Multi-lingual Support: System interface and user generated content

Driving our resolve to truly support multi-lingual drivers is: China's enterprises more and more, many of our customers are in the global business, and even mergers and acquisitions of other countries of the company, do not support multi-lingual, can not provide services to customers, not support multi-lingual portal product functionality is also a non-use portal products

Multi-lingual support sounds simple, but in the enterprise is not simple, because the enterprise multilingual has two meanings: one is the system interface of multi-language, and the second is the customer produces the content of the multi-language

SharePoint Native support System interface is multilingual, but there are limitations, and SharePoint does not support customer-generated content in multiple languages, in view of this, the openshare of the photosynthetic information has been extended to SharePoint multilingual, so that can really support all multi-language

For multiple languages of the system interface, SharePoint native is supported, but the supported method is not "directly artificial" choice, is "indirect artificial" choice, the so-called indirect artificial choice means that SharePoint according to the browser's default language to set the system interface language, If you want to change the interface language, you have to go to the browser to change the default language of the browser, and then go back to the SharePoint interface refresh so that the language will change.

However, there are two problems, the first is that most users do not know to change the browser default language to change the SharePoint language, so many users think that SharePoint does not support multiple languages, and the second is that some users are accustomed to the browser default language is not changed (such as English), But access SharePoint in other languages (such as Chinese or Traditional Chinese)

OpenShare unlocks this limitation of SharePoint, OpenShare's approach is to place the language option directly in the upper-right corner of the portal page, allowing users to switch languages directly, very convenient, very user-friendly

SharePoint is not supported for multi-language issues with customer-generated content, but this requirement may be more important, such as customizing the main menu with multiple language configurations, the text of the custom menu being the customer-generated content, the customer wants to be able to configure the main menu as a multi-language, or a different language, Employees in other countries can not understand, it is still. There are a number of similar examples, such as the name of the site when the site is created, the name of the list or library, and so on, all of which require multiple languages. OpenShare a good solution to the problem.
