SUMMARY
Localized settings are browser-specific and not user-specific if you use Exchange 2000 Web Client.



MORE INFORMATION
The Microsoft Outlook Web Access (OWA) user interface (UI) depends on the Accept-Language header that is sent by the browser. Exchange 2000 contains codepages that have localized UIs for French, English, Japanese, German, Chinese (Traditional), Chinese (Simplified), Korean, Italian and Spanish.

To confirm the language that Microsoft Internet Explorer is using:
 * 1) Start Internet Explorer, type the address of the OWA logon page, for example, type http://www.company.com/exchange.
 * 2) Review the value in the Accept-Language field in the HTTP Get request.

The value of this field reflects the language preferences that you set in Internet Explorer.

To set language preferences in Internet Explorer:
 * 1) Click Internet Options on the Tools menu, and then click Languages.
 * 2) Click Add to add another language.

For example, to add French, click French (France) [fr]; this language is represented by the [fr] language code.
 * 1) To change the priority of the languages, click the language that you want to move, and then click either Move Up or Move Down.

Folder names are localized when they are created. If you log on to Exchange 2000 Web Client the first time by using an English version of Internet Explorer, the default folders are created in English. Each time you log on to OWA, the default folders are displayed in English even if you access OWA by using a browser that is set to another language.

For more information about the Accept-Language header file and the currently defined language codes, refer to the following Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) Web site:

RFC 1766: Tags for the Identification of Languages
