In SharePoint 2010 it was easy to switch between languages using the user menu within SharePoint.  To switch language In SharePoint 2013 open Control Panel -> Language and click Add a language.

Once you’ve added the required languages switch between them by moving the language you want to use to the top of the list.

Close and re-open your browser for the change to be recognised.

When you install SharePoint Server 2013 the Distributed Cache service is configured to use 10% of the RAM on the server.  Half of the 10% is used for caching and the other half is used for memory management.  If you add RAM to the server you need to manually re-configure the Distributed Cache service to make use of the extra RAM.

To check the current RAM allocation run the command below from an elevated SharePoint 2013 Management Shell, replacing the server name as necessary.

Use-CacheCluster
Get-AFCacheHostConfiguration -ComputerName ServerName -CachePort “22233”

Calculate the new Distributed Cache service cache size for a 24 GB SharePoint Server as follows:

10% of 24 GB = 2.4 GB

Divide 2.4 GB by 2 = 1.2 GB

Convert 1.2 GB to MB = 1229 MB

Stop the Distributed Cache service on each host using Central Administration -> System Settings -> Manage services on server.

Run the command below from an elevated SharePoint 2013 Management Shell on one host at a time, replacing the cache size as necessary.

Update-SPDistributedCacheSize -CacheSizeInMB CacheSize

Start the Distributed Cache service on each host using Central Administration -> System Settings -> Manage services on server.
