dataverse for teams - change language?

(0) ShareShare

Dear community

 

Dataverse for Teams is finally available in the data centers of Switzerland! This is huge for me! I've been seeing all you guys create awesome solutions while we in Switzerland just couldn't use it yet :-(. Luckily, MS Switzerland catched up!

 

Anyway, I was playing around with it and realized one thing about the language:

Whenever I create a new table, dataverse automatically creates some columns - which is fine - but they're all with German names. I couldn't figure out where to change that.

This article explains the behaviour a bit, but it's not really accurate.

 

I have everything set up in English on my machine:

  • Browser
  • System Language
  • Teams client
  • M365 profile/account

...and I've been trying to create new teams/new apps/new environments from the browser as well as the teams client.

 

Does anyone know how I could force dataverse for teams to create my table columns in English? 

 

Thanks and have a great rest of the weekend!

    Hi @FabianAckeret,

    I don't think it's due to your personal Windows language settings. Not sure what exactly that is, but if Power Platform Admin Center, what region is the Dataverse for Teams environment provisioned too? Also, in Power Platform Admin Center, click on your profile (top right) then view account, select "Settings & Privacy" check you regional and language settings, maybe that might help?

    Hi @EricRegnier 

    Thanks for your response.

     

    • The Dataverse for Teams environment is provisioned to "Europe"
    • Regarding "Settings & Privacy" in the account --> this has already been set to English (see screenshot in my first post)

    I also tried to force the Language from Use browser language to English under Power Apps settings on https://make.powerapps.com without success.
