Changing the display and help language of Microsoft Office 2010

Hello there

I have recently purchased a new laptop from Taiwan and I am currently having difficulties trying to change the display and help language of the pre-installed Microsoft Office programs (such as Word, Excel etc.)

The language of the Microsoft Office programs were pre-installed with traditional Chinese, and I would like to change it to English UK. I've done quite a lot of research on how to change it but none of those solved my problem. The picture below shows the language options within tools in Microsoft Word:

I've set English UK as my primary editing language (in the first line of the editing tab), but in the tab below (the display and help languages) the only 2 options were "match Microsoft Windows <default>" and "Chinese (Traditional)". I have also changed the language and location settings of my laptop to English.

Much Thanks

Usually, Office only includes one display language, so you will have to purchase an English language pack. Go to http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msusa/en_US/pdp/productID.253665800?cdid=en%2Dus.
