Detailed Description
Although Microsoft Communications Server is available in multiple languages, the software is not a true MUI (multilingual user interface) application. Among other things, this means that the user interface for the Communications Server Management Shell does not change languages any time you change the operating system language. For example, suppose you have installed the US English version of Microsoft Communications Server and are also running the Windows operating system under US English. If you change the operating system culture (that is, the language and regional settings) to Danish, the Communications Server Management Shell will not automatically follow suit; instead, the Management Shell user interface (including error messages and help text) will remain in US English. If you need to change the culture for the Management Shell, you must run the Set-CsUICulture cmdlet.
Two things to keep in mind when using Set-CsUICulture. First, the cmdlet can only be used to modify Management Shell settings on the local computer; Set-CsUICulture cannot change a remote instance of Communications Server Management Shell. This is due to the fact that all the users of a computer share the same instance of the Management Shell. That means that allowing a remote user to change the culture would instantly change the culture for any other users of the Management Shell, including the local user. Second, you cannot change the culture unless you have downloaded and installed the appropriate language packs. If you install the US English version of Microsoft Communications Server then US English will be the only version (and the only culture) available to you unless you downloaded and install additional language packs.
Return Types
Set-CsUICulture does not return any values or objects. Instead, the cmdlet modifies existing instances of the System.Globalization.CultureInfo class.

-------------------------- Example 2 ------------------------
| Copy Code |

The preceding command sets the culture for the Communications Server Management Shell to the default culture value. The default value is simply the culture setting used by the Windows operating system.
