@Jimbo: The LIPs are only available for some minority languages (Catalan, Icelandic, Khmer and so on) but not for major languages (French, English, German, Russian, Italian, Spanish and so on). It is important to notice the difference:
A
LIP, as told above only available in some minor languages, is not a complete language pack.
It does not change the language completely but instead changes the most common interface menus and such in selected language.
A language pack on the other hand changes the program completely to selected language. A
Language Interface Pack (LIP) in minor languages
should not be mixed with
full Language Packs.
If you want Office menus in
Georgian or
KiSwahili or Luxembourgish, you can get a LIP for free. For Office 2003, 2007, 2010 and 2013, see the official LIP download site: Office Language Interface Pack (LIP) downloads - Downloads
However, if your Office is in any of the official 36 languages like English, German, Russian or Spanish, and you want to completely change it to another major language, you need a Language Pack, which in case of Office 2013 costs you a little (in Euro region €19.99). For Office 2010 these language packs are free.
Sorry if I'm not understanding you here guys, I have Office 2010 installed in English but my wife wants it in French. By "wants it in French" I mean the ribbon and buttons and what not - not the spell check.
I have changed the display language to French but while help tips etc (and windows explorer every other application like live mail etc) turns to French, MS Office still refuses to.
Is this what I need? This is my current set-up BTW.
EDIT: No French language on these links. Oh well. I suppose I have to reinstall it in French and then I will not know what the buttons are for instead of her (unless there is another alternative).

French Microsoft Office Language Pack for Office 2010 from here:
