Dear Microsoft

This looks as a useful feature, much appreciated. After doing some testing today I see that the statuses in the Sign-off status column shows in another language than is used in my Office365 group.

Where is it decided to show the statuses in Norwegian instead of English? Is there a way I can fix this?

We are an international company based in Norway. When our tenant was created this was recognized and we have been struggling with Norwegian language bleeding through, although our company language is English.

Looking forward to hear from you

Hi Per_Kristian_Hagen, we use the site language for this to make sure that it is consistent for all users of the site. I suspect your site was created with Norwegian as the default language, and that's probably why you are seeing this. Site language is set when the site is being created, and unfortunately I don't think there is a way to change it afterwards.

Another half-baked, buggy, undocumented, nuisance from the SharePoint team.

You guys are out of control.
