Changing default langauge

  • Our SQL Server 2005 64 bit servers are all running with the langage English (United States). When I tried to change it using the scripts below, it returned successful but is still running as English (United States).

    EXEC sp_configure 'default language', 23

    RECONFIGURE

    SELECT @@language, @@langid

    How can I change it and how can I stop it installing as English (United States)?

  • Hi,

    I think its possible only through registry change and to be considered very carefully.

    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Tools\ClientSetup\CurrentVersion]

    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Tools\Setup

    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.1\Setup]

    In these 3 keys there are language settings. It's DWORD so when you edit the key, it needs to be changed to Decimal and put your language code in. (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms190303.aspx)

    Once done, either restart the SQL services or restart the server (if possible).
