Can Google-Apps-Manager changes user language settings for Docs/Calendar/Sites etc?

Hi,

Can Google-Apps-Manager changes user language settings for Docs/Calendar/Sites etc?

I cannot find these features on wiki, but I would like to confirm whether these functions are available in Google API?

Currently, the newly created users will adopt the language based on location and not by inheriting the language setting that is set in the Control Panel. But it makes big troubles for non-local users, eg. foreign employees in Thailand.

Thanks!

From wiki: http://code.google.com/p/google-apps-manager/wiki/ExamplesEmailSettings#Set_User_Language
Set User Language
Syntax
gam user <username>|group <groupname>|ou <ouname>|all users language
<language code>
set the display language used for the user. A full list of language
codes can be found:
http://code.google.com/googleapps/domain/email_settings/developers_guide_protocol.html#GA_email_language_tags
Note that language changes can take several hours to appear in the
user's interface and may require the user to log out and log back in.
Example
This example sets the user's language to UK English
gam user jlennon language en-GB

From wiki: http://code.google.com/p/google-apps-manager/wiki/DomainSettingsExamples
Changing the Domain Default Language
Syntax
gam update domain language <language>
Changes the default language for the Google Apps domain. This will
effect new users but will not change language settings for existing
users. A full list of language codes can be found (see above).
Example
This example will change the domain default language to the King's
English.
gam update domain language en-GB

Hi Eliz,

Thanks for your response.
Indeed I tried the same approach and seems this only applies on Mail but not other services, and language settings are specific to different services and users.
I have checked with Google support and seems there are no API access to change language settings for services others than Mail.

Thanks!
