Defective Grammar Settings dialog in Word 2013

This article leads me to believe that there are many (wonderful) ways to configure Grammar Settings: http://office.microsoft.com/en-001/word-help/select-grammar-and-writing-style-options-HP010354284.aspx

It does however not appear when I click the Settings button under Word Options, Proofing. Instead I see this:

Much of the text here is in danish, and I am indeed located in denmark. But I am running an english version of Office 2013 on an english version of Windows 7 and I was writing an english document and was getting Grammar suggestions for the english lannguage (which I want to adjust). There are no other options than "Grammatik" in the drop down.

Please help me adjust the english options in my english software and please do not make me travel to the United States or change my citizenship to do so.

If the language in the document is Danish, I can sort of see the rationale of having some settings in Danish, but given that the Spelling and Grammar settings are for the application, not a single document, this does seem a bit odd. I can reproduce this, however: if I set the language of an empty document to French (France), this what I see in that dialog:
