Download libreoffice language pack mac for free. Productivity downloads - LibreOffice Language Pack by libreoffice and many more programs are available for instant and free download. Dragging the language pack into the applications folder does not result in a new interface language, and neither does this result in an extra option in the 'preferences/language' menu. Disclaimer: no Mac head here. On your Mac, choose Apple menu System Preferences, then click Language & Region. Step 1: Install the language accessory pack Select the version of Office you're using from the tabs below, then select the language desired from the drop-down list. Then choose the appropriate architecture (32-bit or 64-bit) from the download links provided. If you're not sure what you're using see What version of Office am I using?
