Language Pack For Mac



What are language files?

Step 1: Install the language accessory pack Select the version of Office you're using from the tabs below, then select the language desired from the drop-down list. Then choose the appropriate architecture (32-bit or 64-bit) from the download links provided. If you're not sure what you're using see What version of Office am I using? Click on the Apple menu and then 'System Preferences'. It's the black apple icon in the upper-left.

Almost every application on your Mac is available in more than a dozen languages and thus contains specific language files for that matter. Since you don’t speak most of these languages, such files just waste space on your Mac and can be safely removed.

How to clear out unnecessary language files manually

Language files are kept in package contents of applications you have installed on your Mac. You can find them if you open the Resources folder and find folders ending with “.lproj”. Every folder contains language files for one particular language and thus has a name of this language or its shortening. For instance, here are the language files of Skype.

In most cases, you can trash the folders and files for languages you don’t know or don’t speak. Note, that for every application you should manually find and select these files for removal. But, we know a way that's a bit easier.…

How to remove languages you don't use automatically

Instead of trashing language files manually for every single application, you can use CleanMyMac X to take care of it for you.
Just download the application, launch it, and then hit Scan.

When the scan is over, click Run. This will clean up your Mac from various system and application junk including unwanted language files.

Alternatively, you can proceed to the System Junk module, click Review Details and uncheck everything except Language Files.Moreover, you can manually edit the list of languages you want to be excluded from your system.

After you have done it, click Clean then to exclusively delete language packs for more space on a Mac.

Summary: Learn about the language packs and language interface packs that are available for Office.

An installation of Office 2016 can include applications or user interface elements in more than one language because some Office 2016 products are not available in every language.

This article describes the language versions that are available for a subset of Office 2016 applications, the Office 2016 applications that will work with Language Interface Packs, and the recommended base languages to install for Office 2016 Language Interface Packs.

This article describes methods of deploying and managing language packs for versions of Office 2016 that use the Windows Installer (MSI) installation technology, which are available for enterprises through volume licensing. If you have an Office subscription and you're deploying Microsoft 365 Apps, which uses the Click-to-Run installation technology, see Overview of deploying languages for Microsoft 365 Apps.

Applications and language availability

In some non-English language versions of Office 2016, a specific Office 2016 application may not be available. For example, Access 2016 is not available in Hindi. Therefore, the Hindi language version of Office 2016 is installed in English.

Some Office applications are not available in some languages. Project 2016 and Visio 2016 are available in a subset of languages, as shown in the following table.

Language Interface Packs

Add Language Mac

For some languages, Microsoft localizes only some Office 2016 applications and releases them as Language Interface Packs (LIPs). These LIPs localize the user interface only, and not the Help content. Administrators must first install a fully localized base language version (see the table later in this section) of Office 2016, and then install the LIP. Users can then work in their preferred language in the following applications and features:

  • OneNote 2016

  • Outlook 2016

  • PowerPoint 2016

  • Shared Office features

  • Word 2016

  • Skype for Business 2016, but only for the following languages:

    • Albanian: sq-SQ

    • Azerbaijani (Latin): az-Latn-AZ

    • Basque: eu-ES

    • Belarusian: be-BE

    • Catalan: ca-ES

    • Farsi (Persian): fa-IR

    • Galician: gl-ES

    • Macedonian: mk-MK

    • Serbian (Cyrillic): sr-Cyrl-RS
