Microsoft Graph Getting preferred language

Question

Hi:

I'm trying to retrieve my Azure AD user info making a call to https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/me and I can get properties like GivenName, Mail... but also I need the preferredLanguage property and it returns null for that property. I tried with other users from my Azure AD and i's allways null.

How is mapped the property preferredLanguage? Where can I set the language of my user and get it calling the microsof graph?

Thank you

@Pako Porras , Thank you for reaching out. If the user(s) are all managed users (in cloud users), you can use PowerShell to set the preferred language for them.

Connect-AzureAD  
#To set the preferred language  
Set-AzureADUser -ObjectId {Object-Id of the user} -PreferredLanguage {language-code, for eg: **en** for **English**}  
  
#To check the preferred language  
Get-AzureADUser -SearchString {userPrincipalName} | select DisplayName, Preferredlanguage  

Once you have got this set you can also use the Microsoft Graph API also to fetch this same information:

Note: You can get the list of supported language here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/external-identities/user-flow-customize-language#supported-languages

In case the user is an On-Prem user, then you would have to first get the preferred language set in the on-prem domain and then get that synced. You can find mode details around this here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/office365/troubleshoot/access-management/set-language-and-region

Hope this helps.
