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
- 1Phone: Settings > General > Language and region. Put the desired language at the top.
- 2Outlook and Teams: Settings > Language inside the app. Some versions require a restart.
- 3Account language: sign in on office.com > Settings > Language and region. That controls email language and calendar holidays.
- 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.
