From typing "Languages" in excel help:

Change the default language setting
You can change your default settings in Microsoft Office to have them
match the default settings of a different language.

In Microsoft Windows XP, on the Windows Start menu, point to All
Programs, point to Microsoft Office, point to Microsoft Office Tools,
and then click Microsoft Office 2003 Language Settings.

In Windows 2000, on the Windows Start menu, point to Programs, point to
Microsoft Office, point to Microsoft Office Tools, and then click
Microsoft Office 2003 Language Settings

Click the Enabled Languages tab.
In the Choose the language that defines default behavior in Microsoft
Office applications box, select the language you want, and then click
OK.

A message appears describing the effects of the change. To continue,
click Continue and lose customizations.

Is this what your looking for...
