My phone and work apps are in the wrong language

Phone language and app language are usually separate. Microsoft apps follow the phone unless you set them otherwise.

Try this first

  1. 1Phone: Settings > General > Language and region. Put the desired language at the top.
  2. 2Outlook and Teams: Settings > Language inside the app. Some versions require a restart.
  3. 3Account language: sign in on office.com > Settings > Language and region. That controls email language and calendar holidays.
  4. 4Keyboard language: Settings > General > Keyboard. Add multiple languages and switch via the globe key.

When to bring us in

If an app stays in the old language after all the settings, reinstall it; ask us if it is policy-deployed.
