Language in browser version of Excel and everything "Microsoft 365" related doesn't change to English, it's in my local language

Question

It was in English for 3+ years now and just a couple days ago the language changed to Lithuanian by itself.

Everything else is in English, if not opened in browser - excel, word etc has their menus in English, windows - English, Browser - English, Outlook - english.

I'm using Chrome. Settings in Chrome are set to prioritize English. Settings in Microsoft 365 are set to English (all 4 of them)

Answer 1

Hi,

This is a common issue. In such cases, you can try the following steps-

1. Check the list of languages that Chrome uses to display web pages in addition to changing the browser's settings to make English the default language. Go to Chrome Settings > Advanced > Languages to access this list. Ensure that English is at the top.
2. Try clearing your browser's cache and cookies. This might help refresh the language settings.
3. Try opening Excel in a different browser (eg. Microsoft Edge, Brave) to see if the language displays correctly. This can help determine if the issue is specific to Chrome.
4. Make sure that your Windows language settings are also set to English.

Best Regards.

I know I'm a bit late to the party, but if anyone else runs into the same problem, try disabling adblockers if you have any. That helped me and it stayed English even after re-enabling adblockers.
