Why Slovenian Is Not Available as a Display Language in Microsoft 365 for Mac
Question details
The user wants to set Slovenian as the interface language for Microsoft 365 applications on Mac, but the option is missing despite being available on Windows.
- Product
- Microsoft 365 for Mac
- Device & OS
- Mac
- Scenario
- Changing the application's user interface and menu display language to Slovenian.
- Observed behavior
- Slovenian is supported for proofing tools but is unavailable as a display language for the Mac interface.
Ensure your Microsoft 365 for Mac is updated to the latest version, as Microsoft occasionally introduces new localization support during major software updates.
Submit a Feature Request to Microsoft
Since Slovenian is not officially supported for the Mac UI, submitting direct feedback helps prioritize its future development.
Microsoft develops Office for Windows and Mac on separate roadmaps, which leads to discrepancies in localization. Currently, there is no official announcement regarding when Slovenian will be fully supported for the Mac interface.
You can encourage Microsoft to prioritize this feature by submitting feedback directly through the application and voting on the community portal.
Launch any Office for Mac application (such as Word or Excel) and click on 'Help' in the top Apple menu bar.
Select 'Feedback' from the dropdown menu, choose 'I have a suggestion', and detail your request for Slovenian interface localization.
Visit the official Microsoft Feedback Portal and search for 'Slovenian Mac'. Vote on existing threads to increase visibility for the feature request.
Use an Alternative Display Language with Slovenian Proofing
While waiting for full UI support, you can still utilize Slovenian spell-check and grammar tools within your documents.
Try WPS Office for Mac for a Seamless Document Experience
If you are dealing with localized limitations and high subscription costs in Microsoft 365, consider switching to WPS Office. It offers a lightweight, highly compatible, and free alternative with a familiar user interface.
- 1. Download WPS Office: Visit the official WPS website and download the Mac installer.
- 2. Install the Application: Open the downloaded .dmg file and drag the WPS Office icon into your Applications folder.
- 3. Start Creating: Launch WPS Office and instantly open your existing Microsoft Office files without losing formatting.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will Microsoft add Slovenian to Office for Mac in the future?
Microsoft does not publicly share detailed development plans or localization timelines. The best way to track potential language additions is by following the official Microsoft Feedback Portal and update release notes.
Why does Windows have the Slovenian interface but Mac doesn't?
The Windows and Mac versions of Microsoft 365 are developed independently. Because they use different codebases, the availability of specific features and language packs often differs between the two operating systems.
Can I manually install a Slovenian language pack for Mac?
No. Unlike the Windows version, Microsoft Office for Mac does not support the manual installation of separate interface language packs. You can only select from the officially embedded languages provided by Apple and Microsoft.
