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!

Thanks for this awesome methods you’ve shared, though it appears that I can also use the office temporarily, is there any steps that I can do to activate my office for free? or should I need to do this steps again every time it will expire? Thanks in advance , looking forward for your reply. G*d Bless.
NO, after success activate, it will automatic renew activation after 180 days back to 180 days when you online.
I could not extract the files so I ran it as suggested but did not get the three files you suggested I get but when I try to run it I got an error message saying
“Couldn’t install
We’re sorry , we had a problem installing your office programs.

I somehow got it to install. I tried again and I think it has something to do with the office that I wanted to install. So I didn’t change the product ID. I suppose the files I got after I extracted them had something to do with that. So check carefully before you input the product ID
when i see this i think i cant do all of this and now
i understand that u put so good explains and i success to install it and active it also.
so ty very much and keep with the good work 🙂

I really appreciate your clear guidelines on help with ms office . However i got stuck in step 5. On running the .cmd file, I get “… press any key to continue”. This message comes on a “C:\WINDOWS\system32/cmd.exe” window. The installation process aborts thereafter.

There is, you just need go to:
