Language Requirements and Considerations
A logical Team Foundation Server deployment, whether on one computer or two, can be configured to support one and only one language. If Team Foundation Server is deployed on two computers, both computers require the same configuration for both the Team Foundation Server language and operating system language.
The following table illustrates the various language configurations that are supported:
Operating System |
Windows SharePoint Services |
Team Foundation Server |
Team Foundation Build |

An English Team Foundation Server may be installed on an English or Japanese operating system. A localized Team Foundation Server must be installed on the same language operating system or on an English operating system. For example, if you are deploying a Japanese Team Foundation Server, it may only be installed onto a Japanese version of the operating system or an English version of the operating system.
You must install the Windows SharePoint Services language pack that matches the Team Foundation Server language. For example, if you deploy the English version of Team Foundation Server on an operating system localized for another language, you must install the English language pack for Windows SharePoint Services. If you deploy a Japanese Team Foundation Server on an English operating system, you need to install the Japanese Windows SharePoint Services language pack.
You can install a version of Team Foundation Build in a different language from your version of Team Foundation Server.
