  Hi A.Salah ,
  
  The language when viewing report manager is taken from IE culture.
  see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms156493(SQL.90).aspx
  
  
  
  The language & Culture for  for a single text box is set via properties  "F4" 
  look for Language properties  pull down language\culture  SSRS 2005 is in words whilst SSRS 2008 has it in in the four letter format.
  
  To set the  language for the complete report.
  SSRS 2005  top top left of the design window  for a small square  click on it en press "F4"  
  SSRS2008 Click on the blackground  then "F4". ( not the body but the area out side of the page layout.)
  
  The properties  you set at report level are inherited and marked as "default"
  see  http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms159642.aspx
  
  
  If you want to set the culture via =User!Language then set it in any of these places
  
  
  If You want to set the Culture via a URl this can be done by using the 4 letter format
  see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms155064.aspx 
  
  Hope this helps
