Office Portal - Login displayed in spanish
If your users are homed in Office 365 and not directory synced, it looks like you can change their preferred language using the MSOL or Azure AD powershell commands.
Example using MSOL
set-MsolUser -UserPrincipalName userID@company.com -PreferredLanguage en-us
Example using Azure ADGet their object ID and copy
Get-AzureADUser -SearchString userID@company.com | fl *object*
Then make the setting change
set-AzureADUser -ObjectId "paste your objectID here" -PreferredLanguage en-us
The setting took just a few minutes to change the UI to the language when I changed it. I closed and reopened my browser when I checked for the settings change.I unfortunately can't say for sure whether this changes the login though, because my company has a stock login page that is in English. I suspect it should, but can't confirm.
If they are directory synced maybe you can make this change in local AD, perhaps someone else has come across how to deal with that.Hope this helps!

I'll definitely give this a try.
Thanks Brian!
