As we’ve noted before, not all languages have all Office features. Microsoft has a table setting out what is available for each language.
The full set of Office features is only available for English, French, German, Italian and Spanish.

It would be worth checking the details before purchasing a language pack because there’s quite a bit of variation and exceptions. Sadly the online product descriptions are fairly useless. Microsoft uses the same boilerplate text to describe each language pack (in English only) with only the last word changed to match the language.
It’s not clear which language variations are included in each language pack. For example the Spanish language pack presumably includes the variations for Spain, Mexico, USA, Argentina, Chile etc but there’s nothing in the product description to tell you.
It would be nice if someone at Microsoft could spare the time to ensure that the product descriptions for each language pack are accurate and relevant to that language. A short description in that language would also seem appropriate, in addition to English.
Only Office 2010 language packs are now available. Office 2007 language packs were withdraw from sale, for no good reason, in mid-2011.
