Setting the Default Language for a Domain

A domain's default language applies automatically to any mailbox created within that domain, unless you set a different language for a specific mailbox. You can change a domain's default language from the Reseller Control Panel or from the Mail Administration Console (MAC).

About the default language

The default language controls the language of the Webmail interface for new users in the domain. It does not change the language of mailboxes that already exist, and it does not affect the MAC interface itself.

Step 1: Open the domain in the Control Panel

Find the domain you want to update in the Email section of the Reseller Control Panel.

1. In the Email section of the Control Panel, click the Email Domains tab.
2. In the Quick filter box, enter all or part of the domain name, and then click Search.
3. Click the domain you want to edit, and then click the Settings tab.

Step 2: Choose the default language

Set the language in the defaults section and save your change.

1. In the Defaults For New Users section, click Edit.
2. From the Language drop-down list, choose the language to apply to new users in the domain.
3. Click Save.

Setting the default language in the MAC

You can also set the default language directly in the MAC.

1. Log in to the Mail Administration Console (MAC). For more information, see the Mail Administration Console (MAC) guide.
2. Navigate to the domain you want to modify. See Searching in the MAC.
3. In the Defaults For New Users section, choose the default language from the Language drop-down list.
4. Click Update.
