I have a Windows 2003 VM Image which was created by a Swedish Windows Install. Afterwards the language settings of the machine was changed to English. However, I just added IIS6 Windows component to the machine (from Add/Remove Programs) - IIS6 is not in English. It's in Swedish.

IIS Manager's Menu options are in English, but the Title Bar uses hanteraren(Swedish for Manager). The IIS Error pages come in Swedish. How do I get IIS's default language back in English.

You reinstall/install new with an English version.

I'm assuming you've followed the steps here to change the language settings on the OS (default input language and installed services), which is the primary supported option for [mostly] changing the OS language. The other way is to buy and install a MUI pack (Multilingual User Interface Pack), which does a tolerable job (though I can't say from experience whether or not it will help your issue), or ideally, install the OS in the language of your choice from the start.

Honestly, kind of disappointing and unhelpful, but I suppose wanting to change the OS language isn't a common enough concern to warrant development time to make it work well.

I'm not an IIS expert by any means, but since you say the menu options are fine but the error pages and title bar are still in Swedish, it might be the globalization options that need changed.

Stapes for Changing the Default ASP Language (IIS 6.0)

The default ASP language affects ASP files that do not use the <%@Language%> directive. Changing the default ASP language corresponds to the metabase setting, AspScriptLanguage Metabase Property.

Important

You must be a Administrators on the local computer to perform this stapes. As a security best practice, log on to your computer by using an account that is not in the Administrators group, and then use the runas command to run IIS Manager as an administrator. At a command prompt, type runas /user:Administrative_AccountName "mmc %systemroot%\system32\inetsrv\iis.msc".
To change the default ASP language

  • In IIS Manager, double-click the local computer, right-click the starting-point directory of the application you want to configure, and then click Properties.
  • Click the Directory tab, and then click Configuration.
  • Click the Options tab.
  • In the Application configuration section, in the Default ASP language box, type the language you want to use.
  • Click OK.
