Hi Ed,

In addition to what Garfield is saying, I'd like to add that the Office
Language Packs include both the proofing tools and the UI/Help, etc and, when
you install it, you can decide to only install the proofing tools if you want
to keep your English UI. I think that's exactly what you are looking for.

More info here:

I hope it helps,
