MORE INFORMATION

You can run the following command to select different locales for links:

stsadm -o mysite -title SSP_name -usemysitelanguage Num

The value for the Num placeholder can be either 0 or 1.

A value of 0 means that the link uses the locale that the My Site host uses.
A value of 1 means that the link uses the locale that the created My Site page uses.

Note The new localization is performed on a timer task. Therefore, you must wait for several minutes before you view the linked pages.
