Change the language settings in Microsoft Office Visio.

When Microsoft Office programs are installed on your computer, the software checks the Windows input settings to determine what language to use for the program. If you have a French version of Microsoft Visio installed, you can change the language settings back to English. Microsoft Office also has a tools program that will let you customize the language settings. You can also choose multiple languages to be displayed should you want to type in English but prefer a French help menu.
