Mac Forum / Applications / MS Office / June 2008Japanese menus
Version: 2008 Operating System: Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) Processor: intel I bought a Mac because of the ease of switching languages. My wife is Japanese and I want to be able to switch languages on the menus for her in Office like the system switches. Is this possible? > I bought a Mac because of the ease of switching languages.

It's so easy to switch using Fast User Switching. This way you can set the new User as Japanese. Go to System Preferences --> Create a New User in Accounts. Switch to the New User by logging out/in or use Fast User Switching.

My problem is that when I switch the system to Japanese, Office still comes up in English. Do I have to buy the Japanese version of Office to get Japanese menus? iWorks switches without any issues at all. >> My problem is not in switching in the system. This is really quite easy.

I'm not certain, see this page for some help: Configuring Office 2008 for multiple languages <http://www.microsoft.com/mac/itpros/default.mspx?clr=99-15-0&srcid=51c7396 e-4d28-4c0e-99bb-a7c43c4521f31033&ep=9&target=73264c8f-de1a-41c6-b40a-b9376c 5aa62f1033> In case the above link does not work: http://tinyurl.com/45jk93 There are several MVPs that use multiple languages and they might be able to help out.

I've got Office configured to allow Japanese reading and writing in documents, but the menus remain in English no matter what I do. I may just be out of luck here. Thanks anyway. Hi Tim - What you've found is correct - Mac Office does not support multiple language menus. Each language version has language -specific menus.
