Notice the URL on your Microsoft Lists site? Yep, you got it – it’s a SharePoint site! In the screenshot below, my organization has set the language to be “English (United States)” – but Microsoft Lists wasn’t shown in the language! Check or change the language in the “Display language” box.This is definitely worth trying out as your first option! First, click the gear/cog icon to open your settings pane, and select “Change the language” under “Language and Time Zone settings” (or whatever these are in your language!) How to change the language for your Microsoft Lists web application?
Even if you have selected a supported language as your preferred language in all of the right places – your profile, your browser, your device – SharePoint won’t offer it to you unless the language has been explicitly enabled.īelow, I’ll show you how to configure the language for both your account and your SharePoint/MySite/OneDrive site! Solution
I suppose a few years ago, we would’ve called it a MySite – nowadays, it conveniently hosts your OneDrive resources, such as your personal Microsoft Lists web application!Īnd SharePoint has an additional way to configure languages. The site hosting your Microsoft Lists instance is in fact a SharePoint site. Instead of “Next” or an enthusiastic “Get started!”, you get “Mitä voit tehdä asialle”, which translates to “ What can you do about the thing“.īah, I want to get rid of these weird translations and consume my Microsoft Lists the way it was meant to be used – in English. Not a nice experience, if you were expecting the language of the free in the accent of the brave. “Welcome to Microsoft Lists! No, we won’t honor your display language! Rather, we’ll machine translate into clumsy Moonspeak!”
