Simplified chinese is not supported in Excel Copilot WEB version?

As title, simplified Chinese should be supported in Excel WEB version. But after testing, Copilot will fail to generate if using simplified Chinese in prompt.

    Hi EvelynTang,

    you're right.

    While Copilot for Microsoft 365 generally accommodates prompts in Simplified Chinese, the current limitation lies in the fact that Copilot in Excel is exclusively available in English.

    Microsoft is planning to add more languages to Copilot for Microsoft 365.

Hi EvelynTang,

thanks for the update.

Regarding your question, the official Microsoft Copilot documentation says that Copilot in Excel is currently only supported in English (there is no official documentation about Excel WEB version - or I cannot find it).

Can you share a link with the table from your first post?
