How to Change the Send to OneNote Add-in Language in Outlook

Product: Microsoft Outlook
Device & OS: Windows
Scenario: Using the Send to OneNote add-in in Outlook after installing a new Office language package.

Solution 1Recommended

Adjust Office Display and Editing Language Settings

Use this solution to manually reset the default language preferences within Outlook and Office to correct the add-in's language.

The add-in language is often directly tied to Outlook's primary editing language or the overall Office display language. Resetting these options usually resolves localized add-in discrepancies.

Open Language Options in Outlook

Launch Microsoft Outlook, click on 'File' in the top left corner, select 'Options', and then click on 'Language'.

Set Default Editing Language

Under the 'Choose Editing Languages' section, select English, click 'Set as Default', and remove Turkish from the list if it is no longer needed.

Set Default Display Language

Under the 'Choose Display Language' section, select English as the default display language, and remove Turkish if appropriate.

Restart Microsoft Office

Close Outlook and all other Microsoft Office applications completely, then reopen Outlook to apply the new language configurations to the add-in.

Adjust Office Display and Editing Language Settings

Global Settings Application: Changing the display and editing languages in Outlook will apply these language settings across all installed Microsoft Office applications on your device.

Solution 2

Run a Microsoft Office Repair

If changing the language settings does not fix the add-in, running an Office repair will fix underlying registry or configuration errors.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why did my Outlook add-in language change automatically?

Installing a new Office language pack can sometimes override the default display or editing language preferences for specific integrated add-ins like Send to OneNote, forcing them to adopt the newly installed language.

What is the difference between Quick Repair and Online Repair for Office?

Quick Repair fixes corrupted files locally without requiring an internet connection and is usually much faster. Online Repair completely reinstalls the Office suite by downloading fresh files from Microsoft, which takes longer but resolves more complex issues.

Can I set a different language just for the Send to OneNote add-in?

No, the Send to OneNote add-in does not have its own independent language setting. It relies entirely on the default editing and display languages configured in Microsoft Outlook or the overall Office suite.
