Microsoft Graph REST API Developer – Getting list of locales, languages supported for the user mailbox

Using Microsoft Graph REST API, you can get the list of locales and languages that are supported for the user, as configured on the user’s mailbox server. You need to use OutlookUser resource type, which represents the Outlook services available to a given user.

Request:
https://graph.microsoft.com/beta/me/outlook/supportedLanguages

RequestHeader: Authorization, Bearer/Token is required

Response:
If successful, this method returns 200, OK response code and a collection of localeInfo objects in the response body.

So, I see the following response for a given user:

Customizing OWA 2007 language settings

With the continuation of the previous blogpost, today we’re going to see how we can use Microsoft Office Outlook Web Access or the Exchange Management Shell to configure language settings for Outlook Web Access in Microsoft Exchange Server 2007. Microsoft have provided various options to customize the OWA pages, contents/images/themes in a simpler way. As a part of that, we cam make sure that we can do the language setting for OWA, which determines the language of the Outlook Web Access logon page and error messages, and can be changed by the user at any time.

There are three language settings that you can configure for Outlook Web Access.

1. The logon and error language setting applies to individual Outlook Web Access virtual directories. The logon and error language is the language that will be used for errors and the forms-based authentication logon page. If a value is not set for this language, the default value is 0. This means that the default logon and error language is not defined. Note: If the logon and error language is not defined, Outlook Web Access will default first to the language set on Internet Explorer on the client computer. If the language set on Internet Explorer on the client computer is not supported by Outlook Web Access, Outlook Web Access will use the language of the Client Access server.
2. The default client language setting applies to individual Outlook Web Access virtual directories. The default client language is the client language that is used by Outlook Web Access unless the user uses Regional Settings in Outlook Web Access to change the language and time zone. The default value for this setting is 0. This means the default client language is not defined. If the default client language is not defined, users will be prompted to choose a language and time zone the first time that they log on to Outlook Web Access. If the default client language value is defined, users will not be prompted to choose a language and the Outlook Web Access time zone will use the time zone of the Client Access server. Note: Defining the default client language causes the default folders to be renamed based on the specified language. Users can change the client language and time zone by using Regional Settings in Outlook Web Access, and can rename the default folders after they log on.
3. The client languages are set on individual mailboxes and affect the language that is used in Outlook and Outlook Web Access. If multiple languages are configured, the first language in the list that is supported by the Web browser will be used. Note: If none of the languages in the default languages list is supported by the Web browser, the Client Access server language will be used.

Note:

• In order to modify the various attributes in OWA Virtual directory, you need to use Set-OwaVirtualDirectory cmdlet to modify the properties of Outlook Web Access virtual directories on a computer that is running Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 that has the Client Access server role installed.
• In order to modify the settings of an existing mailbox we need to use the Set-Mailbox cmdlet. You can use this cmdlet for one mailbox at a time.

Office 2007 Language Interface Packs and spell-checkers for Armenian, Georgian, Telugu, Konkani, Punjabi, Kannada, and Oriya

In a recent post, the Language Log was discussing localization of software in under-resourced languages like Yoruba. Mark Liberman noted that, via its « Unlimited Potential Program », Microsoft had probably done more for linguistic diversity than any other software publisher (and perhaps more than the free software community) by providing localized versions of its software in dozens of languages. Meanwhile, the Microsoft Local Language Program has now made available a whole series of new Language Interface Packs for Office 2007. These LIPs enable users to work with user interfaces in their own languages while benefiting from spell-checkers (some of these languages had no speller in earlier versions of Office). They can be downloaded freely from the links you will access if you click on the names of the languages below (five of these languages are spoken in India):

· Armenian (or հայերեն լեզու, if you want to write it in Armenian ; 7 million speakers, including 3 million in Armenia)

· Georgian (4.1 million native speakers; the official language of the Republic of Georgia; anecdotally, consonant clusters are common in Georgian: some words contain up to 8 consecutive consonants, like გვბრდღვნი (gvbrdgvni), you tear us; nouns have 8 cases and verbal morphology is very complex)

· Telugu (or తెలుగు ; one of the four classical languages in India and one of the 22 official languages in this country ; it is the official language of the state of Andhra Pradesh and is also spoken in Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Orissa, and Pondicherry)

· Konkani (or कोंकणी; 7,6 million speakers ; one of the official languages of the Republic of India, mainly spoken in the Indian state of Goa; the LIP includes a brand-new speller)

· Kannada (or ಕನ್ನಡ; it is one of the major Dravidian languages of India and the official and administrative language in the Indian state of Karnataka, in the South of India; about 35 million speakers)

· Punjabi (or ਪੰਜਾਬੀ ; Indo-Aryan language spoken in the Punjab region, which is now split between India and Pakistan ; it has 90 million native speakers, which makes it the 11th most widely spoken language in the world).

· Oriya (or ଓଡ଼ିଆ; one of the official languages of India, mainly spoken in the Indian state of Orissa; about 30 million native speakers; the LIP includes a brand-new spell-checker for that language)
