Default language of Central Admin page displayed in Japanse! help
I have Sharepoint 2010 installed with various additional language packs installed, one being Japanese.
In the central administration page, I click on site actions, site settings, language settings and the resulting page shows the default language, alternative language and overwrite translation options. All of the text on the page is written in English, other than the languages themselves.
and if I click on my username, then select display language I see:
Where should I change this to get it back into English?
Thanks

this worked but I dont know why the problem occured.
1. Look up the Locale ID for the language in this table. E.g. Japanese = 1041.
2. Use your favourite SQL Editor (e.g. SQL Server Management Studio) to open the ‘Webs’ table in the Content Database used by Central Administration.
3. You will most likely find only a single row in this table. If not then you will need to navigate to the correct row and update the ‘Language’ field to the correct locale, in your case 1033 (for US english).
That is it. There is no need to do any ‘IISRESETs’, just refresh whatever CA page you are on and it will automatically switch languages.
