Adding Language Packs for Office. The first thing you’ll want to do is add a language accessory pack for the language you wish to use. These language packs are completely free and are available for 32-bit or 64-bit architecture. Once on Office’s language accessory pack page, select the version of Office you are currently using.
An installation of Office 2016 can include applications or user interface elements in more than one language because some Office 2016 products are not available in every language.
This article describes the language versions that are available for a subset of Office 2016 applications, the Office 2016 applications that will work with Language Interface Packs, and the recommended base languages to install for Office 2016 Language Interface Packs.
Important
This article describes methods of deploying and managing language packs for versions of Office 2016 that use the Windows Installer (MSI) installation technology, which are available for enterprises through volume licensing. If you have an Office subscription and you're deploying Microsoft 365 Apps, which uses the Click-to-Run installation technology, see Overview of deploying languages for Microsoft 365 Apps.
Applications and language availability
In some non-English language versions of Office 2016, a specific Office 2016 application may not be available. For example, Access 2016 is not available in Hindi. Therefore, the Hindi language version of Office 2016 is installed in English.
Some Office applications are not available in some languages. Project 2016 and Visio 2016 are available in a subset of languages, as shown in the following table.

Language Interface Packs
For some languages, Microsoft localizes only some Office 2016 applications and releases them as Language Interface Packs (LIPs). These LIPs localize the user interface only, and not the Help content. Administrators must first install a fully localized base language version (see the table later in this section) of Office 2016, and then install the LIP. Users can then work in their preferred language in the following applications and features:
Excel 2016
OneNote 2016
Outlook 2016
PowerPoint 2016
Shared Office features
Word 2016
Skype for Business 2016, but only for the following languages:
Albanian: sq-SQ
Azerbaijani (Latin): az-Latn-AZ
Basque: eu-ES
Belarusian: be-BE
Catalan: ca-ES
Farsi (Persian): fa-IR
Filipino: fil-PH
Galician: gl-ES
Macedonian: mk-MK
Serbian (Cyrillic): sr-Cyrl-RS
Uzbek (Latin): uz-Latn-UZ
The remaining Office applications appear in the base Office 2016 installation language. The following table lists the base language for each LIP language.

Office 2016 Mac Greek Language Packs
Suppose that Office 2016 Pro Plus (MS ActionPack, MSDN subscription etc.) is installed on your PC but you still need to add some language support. In my case, I need to add the Russian proof tools to the English Office that includes already the French language support but doesn't contain any Cyrillic spell checking.
The recommended way is to download the language pack and install it. However, it doesn't work for me, the error 30182-4 is occurred. Unfortunately, none of proposed workarounds don't work for me (repair, full reinstall).

The solution is to download a language-specific Office ISO (Russian in my case) available for all MS subscribers and install it over existing English Office. Then go to 'Office Language Preferences', add required tools and set options.
