Multilingual support is key to the
deployment success of many of our global customers. This post shares our plans
for language coverage for SharePoint 2010 and estimated release timeframes. To
date we have shipped 19 languages, including English, Japanese, French,
Russian, German, Spanish, Chinese Simplified, Chinese Traditional, Arabic,
Korean, Hebrew, Hindi, Danish, Thai, Swedish, Polish, Portuguese (Brazil),
Dutch and Italian with 21 others shipping between now and September 2010.
The following table applies to SharePoint Foundation
2010, SharePoint Server 2010, Office Web Apps, Project Server 2010, Search
Server 2010 and Search Server 2010 Express. The Estimated Release Timeframe is
RTM date, which may be earlier than the date when it hit public download.
Note: Fast Search Server for SharePoint 2010 uses the
language infrastructure of SharePoint Server 2010, so there is no separate
language pack or localized version for it.
