French translation errors occur when you edit a response to a meeting request by using OWA in an Exchange Server 2010 SP1 environment

Symptoms

Consider the following scenario:

You configure the language settings in Microsoft Office Outlook Web App (OWA) to French in a Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 Service Pack 1 (SP1) environment.
You receive a meeting request.
You edit a response to the meeting request before you send the reply by using OWA.

In this scenario, the grammar of the meeting response information is incorrect. For example:

If you click Yes, the information displays "Oui, je participera." Instead, the information should display "Oui, je participerai."

Note "Oui, je participerai" means "Yes, I will attend."
If you click Tentative, the information displays "Oui, je participera peut-être." Instead, the information should display "Oui, je participerai peut-être."

Note "Oui, je participerai peut-être" means "Yes, I might attend."
If you click No, the information displays "Non, je ne participera pas." Instead, the information should display "Non, je ne participerai pas."

Note "Non, je ne participerai pas" means "No, I will not attend."

This issue occurs because an incorrect grammar template is used in French translations when the subject is “I.”

To resolve this issue, install the following update rollup:
