Selected Group Language not honored by created Sharepoint site
Dear Community, Whenever I create a group, the created SharePoint site has a different default language. I always select english, but the created site has a default set as german. Interesting...
- Update:
After a long call with Microsoft support I was told this.
- The SharePoint default language is determined by the tenant language
- Your cannot pick the tenant language during setup. It is derived from your browser location
- If you create an office 365 group, the language of the SharePoint site will be the tenant language, independent of the Group Language you select.
I tried to reason, that this is a bug, especially since the outcome is bi-lingual SharePoint site and the ticket must not be closed. My request was refused and it was declared "works as designed"
Just so you know!
Out of curiosity, do you use the browser to create Groups? If yes, what is the language of the browser?
Yes I create groups via the admin portal.
The browser as well as the entire system language is english.
In my case, I have seen this, but with Spanish language cfiessinger FYI
