If you are working in an international company you might have noticed that shared mailboxes in Office 365 have a tendency to switch language from time to time. π
If you need to set the language of a shared mailbox you can do it with PowerShell.
Run the PowerShell command, but replace the mail and language.
Set-MailboxRegionalConfiguration -Identity example@example.com -LocalizeDefaultFolderName:$true -Language en-US
That’s it!
Oh, you are speaking a different language? Perhaps ζ₯ζ¬θͺ or EspaΓ±ol?
I am not 100% sure about all the codes for different languages. Microsoft docs say it uses codes from the RFC 4646 specification, so here are some examples:
