2005 Management Studio sa default 'arabic' language

When I open the properties for SA in 2005 Management Studio (MS) I see that the default language is Arabic. If I open 2000 Enterprise Manager for the same instance the language is English. Thanks.

As it appears you have found an issue with the management dialog or an underlying component. I have filed a bug for this so it can be followed up in a service pack (pending the team's decision to fix this).

In reality the default language is not Arabic but it is likely to be English (depending on your version of SQL Server 2005). So the dialog misrepresents this. So you don't need to learn yet another language ;-)

If I recall correctly, you can actually force it to English, and from there on it will display English as your default language. But that would be a workaround...

Thanks. It seems to be more prevalent when SA has master as the default database.
