Language display in SharePoint 2013

I changed the IE language as Chinese, then I open the SharePoint 2013 site. It display some Chinese and English language, not all Chinese.
If I changed the IE language as English, site display all English, no Chinese.
Anybody can explain it? Thanks in advance.

I know how to change the site language, but don't know why
Site Settings Site
Libraries and Lists
still is in English, no change to Chinese.

Welsh Language Pack for SharePoint 2013

Are there any plans to provide a Welsh Language pack for SharePoint 2013? There was one for 2007 and 2010 but Welsh is not on the list for 2013 as far as I can see (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff463597.aspx).

Hi all, we have contracted with a Sharepoint specialist who have produced numerous welsh / bilingual web sites. They are working on a business case to Microsoft in conjunction with certain agencies and focusing on how education sales would suffer without
it. They seem to think that the likely date for release will be Q2 2014, Hope this helps, it will be too late for us and we probably won't run our intranet bilingually as a result.

SharePoint 2013 Business Intelligence

Hi All, <o:p></o:p>
I read and watched a couple of TechNet vidoes and some external websites about SP2013 Business Intelligence. Most of websites used AdventureWorks Database
to show the BI capabilities.<o:p></o:p>
However, we have our own Excel files that we need to display on SharePoint 2013 including KPIs, charts, reports and will be used by managers.<o:p></o:p>
I have a couple of questions: <o:p></o:p>
Q1: I need to design tables in
SQL Server 2012 (will give the database name to be BI) with information of Excel files. Is this approach correct before I embark designing database tables?<o:p></o:p>
Q2: After
I design the tables, I need to show end users their information using BI database in the SharePoint 2013 out of the box forms to type in their user
details. This user information will eventually become a business intelligence centre and shown to managers with KPIs and charts. How could I display SP2013 Forms with custom
SQL Server 2012 database that I would be creating? Can I use business connectivity services to display external database? Or any other way to display user information from custom database? <o:p></o:p>
Please advise.
Regards,
Aroh<o:p></o:p>

1. You can, but you can also leave the data in Excel and use PowerPivot services to display it.
2. For BI, BCS won't be enough,as you'll typically will display the info in some type of report. You can do that in PowerPivot or display that data in an SSRS report (Report Services in SharePoint integrated mode). The latter is better for KPIs. FInally,
you could use PerformancePoint to create KPI dashboards, but right now I'm thinking you don't need to use that in this situation, it provides more than it seems you're needing.

SharePoint 2013 Configuration Wizard Missing Components after Install ServicePack 1

Hello,
today we have installed SharePoint Service Pack 1 for SharePoint Server 2013 inclusive Service Pack 1 for all language packs (we used the new released Service Packs).
Our SharePoint Environment has only one SharePoint Server.
Many
language packs
are
installed
on
this
server.
If we try to run the configuration wizard through the GUI, then we get the following error:
If we try to run "psconfig -cmd upgrade -inplace b2b -wait" then we get also an error:

The upgrade command is invalid or a failure has been encountered.
The server farm will not work with missing installs. Add "-cmd installcheck -noinstallcheck" to the command-line to ignore this warning.
The following is missing on :

SharePoint 2013 - Missing Publishing Page Ribbon/Tab on custom page layout - Page language="C#" Inherits="Microsoft.SharePoint.Publishing.PublishingLayoutPage,.... VS CodeBehind="BlogDemo.aspx.cs" Inherits="DemoProject.Branding.BlogDemo"

I created page layouts using Visual Studio 2013 and SharePoint 2013. I added both ASP.NET web controls (e.g. asp:Label, asp:HyperLink) and SharePoint web controls (e.g. SharePointWebControls:UrlField) in a page layout.
However, when I deployed the solution, I cannot edit all the ASP.NET & SharePoint web controls (column fields from custom content type used for the page layout) except the web part zones.
Then I found out about inherits property:
1) if I use the code for the page layout as shown below:
<%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeBehind="BlogDemo.aspx.cs"
Inherits="DemoProject.Branding.BlogDemo" MasterPageFile="/_catalogs/masterpage/DemoProject/DemoMasterPage.master"
%>
Result: There is no publishing ribbon/tab. E.g. Edit, Publish..... although both ASP.NET & SharePoint web controls can be displayed on the page layout.
Screenshot:
2) if I use the code instead as shown below:
<%@ Page language="C#" Inherits="Microsoft.SharePoint.Publishing.PublishingLayoutPage,Microsoft.SharePoint.Publishing,Version=15.0.0.0,Culture=neutral,PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c"
meta:progid="SharePoint.WebPartPage.Document" %>
Result: Publishing ribbon/tab is available, but ASP.NET web controls won't appear. Only SharePoint web controls appear on the page layout.
Screenshot:
I wonder how I can combine both codes to ensure that the page layout can have publishing ribbon/tab and displays both ASP.NET & SharePoint web controls.

