Create the SharePoint site in different languages using variation
Hello,
Today we will learn how to create the sharepoint site in different languages.
Using variation concept in sharepoint we can create sites in different languages without installation of different Sharepoint versions.
Variation concept is best suitable for the publishing sites and pages.
So first downloads the desired languages packs from the microsoft sites.

One way is to check the language options by go to your site
Site Action - >Site Settings -> Go to the Site Collection Administration section ->click on Create Variaion Label
And find the language section as shown below here i have installed total two Finnish and Swedish.
when there is no sharepoint language pack installed in the server you cant find the to select the language option inside the SharePoint.
Now we are going to install the language packs.
Once the language pack is being installed run the Sharepoint 2010 Products Configuration wizards.
Perform the necessary steps from Sharepoint 2010 Products Configuration wizards.
