How to change the users default language for GSuite via google api?


I am looking for a way to change the language for a single user for the complete GSuite.

For Gmail for example it would be this. However I would like to change the default language for the complete GSuite.

Is that somehow possible?


Solution

  • Two things:

    1. As an admin, you cannot change the GSuite language for already existing users, you can only set-up a language for new users as decribed here.
    2. Unfortunately the implementation of the feature above (Account settings > Profile > Language) has not been implemented into the Admin SDK yet.
    • Indeed, multiple features available in the Admin console have not been implemented into the API (yet).
    • As for the language settings, currently it is not even possible to retrieve them via API, not to mention to change them.
