Administrators, do not have to do much to implement this feature. Apart from the ability to change the tenant default language (see above) the only other option is to turn the Voicemail Transcript off for your entire organization or for individual users.

Let your users and helpdesk know

Make sure users are familiar on how to use it, and that your helpdesk can assist users if they need assistance. Also, don’t forget to update any related training material.
