For SSRS 2005 how can you set the default language for reports so that
it is used for new reports?

Modify the report template located here:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio
8\Common7\IDE\PrivateAssemblies\ProjectItems\ReportProject\Report.rdl

It is defaulting to English (United States) but I want it to be
English (United Kingdom). There is no options for US format in the
file, therefore what do I need to add to this file?

You're right, I couldn't get around the report assemblies filling in the
language for me (RS 2005). I tried adding the language and setting the
initial language to false. I then tried to change my regional settings and
relaunch Visual Studio, but my report still defaulted to en-us. I didn't
reboot. I guess you could change it after the fact with xsl, but that's not
very clean. Are there a lot of reports that need to be modified at once, or
just that it's one more thing to remember when creating a new report. I
wonder if RS 2008 has the ability to set the report template default
language. I tried in RS 2008, same behavior as RS 2005 on this issue. The
contents of the report template has changed.
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio
9.0\Common7\IDE\PrivateAssemblies\ProjectItems\ReportProject\Report.rdl

I wrote this up for RS 2008 as a wish list item in Microsoft Connect