Found a way to solve the issue
I follow the solution:

SharePoint 2013 Problem with automatic detection of Site language - default language

Hi all,
we have a SiteCollection that was created with 'english' as
default language.
On our SharePoint 2013 environment we have installed the 'german' and 'french' language pack. Both languages are activated as alternative languages on that SiteCollection.
But the automatic language detection is not working properly for us.
Problem description:
User Browser language = German --> Site language = German
If you now change the Browser language to 'Italian' then we would expect that the site will be displayed in 'English' because the 'Italian' language pack is not installed and the SiteCollection default language was set to 'English'...
But the Site will be not displayed in 'English' it will keep the last language in this case 'German'...
Another example: If you change the browser language to 'French' the whole Site is displayed in French. If you try to switch now to 'Italian' then the Site will be still displayed in 'French' instead of 'English'...
Any ideas what could cause this problem?
Regards, Simon

Hi Simon,
Here is the order of the language preference showing to users with different settings
For your issue it may be due to the IE data cache, please clear all the IE data cache, then reopen the IE browser see if it displays the English language as expected.
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff805087.aspx
If the User Profile service application is started on the SharePoint Server 2013 farm, the language preferences stored in the user profile are used. For information about how to add a list of languages to user profile settings in SharePoint Server 2013,
see Add, edit, or delete custom properties in SharePoint Server 2013 user profiles. For information about how to add a list of languages to user profile settings in SharePoint Online Administration Center, see Add and edit user profile properties on Office.com.
If no language preference is defined in the user profile, or if the server uses SharePoint Foundation 2013, the language preferences stored in the user's language settings for the site collection are used.
If no language preference is defined in the user's site collection language settings, the language preferences stored in the user's web browser are used.
If no language preference is defined in the user's web browser, the default site language is used.

If Condition in Keyword Query Language (SharePoint 2013 Search Results)

Hi All,
Can we have an "If" condition in Query text box in SharePoint 2013 Search results page. For example, i want to hide all list items whose
status is "HideItem" from appearing in search results?
I am trying this: {?{searchTerms} (contentclass:STS_ListItem -ListItemStatus:"HideItem")}
But, this hides all items like aspx pages, pdf's, docs and displays only list items.
Similarly, hide pages of some name like: AllItems.aspx, ViewDetails.aspx, AllAssets.aspx
{?{searchTerms} (contentclass:STS_ListItem_850 -filename:"AllItems.aspx")}
Any help would be great. Thanks in advance.

Thanks Steve. I found this solution after a bit of struggle :).
Also, date comparision is not working as expected.
{?{searchTerms} NOT(contentclass:STS_ListItem AND ListItemStatus:"HideItem" AND
PublishDate<{Today})} is not working and throwing syntax error.
I don't see any solid reference to KQL syntax except this msdn link.
Can you please suggest any good material on KQL syntax ?
Thank you once again.

SharePoint 2013 On-Premises - Search not crawling Korean content, but all other languages

We are facing an issue in a SharePoint 2013 site where I have lots of PPT files with different languages and also managed metadata tags tagged with them.
We are facing issue with Korean content PPT files where We are not able to search these files by their managed properties. Somehow SharePoint search is not able to crawl these Korean content PPT files with managed properties.
if we remove content from these files and do a crawl and search the file with managed property we get the result but if I put a small paragraph of Korean language and do the crawl it doesn't appear in search results with same query after the crawl.
Following are the server and site configuration details we are using:
Windows Server 2012 standard with SharePoint 2013 Enterprise Server installation
All our tags and managed properties are in English language only.
We are using SharePoint search API where I am passing query to SharePoint to fetch the result for example below is the query we are sending:
Ex.
( parentlink:"site URL*”)AND ( owstaxIdLanguage:"Korean"))
Following is the search result with different scenarios
Content in PPT file
Search using
Result
English
File name in search box
Worked
English
Using managed property
Worked
Korean
File name in search box
Sometimes works
Korean
Using managed property
No result
Following are the list of scenarios we tried to fix the Korean content issue:
Did a full crawl on all libraries multiple times
Did a full crawl on individual libraries
Changed library level settings to allow items to appear in search result, followed by a full crawl on individual library
Tried changing font for Korean content to generic font (Arial Unicode MS) per suggested by our PPT expert and crawled the content.
Installed Korean language pack on CM2 server and did a full crawl after uploading Korean content PPTs on UAT site

