Changing your Microsoft 365 language now that Delve is gone
This how-to guide details the steps to change users Microsoft 365 profile language without Delve
In brief
To change your display-language preference after Delve, follow the profile route through Update your profile, Data and privacy, and Language and Region, then replace the language and save. The interface may appear inconsistent afterward because changes propagate gradually, with some navigation and menus taking substantially longer than the initial update.
Until Dec 16, 2024, the way to change your Microsoft 365 profile language was via Delve. But now Delve is gone.
How do you change your language, your time zone, and your regional settings?
The procedure is only slightly different from before.
Open your Microsoft 365 profile
1. In your personal menu, click on My Microsoft 365 Profile (unchanged)
2. Click on Update your profile under your name (different page, different place, but
similar)
Find your language settings
3. Click on “Data and privacy”
4. Click on the word "here" (same word, different context)
5. click on the ellipsis (...) and then choose Language and Region (unchanged from here)
Choose a display language
6. Under Language/Language Preference/My Display Languages, delete the current language
7. Click on Pick a new language and select the new language
8. Note: there are lots of different versions of the language. It doesn't matter which one you pick, with the exception of Portuguese and Chinese, where it does matter
9. Click on "Add"
Save your changes
10. Scroll to the bottom, and click "Save all and close"
Wait for the update
11. Wait about 10 to 15 minutes. It's hard to tell how long you have to wait for it to take effect
12. Parts of the page, like Hub navigation and personal and site menus will be in the right language when you come back tomorrow.
