Using Office Deployment Tool to install Office 365/2016/2013 (Multilanguage)
As you know, the default language of Microsoft Office is English (USA). Perhaps changing language is unnecessary if you live in an English-speaking country. But it would be very necessary if you were born in another country and English was not your native language.
Recently I have got many requests for issues related to installing language pack. So I gave it a try but without success. Honestly, I dont know much about this matter. I have always used the english version so I never thought about that.
At present, there is no way to install additional language in english version of Office Volume. In spite of that, I kept trying to find another way. After testing some ideas, I figured out a solution which helps you reinstall Office (there is a option which allows change language).
Supported products:
- Office 365
- Office 2016
- Office 2013
First, if you have Office (english version) already installed, please completely uninstall it from your drive.
Step 1: Download Office Deployment Tool from Microsoft homepage.
Deployment Tool for Office 2016/365 | Deployment Tool for Office 2013
Step 2: Extract the contents of this file. You will be left with some files (configuration files, EULA and setup.exe).
If you dont see “Extract to officedeploymenttool…” in the right-click context menu, just run this file, accept Microsoft Software License Terms, then click Continue button to extract files.
Step 3: Copy the following code and paste it into a new text document.
<Configuration>
<Add OfficeClientEdition="32">
<Product ID="ProPlusRetail">
<Language ID="ja-jp" />
<ExcludeApp ID="Access" />
<ExcludeApp ID="InfoPath" />
<ExcludeApp ID="Lync" />
<ExcludeApp ID="OneNote" />
<ExcludeApp ID="Outlook" />
<ExcludeApp ID="Project" />
<ExcludeApp ID="Publisher" />
<ExcludeApp ID="SharePointDesigner" />
<ExcludeApp ID="Visio" />
<ExcludeApp ID="Skype" />
<ExcludeApp ID="Skypeforbusiness" />
<ExcludeApp ID="Groove" />
</Product>
</Add>
<Display Level="Full" AcceptEULA="TRUE" />
</Configuration>
Before starting, let me explain.
| Value | Description |
| OfficeClientEdition=”32″ | Downloads and installs the 32-bit edition of Office. If you have 64bit Windows, just replace “32” with “64”. |
| ID=”ProPlusRetail” | Downloads and installs Office 2016 or 2013 ProPlus Retail. If you want to install Office 365, just replace it with “O365ProPlusRetail”. For Project/Visio, just use “ProjectProRetail” or “VisioProRetail”. See list of product IDs here. |
| ID=”ja-jp” | Downloads and installs Japanese version of Office. If you want to change the display language, just replace “ja-jp” with your native language. See list of language IDs here. |
| <ExcludeApp ID=”Access” /> | Defines which products would not be installed. If you want to install Microsoft Access, please remove this line. Do the same to the others. |
Note: You need to edit the code based on what I explain above. Then save it as a config file using “.xml” extension.
Step 4: Copy the code below into the new text document file.
@echo off
cd /d %~dp0
setup.exe /configure config.xml
pauseThen save it as a batch file with .cmd extension (eg install.cmd).
And make sure this .cmd file, setup.exe file & config.xml file are in the same folder.
Step 5: Right-click on the install.cmd file and run it as administrator.
Note: If you see error, just run this file normally instead of doing it with admin right.
Right now, the installation process starts.
Step 6: After successfully installing Office, you can activate it for FREE using KMS method.
If you would have any questions or concerns, please leave your comments. I would be glad to explain in more details. Thank you so much for all your feedback and support!

I changed the details to install office 365. however i ended up with office 2016. I would really like to have office 365. any help would be highly appreciated.
Office 365 selling point is can update to Office 2016 in windows 8.1 or under.
So when you install office 365, it will also update to Office 2016, that is Office 365 base office 2016 version.
It still can get all future office 365 feature update.
The same thing happened to me.. I don’t understand how to fix this, I really would like to install Office365.
If you want office 365 without any upgrade or update, that meant when you install office 365, don’t connect internet. After complete install office 365, first stop allow office 365 upgrade before reconnect internet for activation.
But that meant you cannot let office 365 do any update or upgrade.
Hello Guang,

you need to make sure the config.xml file is on the same folder/directory. Once you have it, run the Install.xml file it should automatically start installing.

where can i find the code? i tried to extract the file thrice but nothing happens.-,-
go to bit.ly/office365txt
Save the commands in a text file and save as activator.cmd
Run this file as an administrator and viola the product will be activated.
Once office 365 has been installed, it says click start to view your apps. However, I do not find any Start option available. Moreover, when I ran the activator, the activation was successful.
Where do I find the installed application and how do I use it.
Thanks for the help till now.
Try the search bar or open the office and open them from there.
thanks, it is activated successfully,

Na parte que tem:
Voce muda esse ja-jp por pt-br
Salva o arquivo, na mesma pasta e executa.

Make sure you have a decent Internet connection and your PC does’t download anything else while installing office. Stopped all my downloads and it going way faster!
Thank You!!!!
Hi, when I open the KMS activation for 365 version, having installed it, it says me that the version is incorrect. What can I do?
Hello. I want to install office 365 and followed the steps accordingly. But can I activate the product with a KMS license key? It appears that on the link you gave for activating the product with KMS keys, there were no videos for Office 365. Can you please help me?
I’ve tried to install Office 2019, and then Office 2016. After following all the instructions, it always ends up with the following message:
“Sorry! Your version is not supported.”
What I might be doing wrong?
Check the version 32 or 64 bit.
Just change it and its done
it works…great..thanks bro
thanks a lot ! Be careful people, you have to change the lanugage as explained in the first text file before making it a config file, if you don t want it japanese.
Just on step 4, if you just said “into a new document file” instead of “into the new” it would be even just a bit clearer 🙂
