For example both support Welsh, and in both cases they happen to use the language code вЂњcy-UKвЂќ, even though the language code вЂњcyвЂќ would have been perfectly standards compliant. ItвЂ™s a bit hit or miss, for some languages both products use the same language code, and for some they donвЂ™t.

They donвЂ™t match, and there is no way to make them match. MS Forms supports one version of German, apparently with language code вЂњdeвЂќ, while SharePoint supports one version of German, with language code вЂњde-DEвЂќ. There is no way to match вЂњfr-CAвЂќ in MS forms. So for instance the language code for French in SharePoint is вЂњfr-FRвЂќ. Bad news! The forms language code must exactly match the SharePoint language code. Good news! It does not need to match exactly, вЂњfrвЂќ or even вЂњfr-CAвЂќ browser setting will match вЂњfr-FRвЂќ if that is the MS Forms language. In what language will the form display? If your user profile does not have a language preference set, then it will follow the browser settings, otherwise it will follow the user profile settings, the same thing as what SharePointвЂ™s user interface does. In SharePoint modern pages, you can add a Microsoft Forms webpart to the page. If you set your language preference in your Office 365 user profile, it always ignores that. It will then ignore the userвЂ™s browser configuration and show the form UI and content in German. You can override the userвЂ™s language preference by adding the вЂњlangвЂќ parameter with a language code to the URL, for example adding вЂњ&lang=deвЂќ for German.

If the form language is вЂњDeutschвЂќ, which means language code вЂњdeвЂќ, and your browser is вЂњDeutsch (Deutschland)вЂќ (de-DE), it WILL NOT MATCH and the form will be in English, or in whatever is the Primary language of the form.

If the form language is вЂњfranГ§ais (France)вЂќ, which means language code вЂњfr-FRвЂќ, and your browser is вЂњfranГ§ais (Canada)вЂќ (fr-CA) or even вЂњfranГ§aisвЂќ (fr), it WILL NOT MATCH and the form will be in English. If your browserвЂ™s language preference, or one of the list of preferences, matches one of the languages of the form then the formвЂ™s user interface and content will be in the selected language. LetвЂ™s try the form in different languages now.
