You can set the document language within the OfficeIntegration template itself. You can configure the DataSource to use the Setting configured within the template by adding the following node to your i18n:DataSource.

 <i18n:I18NConfiguration UseTemplateConfiguration="true" />

With this configuration the DataSource is set to use the LCID configured within the document language of the template. By using this property the same DataSource can be used for multiple templates (different languages).

order

The UseTemplateConfiguration will override any TranslationLCID configuration, but not any specific configuration (e.g.: a specific time configuration).

setting the LCID

You can change any of those settings by setting a value. For example if you want to change the Format and Translation LCID to German you can add the 1031 LCID: 

 <i18n:I18NConfiguration TranslationLCID="1031" TranslationLCID="1031" />

just an example

The example above is just an example how to set multiple properties. Setting the FormatLCID will set all properties to 1031, there is no need for an additional setting of the TranslationLCID as this is already included within the TranslationLCID.
