Configure the Language Setting on a UM Auto Attendant
Applies to: Exchange Server 2010 SP3, Exchange Server 2010 SP2
You can configure the language setting on a Unified Messaging (UM) auto attendant. The language setting available on a UM auto attendant enables you to configure the default prompt language on the auto attendant. When you're using the default system prompts for the auto attendant, this is the language that the caller will hear when the auto attendant answers the incoming call. This language setting affects only the default system prompts that are provided after the Unified Messaging server role is installed. However, this setting doesn't affect custom prompts that are configured on an auto attendant. The languages that are available are based on the Unified Messaging language packs that are installed on the Unified Messaging server.
