So I made a Microsoft 365 Apps app within Intune which installs Excel, Outlook, PowerPoint, Skype for Business and Word on Win10.

I notice the following: despite the fact that I selected Office to be installed with only 1 language (default language of operating system) I see the following components in the installed software section of Windows. Office is opening in the right language (operating system language nl-nl), but I'm wondering why this is happening. I don't want any issues afterwards!

    @Chned , From the information you provided, I find the "Language ID" is"MatchOS" in configuration file, In the language setting on Windows, I find only one language is there.

    To narrow down our issue, I suggest to do two tests:
    Test 1:
    Add Nederlands language into Intune policy and deploy to see if it will make the Microsoft 365 installed with only one language.

    Test 2:
    On device side, use the configuration file we get on the affected machine and try to deploy Microsoft 365 via ODT with this configuration file to see how many language packs will be installed for Microsoft 365 app. Here is a link for the reference:

    If there's any update, feel free to let us know.

    Test 1:
    I tried this to no avail.
    Wether the cfgxxx.tmp-file contains <Language ID="MatchOS" /> or <Language ID="nl-nl" /><Language ID="MatchOS" /> it doesn't make any difference.

    Test 2.
    I used the ODT with the following .XML file, but also then I see 2 entries in the installed software section:
