To make a language available in the list of available Unified Messaging languages on the Settings tab of a UM dial plan, you must first install the appropriate UM language pack. You install the language pack on a Unified Messaging server by using the language-specific self-extracting executable file or the setup.com /AddUmLanguagePack command. Before you can install a UM language pack, you must first download it to a local folder on the UM server. You can download UM language packs from Exchange Server 2010 SP2 UM Language Packs.

After you install the appropriate UM language pack, you can view the list of installed UM language packs by viewing the properties on the UM Settings tab of a Unified Messaging server. You can also configure the default language to be a language other than English (en-US) on UM dial plans and auto attendants.

Caution:
The UM language packs for Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 or Exchange 2007 Service Pack 1 (SP1), SP2, or SP3 can't be used on an Exchange 2010 Unified Messaging server. The UM language packs for Exchange Server 2010 RTM or SP1 can’t be installed on a UM server running Exchange 2010 SP2.
