How do you change your complete tenant, sites, templates to English Language?
HELP ! We are a small business running our sharepoint now 5 years in a default language set in "German" - now getting more international we want to transform everything into English .... POW ! ...
Johannes Kirchner The explanation is that your entire Office 365 tenant is hosted on a locale or language specific server - and this can never, ever be changed, according to Microsoft Support. We have the same issues - our tenant was created in Sweden (hence in Swedish) and now when we roll-out 365 to our global organization, users get Sharepoint notifications in Swedish. People are not happy.
There are at least two main uservoice requests that need votes:
