SharePoint News Digest language settings
Hi, maybe someone can shed some light on this topic. Our customer was wondering what determines the default language of the automated news digest, in particular the default e-mail text and messag...
I am experiencing the same issue.
I have been testing a lot of different settings but i Can't find the relevant setting.
Here: https://tobii-my.sharepoint.com/_layouts/15/editprofile.aspx?UserSettingsProvider=dfb95e82-8132-404b-b693-25418fdac9b6
I have been editing my regional settings: Changing the available languages and the setting for "defined by site administrator" vs "personal".
Still the Sharepoint news posts come in Swedish every time.
I cannot change the language here (https://myaccount.microsoft.com/settingsandprivacy/language) as it is centrally managed, and hard-coded to English.
Not sure where else to check but something is forcing the news mails to Swedish.

- Hi Lilly,
Yes and no 🙂
As described in my comment: the language of a news post is defined by the region settings of the SITE (not the user......).
so, for your use-case: No, I don't have a solution. all users would get news in the same language.
You might consider publishing the page in multiple translated languages (https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/microsoft-sharepoint-blog/new-sharepoint-feature-multilingual-publishing-for-pages-and/ba-p/1432445) but that is not what this post is about- completely different topic.
