Malleus Usarum 0 Posted June 5, 2019 Report post Posted June 5, 2019 Hi, we recently migrated from SCCM 2012 to the current branch. We are using an English system locale combined with a German user locale (to get a continental European date and time format) and everything looked fine (i.e. English), until we took a look at the Reporting Services and noticed that all reports are in German. Apparently it doesn't matter what your system or browser language is or where we are accessing the RS from, because the reports we get are always in German. So far we have found no way to change the language of the Reporting Services, and Google hasn't been too helpful either. Any help would be appreciated!

GarthMJ 125 Posted June 5, 2019 Report post Posted June 5, 2019 I believe that this is based on the SSRS server language, once that is changed you might need to re-install your reporting point. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Malleus Usarum 0 Posted June 6, 2019 Report post Posted June 6, 2019 Thanks for your reply. I checked the SSRS server language and it was already set to en-us. I reinstalled SSRS with a new database and all of the server's locale options set to English but SCCM still populates it with German reports when I install the reporting services point. 😕 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GarthMJ 125 Posted June 6, 2019 Report post Posted June 6, 2019 I'm guessing but so did you set the system account account to English too? Is the OS English or German? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Malleus Usarum 0 Posted June 6, 2019 Report post Posted June 6, 2019 I used en-US ISO's for all three components (OS, SQL, SCCM) and went with the standard settings for language. However, changing the regional settings seems to have affected the system account as well, as you have pointed out, so I'll try another re-install tomorrow afternoon when most users are gone for the weekend. I really miss the old times when installers just asked you which language you wanted to use instead of attempting arcane predictions based on system settings. The current solution leaves the impression of having been devised by people who never had to work in a multilingual environment. 🙄 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Malleus Usarum 0 Posted June 7, 2019 Report post Posted June 7, 2019 Turns out that I didn't have to perfom another re-install. Yesterday's attempt worked almost perfectly and the reports are now in English. I just didn't notice it then because parts of the SSRS interface are still German. It's not exactly what I had in mind, but the people doing the reporting all speak German and if the actual reports are English, we can live with the current state. I will take another look at this in the future when we have a reason to add or migrate servers. Thanks again @GarthMJ for pointing us in the right direction!
