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!
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
