Users downloading the classic Outlook app from the Microsoft Store are encountering issues with language compatibility. Many have reported that selecting a specific language, such as Swedish, results in receiving the English version instead. Similarly, those opting for the English version often find themselves with the Portuguese edition.
Although a previous problem was addressed through the introduction of a drop-down menu featuring various language options for the standalone installer, challenges remain when installing the classic Outlook through the Microsoft Store. Even after selecting a desired language, users may receive an unexpected version instead. Microsoft has acknowledged these concerns and stated that their Office Team is working on a resolution.
However, the fix is scheduled to be implemented on Monday, April 14, 2025, which leaves users waiting for a definitive solution. This situation highlights the importance of consistent user experience across platforms and languages. Despite the efforts made to enhance the installation process, the lingering discrepancies continue to cause frustration among users who rely on the classic Outlook app in their preferred languages.
As the rollout date approaches, many will be keeping a close eye on the developments from Microsoft, hoping for a seamless experience moving forward.
