    Hi guys,

     

    I got another "funny" trick about the language settings specific to OneDrive and Office applications Online (Word, Excel, Powerpoint…) which seems to be independent from the language of Outlook Web App and office portal.  We had this issue, were able to change the seetings for the portal and OWA, in hybrid and cloud mode, no problem.  BUT, unable to fix this for OneDrive, Word online, Excel online, etc.

     

    After searching for few hours, I got a flash:

     

    Solution:

    - Open OneDrive for Business

    - Click ont the gear in the upper-right corner (settings menu...)

    - Click on "Site setting" (yeah.... like sharepoint...)

    - Click on "Language settings" in the "Site Administration" section...

    - Select the Alternate Language you want, and click OK.

     

    OneDrive and Office Online applications will now be in your favorite language.
