How to Change Microsoft 365 to Traditional Chinese on Android
Question details
The user needs to change the interface language of Microsoft 365 applications to Traditional Chinese on an Android device.
- Product
- Microsoft 365
- Device & OS
- Android
- Scenario
- Configuring application interface language settings.
- Observed behavior
- The Microsoft 365 app interface remains in English due to missing language files or improper syncing with the device's default language.
Ensure your Android device is connected to a stable Wi-Fi network and has enough internal storage space to download the necessary language packs.
Change Android System Language and Reinstall
Microsoft 365 on Android follows the system language. Setting the device to Traditional Chinese and reinstalling forces the app to download the correct language pack.
Since Microsoft 365 apps on Android do not have a built-in language toggle, you must adjust your device's global settings. Reinstalling the app ensures any missing Traditional Chinese language files are properly downloaded during setup.
Open your Android device's 'Settings' app, navigate to 'System' > 'Languages & input' > 'Languages'. Tap 'Add a language', select 'Traditional Chinese' (繁體中文), and drag it to the top of the list to make it the primary language.
Go back to 'Settings' > 'Apps' (or App Management). Find 'Microsoft 365' in the list, tap 'Storage & cache', and tap the 'Clear Cache' button.
Open the Google Play Store, search for Microsoft 365, and tap 'Update' if available. If the app is already up-to-date but still in English, tap 'Uninstall', wait for the process to finish, and tap 'Install' to download a fresh copy with the correct language files.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is my Microsoft 365 app still in English after changing the phone language?
This usually happens if the app's Traditional Chinese language file failed to download in the background. Check your Wi-Fi connection, ensure you have sufficient internal storage space, and reinstall the Microsoft 365 app to force a redownload.
Can I change the Microsoft 365 app language without changing my whole Android system language?
No, Microsoft 365 for Android does not currently offer an independent language toggle within the app settings. It strictly relies on the primary language set in your Android system settings.
Does WPS Office on Android support Traditional Chinese?
