How to setup variations in MOSS 2007

  • Artikel

In this document I have covered an example of setting up the MOSS site in French.

(Site variations can only be used if you have created a site using one of the Publishing templates, or if you have activated the Publishing feature for your site.)

Prepare Operating System for multi-lingual changes:-

1) Install additional language files on Windows Server 2003

  • On your front-end Web server, click Start, point to Settings and then Control Panel, and then click Regional and Language Options.
  • In the Regional and Language Options dialog box, on the Languages tab, in the Supplemental Language Support section, select both of the following checkboxes:
    • Install files for complex script and right-to-left languages
    • Install files for East Asian languages
  • Click OK in the dialog box that alerts you that additional disk space is required for the files.
  • Click OK to install the additional language files.

  • When prompted, insert your Windows Server 2003 product disc or provide the location of your Windows Server 2003 installation files.
  • When prompted to restart your computer, click Yes.

2) Install additional language files on Windows Server 2008

  • Accept the terms, and then click Next.
  • Click Install.

  • Run PSCONFIG and ensure its successful > IISRESET

  • Specify the variation home (if same site then put a "/")
  • Choose the following settings
    • Automatically create site and page variations
    • Recreate a new target page when the source page is republished.
    • Update Web Part changes to target pages when variation source page update is propagated.
    • Reference existing resources
  • Go to Site Settings > Variation Labels > New Label > Provide values as below screenshot > OK

(Now we are making a label for default language site (English in our case) and hence it will be the source variation)

  • Click on New Label again > Create another variation label using different language (French in our case)

clip_image010

  • Click on clip_image012 button
  • You will see the variations are being created

clip_image014

  • Ensure clip_image016
  • Now the site is available in English and French and any new pages will be created in French as well

English:

French:

  1. Extract the .IMG file using WinRAR or UltraISO to a folder, you should see a folder by name langpacks within extracted folder Finally,
  2. No valid language pack found Notes: I also tried to download the file 6002.18005.090410-1830_amd64fre_Server_LP_1-KRTMSxLP1_DVD.iso fromhttp://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=3A7FB7A2-3519-495B-9BC5-2007082CA9A6&displaylang=en and burn into a DVD but the same result as 6. Grateful if you could advise. Thanks.

    I had faced the same problem as that of KitMing, NG - but then please remember that every Windows 2008 or R2 with service pack has different language packs so hence you may need to download the SP2 Language Pack. Best Regards,

    I'm new to MOSS 2007 i successfully created a Sharepoint site. After that i decided to implement site variation. So i tried creating a variated site but the problem is only new pages are propagated to the variated site. The old pages before i created a site heirarchies are not propagating in the variated site. How to solve the problem.
