Create O365 tenant with country "Germany" but English is default language?

Hi there,

 

i just had the MOC course for O365 and tried out the labs. 

My company is mainly situated in Germany but the company language is english.

 

So i chose "Germany" for country in the registration process and then switched to "English" for the Admin Center. But when i logged on with another user i had to do this again.

Is it possible to set "Germany" as a country but change the "default language" of the tenant to english?

 

 

Best regards

Stephan

    Most of the O365 applications have per-user language settings, so each user can configure them as desired. The browser language settings are also taken into consideration.

     

    For some however, it wil be inherited from the initial tenant provisioning location. Another thing to have in mind is that for synced users, the AD settings might override the language (check for example here: http://www.lieben.nu/liebensraum/2015/03/change-office-365-portal-language-for-synced-users/).

      Thanks Vasil.

       

      Is it possible to force users to use a specific language or do i have to use a "task scheduler powershell" that will set the preferred language to en-us all the time? ;)
