Microsoft Office is one of the most complete office suites thanks to which it is possible to perform in an integrated way and with the best functions every action on data, files , images and databases. Many times when we buy the Office package, in others because it comes preinstalled, it can come in a language different from our native one which makes a total change at the menu level and in the case of Excel 2019 it changes the way to execute formulas and functions affecting The optimal use of the application..


TechnoWikis will explain how we can change the language with which Excel 2019 is currently in order to take advantage of each of its features.
Note
This same process applies to Excel 2016.

Step 1

To start this process, we access Excel 2019 and go to the "File" menu where we will see the following. There we click on the "Options" line.

In this way it will be possible to have additional editing languages ​​for Excel 2019 and use them based on the need that arises, remember that each language uses its own syntax and settings so that we must be careful about what type of data we should use the new editing language since this implies new keyboard shortcuts, new revision and new formulas and if we are not used to it it can become a problem for information management.

Step 11

If we want the new language added to be the one present in all of Excel 2019, we must go back to the Options / Language section, and there in the Language field of the user interface select the language and click on the " Set as default. " Then click on "Accept".
