A while ago I wrote about the new multilingual capabilities of SharePoint 2010 based on the Multilingual User Interface (MUI) – see Multilingual User Interface (MUI) in SharePoint 2010 – Part I and Multilingual User Interface (MUI) in SharePoint 2010 – Part II. But beware – apparently not all site definitions support the MUI.
If you try to enable alternate languages for a SharePoint 2010 meeting workspace you will get an error stating “this site is based on a template that does not not support alternate languages”.
Now if you want to find out which webtemplates support MUI you can run the following Powershell script:
$siteUrl = "http://hades/"
$site = get-spsite $siteurl
$site.GetWebTemplates("1033") |foreach {Write-Host $_.Title $_.Name $_.SupportsMultilingualUI;}
you will get a listing of all installed webtemplates within thesite collection specified by the url parameter. Notice the SupportsMultilingualUI property of the SPWebTemplate object – for the Meeting Workspaces and Blog site definitions this will return False.
Next is the complete listing returned on an install with SharePoint Server 2010 Enterprise Edition.
