SharePoint, SharePoint 2010

Not every SharePoint site template supports Multilingual UI (MUI)!

Toni Frankola - December 12, 2010

While demonstrating new and cool SharePoint 2010 features to a customer, I wanted to show how easy it is to switch languages on SharePoint 2010 sites, but I was surprised by the following error message:

Figure 1. - This site is based on a site template that does not support alternate languages.

So it seems there are OOTB templates which do not support alternate languages (Supports Multilingual UI). I did some PowerShell magic and here is the list of SharePoint site templates and an indicator that shows if template supports Multilingual UI or not.

The list above shows all templates installed with English SharePoint 2010 Enterprise + FAST. In case you want to check your own templates, use the following PowerShell code:

cls
if((Get-PSSnapin | Where {$_.Name -eq "Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell"}) -eq $null) {
	Add-PSSnapin Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell;
}

#English only templates
Get-SPWebTemplate | Where {$_.LCID -eq 1033} | Select Name, Title, SupportsMultilingualUI

Write-Host "=========================="

#All templates
Get-SPWebTemplate | Select Name, Title, SupportsMultilingualUI
Tags | languages, mui, SharePoint
