Hi All,
Recently I had problem with SharePoint site. The problem was that the site was created in “English” and I want to change the language from ‘English’ to ‘Dutch’. Once site Collection has been created with any language, I was not able to change the language with existing site collection.
After doing some research I found solution.
Resolution:
The language of the site is stored at SP Web level. It is stored in database in Webs table. So you need to change the language in database whatever language you want. To change the language in database you need to fire following Query:
For changing the language of all sites in to ‘Dutch’ language:
UPDATE dbo.Webs SET Language = 1043
Changing the language of one site collection: (Dutch language)
UPDATE dbo.Webs SET Language = 1043 WHERE SiteId = [[SiteCollectionId]]
Changing the language of a single web or subsite: (Dutch language)
UPDATE dbo.Webs SET Language = 1043 WHERE Id = [[WebId]]
Note:
Before applying the new language, you need to verify that the language pack for the language that you want to apply is installed on your machine or not. If language pack is not installed then follows the below steps:
1. Go to link: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=2447426b-8689-4768-bff0-cbb511599a45&displaylang=en
2. Change the language for what you want to install the pack. Click on Download.
3. SharePoint Products and Technologies Configuration Wizard will open after installing language pack. On the completing the SharePoint Products and Technologies Configuration Wizard, click Next.
4. On the Configuration Successful page, click Finish.
5. The new language’s folder is available at ‘C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\12\template’. (I.e. for English it would be ‘1033’, for Dutch it would be ‘1043’).
After installing language pack, you can apply different language with SharePoint site.
Hopefully it will helpful to you.
