Microsoft Office 2010 Language Pack Arabic Install May 2026

Prerequisites

• Ensure you have Microsoft Office 2010 installed on your computer.
• Make sure you have the installation media or access to the installation files for Office 2010, as well as the language pack you wish to install (in this case, Arabic).

Select Product: When prompted, select Microsoft Office 2010 from the list.

Error 2: Installation stops at “Configuring Microsoft Office 2010…” and rolls back

• Cause: Corruption in existing Office installation or insufficient permissions.
• Fix: Run the Microsoft Office 2010 Setup Cleanup Tool (free from Microsoft), reboot, then reinstall Office first, then the language pack.

Notes:

• Install Now – Installs the full Arabic language pack (display + proofing) to the default location (usually C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office14).
• Customize – Allows you to select only proofing tools (spell check) without changing the UI language.

Known Bugs & Issues

• Mixed Text Frustration: If you are typing a document that mixes Arabic and English (e.g., a technical document with English brand names), the cursor jumping can sometimes be erratic. This was a known bug in Office 2010 that was improved in later versions (2013/2016).
• Font Rendering: Some users report that the default font (Calibri or Arial) does not render Arabic script as beautifully as modern fonts like "Dubai" or "Simplified Arabic" available in newer Office versions.

• The installation wizard will guide you through the process. When prompted, select "Continue" or "Next" to proceed with the installation.
