Easy Tech TutsHow to Change Microsoft Loop Language Easily 2026
By Impran M N
A mismatched interface language or spell-checker can slow down technical writing and trigger distracting typo highlights. This guide covers two ways to change your Microsoft Loop language — a quick URL-based override and a more permanent account-level setting.
01Try the URL locale override
Navigate to loop.cloud.microsoft and add a locale parameter, such as ?locale=en-us, to instantly force a specific language layout.
02Refresh the desktop app if needed
If you're using the installed Progressive Web App version, press Ctrl+R or Cmd+R to force it to match the new URL-based language setting.
03Update your account language preferences
Navigate to your primary Microsoft account settings page and open the Settings & Privacy section.
04Reorder your preferred languages
Move your target writing language to the top of the Preferred Languages list to lock it in as the application default.
05Sign out and back in
Return to your main workspace and sign out, then sign back in to let the changes take effect across your menus and spell-checker.
Frequently asked questions
Will changing my Loop language also affect spell check?
Yes, your account's preferred language settings influence both the interface text and the spell-check dictionary used in Loop.
Do I need to restart the app after changing the language?
Signing out and back in, or refreshing the app, is usually needed for the new language to fully take effect.
Can I change the language just for one session without affecting my account?
Yes, using a URL locale parameter gives you a temporary override without changing your permanent account settings.
Will date and currency formats change along with the language?
Regional formatting like dates and currency is tied to your account's language and region settings, so changing your preferred language can affect those too.
