Step #1
First, select File in the PowerPoint menu. Then go to Options – a window will open. Select Languages.
You can change both editing language (to check spelling and grammar) and display language (defines language of tabs and features).
If your desired language is already in the menu, you can simply click on it and then select Set as default – Close PowerPoint and restart –
your language should be changed now, and you are all done.
If you cannot find the language you want, click on Get more display and help languages from Office.com and proceed with the next step.
Step #2
The Office-webpage now opens. Scroll down a little and you will see a selection box that asks you what language you need. Choose the one you want. In a grey box, two different versions for download show up: 32-bit and 64-bit. To check which one you need, simply go to your computer settings > System > About. Under Device Specifications, you will see whether you have a 32 or 64-bit operating system. Download the version that matches it.
Step #3
Install the language you just downloaded. To do so, just follow the instructions you get during the installation process. Once that is finished, we will repeat what we did in the first step (File > Options > Languages) Your new language should appear now. Click on it, press Set as default and close the Options-window. Next time you start PowerPoint, the language will be changed.
