Change the language of fields in Microsoft Word?

Question

I am using Word 2010 and some built-in features with fields, such as bibliography. My Word installation is English and I am writing a report in US English. However, my computer has its locale set to Denmark. This affects the formatting of dates and some of the text in the auto-generated fields (e.g. in bibliography it says "citeret:" instead of "cited:").How can I change the language of the fields to US English? Thanks.

Answer 1

The language and locale settings of your computer spill over to your applications. Update your system language and locale settings to American English and the problem will disappear.
