Hello, I installed sql server 2022 and ssms in English on my machine. how to change the language to French of my sql server 2022 and my ssms. Best Regards
The language of installed SQL Server engine doesn't matter that much. The default language for system message is assigned to the user login, see CREATE LOGIN (Transact-SQL) => DEFAULT_LANGUAGE SSMS is only available in English
so i can't have my SSMS interface in french?
Somehow I missed, under https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/ssms/release-notes-ssms?view=sql-server-ver16#current-ssms-release you can find SSMS also in other languages incl. French
If I want to know if the sql is actived, How can I see?

What do you mean with this question? Is there any relation to the question on language?
If you are talking about activation like you do for Windows, there is no such process or requirement for SQL Server.
Hi @YETIANRI EMMANUEL OUSMANE SORI,
If I want to know if the sql is actived, How can I see?
Do you mean that you want to see if sql server is started?
You may try with the command.
sc query MSSQLSERVER
