Language of the user interface

Supported languages

The displayed language of the axesWord user interface adapts to the display language of Microsoft Office, provided that the display language is one of the languages supported by axesWord (applies to axesWord 24.0 and future versions).

axesWord supports the following languages:

  • English
  • German
  • Dutch
  • French

What happens if the language is not supported?

If the language set in Microsoft Office is not supported by axesWord, axesWord uses the language of the operating system. If the language of the operating system is also not one of the supported languages, the user interface is displayed in English.
