Change language on SharePoint Foundation 2013 SP1

Question

Can you change the core language? I managed to download a Swedish version of SharePoint Foundation 2013 SP1 and install it.

Now I'm having problem with installing Forefront Identity Manager portal and service because it says the language is not supported.

I tried installing the English language pack, but it is still in Swedish.

Do I have to re-install everything?

Answer 1

Once it is created you cannot change it easily. You have to back up the content database and reattach it with the new LCID attached (1033 for english)

Here is an artical which explains how to do it. Good Luck!
