Do I need to buy a different version of Office to change the menu language?

D

Dorian Gray

I am intending to buy the latest version of Office (for Mac OS X, but I
don't think that is relevant). I am eligible for the Student edition,
and I see that I am allowed to install it on three machines at home. If
I would like the Office applications on my computer to have the menus in
English, but I would like the Office applications on my mother's
computer to have the menus in Italian, can I achieve this from the same
Office installation CDs? If so, how do I do that?

Or is that not possible unless I buy two different Office language
versions? On Amazon or the Apple Store, the MS Office products had no
indication of the language(s) available for menus, or whether they were
solely English etc., even on amazon.fr.

I hope someone from Microsoft can give me categorical information, so I
can go ahead an make the purchase.

Yes, you will need 2 different Office packages for this to work. You can
try to see if Amazon has an Italian site and order your Mac Office from
there as they will most likely only sell the version in Italian.
