Microsoft Word 2008 top menu bar changed to chinese - ISSUE

After opening a MSfile the Leopard top menu when using Microsoft Word 2008 has been changed to Chinesse. This issue only happen with this product and not with the rest of the Microsoft tools that I have installed in my MacBook (example: Powerpoint). I'm including a print screen (as you can see only the iOS menu is changed to chinesse and not the software menu). I extremely need to change it back to English!

Thanks for any information and advice that you could provide

MacBook, Mac OS X (10.6.8)

Never heard of something like that. AFAIK, Office 2008 distributions do not contain localisation resources, so there would be no way for (US) Word to display menus in Chinese. Maybe you have a multi-lingual version? Check what's available in the Microsoft Language Register, although I was under the impression that it did not affect menu display. And… are you sure it's Word 2008 and not 2011?

Btw, an unrelated issue. Did you recently open a Word doc having to do with Tibet?
