Hello Melinda, When you download the English version, the GUI (graphic user interface) will be in English (the menus, the help, the dialogs the program uses to communcate with you). The language(s) you use in the text are another matter, and you can chose them as you wish. In Tools > Options > Language settings > Language you can select the language you usually use (Western script, but also asiatic and complex scripts) . In Format > Character > Font type you can chose a language for (a part of) a text - if the vABC stands nex to the language, the word list for spell checking is available for this language.
