RE: Outlook Web Access in mixed language

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance



Hello,

Thanks for posting in our newsgroup.

From your description, I know that when one user connects OWA, the IE
browser is displayed half in German and half in English. If that's not
correct, please don't hesitate to let me know.

When User access a mailbox through OWA, the language of the OWA interface
(such as the forms and tooltips) is determined by a special HTTP header
that is sent to the server by the client browser. The client browser
indicates to the server in which language to display the user interface and
the server will return the user interface in that language if the server
supports that language.

The language of the default set of folder is determined by the language of
the first client to access the mailbox. When a new mailbox is created, if
you use the German version of Outlook, or Internet Explorer with a German
Accept-Language to access the mailbox, the names of the Inbox, Calendar,
Contacts and other default folders are localized into German.

To resolved this:

1.Open control panel, expand "Regional and langusge options","Regional
Option" ,select "German" or whatever you want to use as language of OWA
Interface.

2.Use Outlook XP or Outlook 2003 to connect to Exchange server, run outlook
at command line:
outlook /resetfoldernames. This action will affect outlook and OWA
interface.

3. Please check if the problem is resolved. If Step 2 doesn't work, do the
following:

1) Logon a German Outlook 2003.
2) Create a new profile for the problem user.
3) Quit Outlook.
4) Run the command outlook /resetfoldernames.
5) Logon OWA and check again.

Hope this helps.

If you need further assistance, please don't hesitate to let me know.
