If the appropriate object libraries are installed on your disk and registered with Visual Basic, you can choose to write your Visual Basic module code in a language other than English. You can also specify a corresponding country, thus specifying how you type dates and times and what symbols you use for the list separator, the decimal separator, and so on. The language/country combination sets the locale of your Visual Basic environment — the language in your module code can be different from the language of the Microsoft Excel application. The object library registered when you select a language translates your module code into statements that Microsoft Excel understands.
To choose a language in which to write or edit Visual Basic code
1. On the Tools menu, click Options, and then click the Module General tab.
2. In the Language/Country box, click the language and country you want to use.
If the locale setting you want isn't listed in the Language/Country box, you must install the appropriate object libraries, as explained in "Installing and Registering Object Libraries" later in this appendix.
