MS Teams 2.x - How to force specific language for all users ?

In old Teams you could faff with the JSON file to force a specific language but I don't know if this works in the new version

Yes ai know - for 2.x ot seems to be completely new way.. 🫣 🤷🏻‍♂️

Make sure your image is configured for the correct target locale before installing Teams, and Teams will pick up the right locale

So it would have to be an image-level setting? Jesus wept

Could be the entry “language”:“de-DE” in the app_settings.json file located in %localappdata%\Packages\MSTeams_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\Microsoft\MSTeams\ You can use a powershell script or WEM JSON action to edit the file like this:

# Register MS Teams AppX Package for user

Add-AppPackage -Register -DisableDevelopmentMode "$ENV:TeamsVersionPath\AppXManifest.xml" -EA SilentlyContinue

# Define the json file location

$TeamsConfig = "$ENV:LocalAPPDATA\Packages\MSTeams_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\Microsoft\MSTeams\app_settings.json"

# Make a backup of the json file

Copy-Item -Path $TeamsConfig -Destination "$TeamsConfig.bak" -Force

# Read the content

$jsonContent = Get-Content -Path $TeamsConfig -Raw

# Replace the values

$jsonContent = $jsonContent -replace '"open_app_in_background":true', '"open_app_in_background":false'

$jsonContent = $jsonContent -replace '"keep_app_running_on_close":true', '"keep_app_running_on_close":false'

# Save the modified json file

Set-Content -Path $TeamsConfig -Value $jsonContent -Force
