <ExcludeApp ID="Visio" /> <ExcludeApp ID="Skype" /> <ExcludeApp ID="Skypeforbusiness" /> <ExcludeApp ID="Groove" />   </Product> </Add> <Display Level="Full" AcceptEULA="TRUE" /> </Configuration>

Before starting, let me explain.

Value	Description
OfficeClientEdition=”32″	Downloads and installs the 32-bit edition of Office. If you have 64bit Windows, just replace “32” with “64”.
ID=”ProPlusRetail”	Downloads and installs Office 2016 or 2013 ProPlus Retail. If you want to install Office 365, just replace it with “O365ProPlusRetail”. See list of product IDs here.
ID=”ja-jp”	Downloads and installs Japanese version of Office. If you want to change the display language, just replace “ja-jp” with your native language. See list of language IDs here.
<ExcludeApp ID=”Access” />	Defines which products would not be installed. If you want to install Microsoft Access, please remove this line. Do the same to the others.

Note: You need to edit the code based on what I explain above. Then save it as a config file using “.xml” extension.

For English Version : en-us

Step 4: Copy the code below into the new text document file.

1 2 3 4

@echo off cd /d %~dp0 setup.exe /configure config.xml pause

Then save it as a batch file with .cmd extension (eg install.cmd).

And make sure this .cmd file, setup.exe file & config.xml file are in the same folder.

Step 5: Right-click on the install.cmd file and run it as administrator.

Note: If you see error, just run this file normally instead of doing it with admin right.

Right now, the installation process starts.

Step 6: After successfully installing Office, you can activate it for FREE using KMS method.
