Microsoft® Office 2010 Change Language

What is the need to change the display language in Microsoft Office 2010? Which are the language packs available that you can use?

Microsoft Office 2010 is a productivity suite used on Windows and even Mac-based PCs; it is a successor to the Microsoft Office 2007 suite. Microsoft Office 2010 Language Packs are add-ins, which enable desktops to support multiple languages, including text in menus/display, Help, Dictionary, Thesaurus, and Spell Checker. Language Packs enhance the user experience as you can pick a language that you are comfortable in and thereby speed up your productivity. In addition, you can use particular features of the language pack, if not the whole and use it in the best possible manner. For example, you could choose to use only the spell checker feature to proof-read a document in a language other than the default one that is configured on your PC.

Language Packs for Microsoft Office 2010 enable the localized Menus/Display, Help, and document proofing tools for most applications in the suite including:
