vCenter 5.1 / email alerts language change not working

Hi,

I want to switch the language of our email alerts from German to Englisch. I followed the steps described in the KB:

http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=101564...

Now vCenter comes up with mixed-languaged email alerts like:

#########################################

Target: <CLUSTERNAME>

Previous Status: green

New Status: yellow

Alarm Definition:

([Event alarm expression: vSphere HA hat eine Failover-Aktion initiiert; Status = yellow] OR [Event alarm expression: vSphere HA hat eine Failover-Aktion abgeschlossen; Status = green])

Event details:

vSphere HA hat eine Failover-Aktion einer virtuellen Maschine im Cluster <CLUSTERNAME> im Datencenter <DATACENTERNAME> initiiert

#########################################

How can I fix it so we'll receive email alerts only in English?

Regards

Change your region and language options to: format "English (United States), location "United States" and copy these settings to all accounts (system and new user accounts). Then reboot your vCenter server.
