Change of notification language
- Feb 03, 2025
Just wanted to give a quick follow up on this. Sorry for the delay, but I am still waiting for feedback from the affected user.
I finally was able to change the locale of the private channel's SP page. I wasn't able in the beginning, because I was only member of the channel (not owner) and therefore couldn't see any language settings. However, I now changed the local to English and hope that this solves the issue.
As I said, I'm still waiting for feedback and will let you know.
Thanks!
It sounds like the solution, and if Microsoft had programmed the "Automate" notifications correctly that might have worked. But it didn't and the site regional settings is the only way to change it.
The regional settings of a subsite are not necessarily the same as top-level site. You would have had to change it in the Teams site before creating the channel. It's a private Teams channel. That complicates things. Those sites are created crippled and are harder to change. I once wrote this post
https://blog.icefire.ca/blogs/post/trick-to-uncripple-teams-private-channel-sites
That might work, it works for some of the crippled aspects, I'm not sure. I tried it in an uncrippled private channel site and I can see the regional settings.
You can also add "_layouts/15/regionalsetng.aspx" to the site URL and go to the site regional settings directly

I can finally confirm that switching the locale of the SharePoint page solved the problem. Thank you for your valuable help! 🙂
