Date and Language Settings in Teams
Is there a way to set all users language and Date format to UK in teams admin portal?

Hi moses2023,
No, teams admin portal does not provide the ability to set the language and date format for individual users or the entire organization.
Each user has the flexibility to choose their preferred language and date format within their own Teams client settings. They can go to their profile picture or initials in the top right corner of the Teams app, select "Settings," and then navigate to the "General" section to make these adjustments.

Leon PavesicThe teams does not use windows date, Time and the language. I could not find anything to manage one user or whole organization's settings to set default language and time zone.

LeonPavesic Also by default Teams will follow Windows settings, so normally set windows as required and Teams will follow but users can opt to set a personal different setting
I use Teams in a browser and the language settings won't stay. I change them to Swedish, Teams requires a new start, I start it again in the browser and get the right language. Next day or week the language is set to English again. I don't recognise it immediately, because not everything is in Swedish. When I do have the Swedishlanguage on, I still see some things in English, like "Class Notebook", which should be "Anteckningsbok för klassen".
And don't suggest I should use the desktop app instead of the browser. The desktop app can't have several teams opened at the same time.
And don't suggest I should set my Windows or my browser to have a particular language setting! I need Teams to have one language setting. I need Windows to have another language setting. I need the browser to have a third language setting. I live a multilingual life! I'm the one who decides what language I want. I may use whatever language wherever. But when I log in to Teams, I expect Teams to remember what language I prefer in Teams. I don't expect Teams to use same language as my browser! If you disagree, read again the last chapter but slower.
