Dynamics 365 language problem

In today’s trick we are going to see why it became little bit tricky to create Dynamics 365 online.

Background story to this is that I have before bought my Office 365 plans and subscriptions from Serbia, so my default language was pre-set to Serbian (Cyrillic or Latin) in Office 365 applications. I have always changed language settings to English since translations to Serbian were only partially and sometimes wrong. Below tip may help all other people who had same experience as myself.

We have all tried to create trial Dynamics 365 environment online, right? That is done at l ink where you choose which module you want to use, type in all data, choose your regions as US or Europe and boom, you have your instance. So, I thought.

After creating my Field Service instance, I got something like below.

Half English, half Serbian, partially translated, not so nice to use, even though I love Serbian Cyrillic.

After checking Personalized Settings and enabling English as an additional Language through Administration, I still had a partially translated environment. When I checked on what is happening, I figured out that my Base language is set to Serbian and cannot be changed. So, I thought, how is that possible, since all my Office 365 applications are set to English.

After some not so successful Googling, almost gave up, then I remembered that maybe I should use Edge or IE to create new Dynamics 365 instance. Voila, it worked, before creating Dynamics 365 instance, I could choose language.

A theory I picked up while googling is the following: for some strange reason, Chrome and Mozilla are storing some cache data/cookies somewhere and Microsoft websites are working strange with that, so above page is not displayed. When using Edge or IE there should not be any language problems.

I hope that someone will find this helpful.

Have a great time until next trick :)

Worked in various areas as a Dynamics 365 developer, where my clients were Banks, Telecom companies, Insurance companies and Government institutions, where I gained a knowledge from all those areas of business. After enough experience, I have decided I need more and moved to Austria to find new challenges. And I have found them while working in gaming industry.

The best thing about Dynamics world, for me, is that you have to have three views on everything, one as customer (of your services), one as user and one as engineer.
