Install a UM language pack in Exchange Server

  • Article

Applies to: Exchange Server 2013, Exchange Server 2016

To make a language available in the list of available Unified Messaging languages on a UM dial plan or UM auto attendant, you must first install the appropriate UM language pack. You install the language pack on a Mailbox server running the Microsoft Exchange Unified Messaging service by using the language-specific self-extracting executable file or the setup.exe /AddUmLanguagePack command. Before you can install a UM language pack, you must first download it to a local folder on the Mailbox server. You can download UM language packs from Exchange Server 2013 UM Language Packs. There's a separate executable file for each language.

After you install the appropriate UM language pack, you can view the list of installed UM language packs by viewing the drop-down list on the Settings page of a UM dial plan or the Language for automated voice interface drop-down list on the General page of a UM auto attendant. You can also configure the default language to be a language other than English (en-US) on UM dial plans and auto attendants.

Warning

The UM language packs for Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 SP1, SP2, or SP3 or Exchange 2010 SP1, SP2, or SP3 can't be used on an Exchange 2013 Mailbox server.
