Microsoft has just announced that Office 365 is now available in 17 new countries and 4 new languages, with other 18 markets currently being tested to see whether it’s worth introducing paid subscriptions or not.

The addition of Indonesian, Kazakh, Hindi, and Hebrew brings the number of supported languages to 40, while the new trial markets include Palestinian Territories, Congo (DRC), Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Botswana, Namibia, Curaçao, Faroe Islands, Monaco, St. Kitts and Nevis, Ethiopia, Uganda, Zambia, Afghanistan, and Tanzania.

Office 365 is playing a much more important role for Microsoft, especially because the company is trying to continue investments in cloud infrastructure.

At the same time, it’s also signing deals with large companies, organizations, and educational institutions across the world to adopt Office 365 and boost productivity and collaboration among employees.
