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
