Set a Session Language

Applies to: SQL Server Azure SQL Database Azure SQL Managed Instance

The session language can be used to set how the following elements are displayed on the server, based on language and cultural preference:

  • The language that will be used for error and other system messages. SQL Server supports having multiple copies of all system error strings and messages in all the languages in which SQL Server is available. These messages can be viewed in the sys.messages catalog view. When you install a localized version of SQL Server, these system messages are translated for the language version that you install. By default, you also obtain the U.S. English set of these messages. Additionally, you can add user-defined messages in a specific language by using sp_addmessage.

  • The format of date and time data.

  • The names of days and months, including abbreviations.

  • The first day of the week.

  • Currency data.

There are 33 languages available for use as session settings. For a list of languages, see sys.syslanguages.
