how to change the user language in Dynamic 365 using Custom Workflow

Description:

In this example we explain that how to change the user setting in Dynamic CRM using custom workflow. Or how to change the Language of the Dynamic CRM using custom workflow. Or how to update the CRM user UILanguage and HelpLanguage using custom workflow in Dynamic 365.or how to change user setting based on the Language of the CRM user using custom workflow or plugin in Dynamic 365.

Here we demonstrate that how to change regional and language option using custom workflow. Or how to change language in Dynamic CRM dynamically based on user language change using custom workflow.

Here we have created one lookup of Language in User Form and when user change the Look up with selection of different language based on that custom workflow will be call and change the Language (UiLanguage and HelpLanguage) of the Dynamic CRM as per lookup change.

So below is the custom workflow code that will help you to how to change Language in Dynamic 365.
