<p>As we await the launch of Office 2013, with rumors suggesting it will be made available to the public on March 31, Microsoft says it wants to expand the support for its productivity software suite to even more people across the world.</p><p>In a post on the Office blog, Microsoft has announced that Office 2013 will add three new localized Asian languages (Indonesian, Malay and Vietnamese). The blog says:</p><p>This means that the User Interface (UI) and User Assistance (UA) content will be available in these languages across Office--including Lync--and as a Language Pack for SharePoint Server 2013. These new language versions will be available to consumers to buy in 2013 and to enterprise customers as part of our Multilingual User Interface or MUI packs. Alongside the Office Client a dedicated Office.com site in the local language will provide more help and tools for making the most of the new Office.</p><p>In addition to the new localized languages, Microsoft will also include Language Interface Packs for 13 more languages. This will allow more people to access local UI in Word, PowerPoint, Excel and OneNote in Cherokee, Belarusian, K'iche', Kinyarwanda, Kurdish, Punjabi, Scottish Gaelic, Sindhi, Tigrinya, Uyghur, Valencian, and Wolof (sorry, no Klingon). That means Office 2013 will have some kind of support for 106 languages around the world.</p><p><a href="http://www.neowin.net/news/microsoft-office-2013-adding-more-language-features">Keep reading...</a></p>
