Microsoft Office 2010 Language Packs
I translate Ru En and operate my computer in English, but sometimes need proofing and hyphenation capability in Russian. When I was running XP with MS Office 2003, I bought Office 2003 Proofing Tools on a CD. That worked fine.
Now I have had to 'upgrade' to Windows 10 and was sold Office 2010 on the basis that a one-time license purchase was cheaper than the annual '365' subscription for Office 2013, 2016, etc., and was advised that Office 2010 is fully supported by Microsoft and will be for y.

When I go to download Office 2010 Proofing Tools, however, all links lead me to an MS notice that Office 2010 language packs have been 'discontinued' and I should get the '365' sub. And I can't find them for sale on a CD. Have others had and solved this problem?I'm prepared to go and buy the 365 subscription, but am concerned at having read in this forum that Office 2016 may be incompatible with aspects of Wordfast Classic, particularly working from Excel or PowerPoint originals.Edited at 2017-05-09 03:42 GMT ▲.

I still use Word 2000, from back in the days when you were allowed to use your own software on an infinite number of computers.
It works in Windows 7 and 8 but not in Windows 10, which I now have on a tablet I don't often use. Kingsoft Office up to 2013 had a 'Classic Interface' which is very like MS Office 2003, and it is compatible with Windows 10.

Kingsoft Office is now mostly available in the 2016 version, but the 2013 one can still be found here:It doesn't have language packs of its own but if you have one, it can be added.

WF Classic WILL NOT WORK with Excel and PPT in MS Office versions higher (more recent) than 2010. I was convinced to upgrade to the 2016 version by my tech guy, who doesn't know anything about CAT tools and compatibility.The 2016 version of Office works fine for everything else, but when I want to work with Excel or PowerPoint using WFC, I have to set up a backup PC which I keep with W 2010 on it.
Does anyone know the location of the language pack(s) of Office 2010?Jul 30, 2017I just came across this thread. Alarmed (thank you, Rachel, for having brought up this issue!), I looked for the location of my language packs, as shortly I plan to buy a new laptop but couldn't find it. By no means if ever possible would I go for a 365 licence for MS Office. So I need to backup my language packs in order to be still able to use my Office version, if I only knew where to find them. I run Windows 8.1.Every hint will be highly appreciated!
Many thanks in advance!

You will not be able to use WF Classic with MS Office 2016.

I like WFC, So in consequence I have a backup PC loaded with MS office 2010 specifically for working on Excel and PowerPoint files and WFC. I'd rather do that than sign up to some lockstep scheme rolled out by Microsoft.
