Change Default language for all users

Hi,

Is there any way to determine the default language for all users so whenever they login they automatically will see the system in this language?

The question is why. Why would you have multiple languages in the instance and then force someone to use one language? 

You could just set the language settings (on user/preference) language to the default language on creation of a user. That way you at least have them on that language at first login and if they decide to change it, it will stay in their preferred language.


Please mark any helpful or correct solutions as such. That helps others find their solutions.

Hi there,

 

By default, all users will have the System language. Only when users changed there language preference, that would not be the case.

 

Language preferences for users are stored in the User Preferences table [sys_user_preference].

For example:

 Hi @Alon Grod 

 

You can check the user preference table to know the language set by a user.
