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.

2005 FT Indexing: what about additional languages?

I see sqlserver2005 has no many languages which were announced.
For example I need arabic as the language for indexing and search. I dont
see it in the language list.No wordbreaker.
Any ideas?
Oleg,
Yes... While Arabic is not in the list of officially supported languages,
you can download the Microsoft Arabic Word-Breaker (Arabic Search Engine) -
Beta from: http://www.microsoft.com/middleeast/.../beta/search/. While
I've not yet tested this with SQL Server 2005, it should work for you!
Thanks,
John

I am not sure if you will be able to use this in SQL 2005.
