Re: SBS in Italian?

I ran this by a couple of the international MVPs. Apparently Outlook and
OWA will use the language of the workstation, not the server, but RWW would
be in English. There may be issues with the English server wanting to push
out English service packs, etc. to the client PCs, which can be overcome by
using WSUS.

If they prefer Italian, and you're OK supporting Italian, that's probably
the way to go, as Cris says. I'm sure you can buy the localized software in
the US if you're setting up the server here, then shipping it.

Thanks for that explanation - it makes more sense now.

One of my concerns about using a US English version of SBS for my server
in
Italy, with or without the Language Pack, is the default names created,
for
example, in Exchange Folders, such as "inbox", "sent items", etc.

My users in Italy will probably want to see that information in Italian. I
asssume that Outlook, OWA, RWW and the rest will create folders and other
UI
items in the localized (native) language of the OS, even with a Language
Pack
installed. So, I assume it's best to purchase the localized version of SBS
from a vendor in Italy.

Let me know if you know otherwise, and thanks again.

Here's my understanding about this, and I could be wrong. If you want
the
most reliable information, I recommend calling Microsoft directly to
address
this rather than going through a Dell sales rep who has likely never sold
a
server out of the US and Canada.

I have an English-language XP desktop with a Mandarin Chinese language
pack
installed. The user sees the same thing you see - all English - except
that
he has the Chinese character set, dictionary, etc. available on this PC.
This lets him, for example, select Chinese from the Office Language Bar
and
compose a document in Chinese. But he sees all English menus, Help,
pop-up
dialog boxes, error messages, etc. - the whole OS is in English.

Unlike with the language pack, a localized Chinese version of XP would
have
all Chinese menus, Help, etc. - the actual OS would be in Chinese.

So if you want an Italian-language OS, you need to buy the localized
Italian
edition of SBS, not English SBS with an Italian language pack. A lot of
people in non-English speaking countries prefer the English server OSs,
presumably thinking it's easier to get support. Others need the OS in
their
local language. I recommend getting the hardware from Dell, and get the
software from Open License - whether it's English or Italian.

Greetings.

I need to set up an SBS server for use in Italy.

Normally, I purchase my SBS licenses when I buy my servers from Dell.

Dell said that the SBS CDs include a "language pack" or something like
that
that will enable me to switch the language of the OS from English to,
in
this
case, Italian. However, I have also heard that any MS product that is
in a
specific language must be purchased and licensed in the region
associated
with that language.

So...I need to know:

Can I easily switch the "language" of the SBS software from English to
Italian, at installation time, or do I need to make arrangements to
purchase
an Italian version of SBS through a reseller in Italy?

And, is there any truth to what Dell said about the "Language Pack"
included
on their distribution CDs?

I'm cool with whatever the results are. I just need to know how to
proceed.

Grazie & Go Azurri!!!!
