Microsoft 365


Instruction: M365 Language and Time Zone Settings

Language Settings

The language needs to be set on several levels – some applications have their own language settings:

  1. INET settings – a basic change of preferred language for various Microsoft 365 applications,
  2. Outlook Web App – the change of Outlook online, the language of mail folders settings,
  3. Teams,
  4. OneDrive,
  5. SharePoint/Microsoft 365 groups,
  6. Viva Engage (formerly Yammer).

INET

1
The main language and time zone settings can be done in INET.

Outlook Web App Interface and Mailbox Names Settings

1
Click on the link and select the language and time zone.

The change of the default folders names:
If you leave the Přejmenovat výchozí složky, aby jejich názvy odpovídaly určenému jazyku checked, then in addition to the Outlook interface language, the basic folders (Inbox, Sent Mail, etc.) will be renamed on the website. This change will be reflected not only on the web but also in email clients. In the case of MS Outlook, this is not a problem, but for some clients, it may lead to duplication of some folders or storage of some messages (e.g., sent or deleted mail) in other folders. If you use clients other than Outlook, we recommend making this change only when you start using Microsoft 365.

Teams

1
MS Teams has a default language setting based on your operating system. If you want to change the language, click on the three dots icon next to your photo/initials in the upper right corner and then click on Settings (Nastavení).

2
On the General (Obecné) tab in the Language (Jazyky) section, select Choose Teams app Language (Zvolit jazyk aplikace Teams) and select the desired language from the menu. After that, click Save and restart (Uložit a restartovat).
