Office 365 admin center language
Hi guys,
How do I change admin center homepage language?
I am getting Lithuanian admin center homepage (I'm from Lithuania) no matter what. I have tried to change profile settings to use English only in profile settings
But when I go back to the dashboard it keeps showing Lithuanian.
It starting really to annoy me and I can't figure out how to deal with this. Have you managed to change your dashboard language?
It uses the browser language settings. You can also change it via https://portal.office.com/account/#settings (though those settings might not be available in some cases).
- Bruno LopesBrass ContributorFor synced accounts, is necessary change the On-Premises attribute on AD named "preferredLanguage". Force the Delta sync with AADConnect and test again. See the reference: https://www.codetwo.com/admins-blog/how-to-change-language-in-office-365-portal-in-hybrid-environment/ Regards,

No it does not use browser settings VasilMichev.
I did just log-on using company's account -> all in English. Then I changed to administer one customers's tenant ( U know, security.microsoft.com and from right hand upper corner just change the tenant). It did change the language too -> and now it's terrible to use.

YES ! Thank you very much ... I had tried everything ... I don't know why I did'nt think of this solution.

OK, installed different browser and I get the English admin center!
I do not have an option to change langugage settings in https://portal.office.com/account/#settings so I guess I will use workaround to work with office 365.
Internet explorer and MS Edge seems to pickup region from computer settings and determines the language automatically, but still minus karma points for not allowing to change the language easily as in any webpage.
