We have a SharePoint online site opened in Sharepoint designer 2013.

Site settings:

  • Default language: Swedish
  • Alternative language: English

When we add a workflow and start editing the workflow the workflow, all the actions and conditions are in Swedish, we want to develop in English.

Writing "Set" returns error message: "No result"

We changed the settings in Options | Choose editing language from swedish to english. But no change.

There is an other question on this site: Sharepoint Designer - How to change Language But that is how to get SharePoint Designer in English and that we have, it's the workflow that is causing problems for us.

  • All time is this same problem. The better ways is write always in English, but all time it's geting sometimes Your national language and English. – Grzegorz Z Feb 16 '15 at 10:18
  • I can't find any information were it gets it's language setting. Could be the Site setting but I can't see a valid reason for the designer to use the site setting. The steps in the workflow must be saved in a format that is language neutral. So it's should be a Intellisense setting for the designer. – MathiasWestin Feb 16 '15 at 10:43

Unfortunately, The SharePoint Workflow actions depend on the default language that you have been selected during creating the new site.

I found out a great a workaround that helped me to Change Workflow Actions language in Sharepoint Designer that match with your scenario

I hope it helps you.

  • Sorry for late response. I don't have time to test the workaround right now. But it seems like a valid workaround. Hopefully the Sharepoint team will change the product so that the designer can choose the language in the future. – MathiasWestin Aug 3 '16 at 11:17
