preferred language AD users

[rverve]

My WinCC OA 3.14 project uses three languages, uses windows users and SSO.

When I log in with a windows user for the first time in my WinCC OA project, the user is English in the User Administration of WinCC OA, while this user is Dutch.

From the login.pnl the following happens:
HOOK_readPreferredLanguage (sUser); // IM 114372 Auslesen der Sprache aus dem AD

Is it possible to provide a preferred language automatically from the AD or Group Policy, so that the language does not have to be adjusted manually in the User Administration of WinCC OA?

Where in the AD can I set the preferred language for each user?

If amd how a language for a user can be defined in the Active Directory please clarify with your system administration.
The code you have mentioned was implemented to allow project specific changes for the login functionality without the need to change the standard code.
If the function HOOK_readPreferredLanguage() is defined in your project it will be executed. The code for the function you have to implement on your own.

Thank you for the reply.

The hook works well and this is actually more of a windows question.
We just cannot find exactly which windows settings are applied by WinCC OA for the preferred language.
After logging in a windows client, windows has the correct preferred windows language but WinCC OA continues to see English as the preferred language.

We will continue to search for the right windows setting.