Enabled "Always index all Web Parts on this site" in site settings > site visibility
Do we see some error in crawl logs in search
Is it a variation site? If yes, was the managed property data manually updated or it was done by system
What if you create a new list\column and check if crawl works on that column

Sharepoint 2013: Problem / Error when creating Variation Hierarchy for French and German Languages from Variation root EN

Hi,
I have a website with English and Arabic Language Packs installed. I have the corresponding Variation heirachies created and the whole site collection is published.
Recently the client asked for french and german languages to be accomodated as well. So I followed the same approach I did for English and arabic (installed the language packs) for foundation, ran ocnfiguration wizard, installed server language pack &
ran configuration wizard.
But after creating the variation label, when i try to create the variation heirarchy, I am getting the following error.
"Unknown failure when creating a variation of page http://server:port/en/pages/default.aspx in label /fr/Pages/default.aspx.
The Variations Create Hierarchies job failed with the following error message& Unknown failure when creating a variation of site
http://server:port/en in label fr."
Am not sure what is going wrong. Appreciate a feedback.
Thanks,

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that the error occurred when you created the Variation Hierarchy for French and German Languages from Variation root EN.
I recommend to check the Resources folder located at C:\Program Files\Common Files\microsoft shared\Web Server Extensions\15 to see if the file core.fr-FR.resx exists in the folder.
Here is a similar thread for you to take a look:

SharePoint 2013 - What are all requirement components for People Pickers to list, search, display, and assign users permission

Hi All
the past few months, I have been working with permission issues related to SharePoint 2013 site permission settings using People Pickers to list, search, display users to assign or check permission.
Our environment include multiple domains and few forests. Our SharePoint farm is installed on one domain but the good thing is our AD structure are configured to have all other domains and forests with 2 ways trusts with this domain so domain
users are authenticated and can access SharePoint just fine. Also SharePoint use default claim authentication.
The problem is People Picker is not display all domains user accounts when site owners need to assign permission. So to resolve the problem, I had provisioned
SA - User profile service and Import AD domain user accounts (one way) into Sharepoint.
I configured stsadm.exe -o setproperty -pn peoplepicker-searchadforests -pv
for all domains and forests (eventhough, as mentioned we do have 2 ways trust)
and sometime tried different query (user last name, domain\logonname, email address) if one is not showing.
With all that added, People Pickers seem to find and display user account for all domains now.
My question now is do UPS and all AD domains users need to be imported into SharePoint and STSadm configuration are required in order to have all domains user accounts to display in People Pickers so the site owners can
find them and assign permission when needed?
Please share your advices, comments as they are really valuable to me.
Thanks
Swanl

UPS and people pickers are virtually unrelated. The only connection between them is to do with caching and updating user names and emails if they change over time, or in other words not relevant to your situation.
To answer your question directly; Nope, you do not need to set up synchronisation connections to a domain to be able to pick up a person in a people picker. As you've seen you may need to run some STSADM commands to make sure they are checking the right
places.

How display attachment links in a list view in SharePoint 2013?

Hi all,
I'm looking for a way to display attachment links in a list in SharePoint 2013. There are few resources online to achieve this in SP2010 and SP07. Your help is much appreciated.
Thank you.

Hi Ram Sampath:
You can use Event Receiver and create another list(ListA) to record your attachment link.
Maybe your process is:
Users add list items and attachments
List event will be fired
Use Event Receiver to get attachment url and then Write into ListA
You also can refer to the following web site:

Sharepoint 2013 custom search results grouping display template

Hi,
I am trying to implement custom grouping for search result items. I would like to group them by a managed property, but without using result blocks (query rules). The idea is to sort the results by the property and then compare the current item (ctx.CurrentItem)
with the previous item using ctx.CurrentItem.ParentTableReference. If a new property value is detected we insert a new 'group header' (just some simple html). The problem is the ParentTableReference is undefined. Shouldn't there be such a property in current
item object?
I'm implementing this in a custom search result item display template...
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you want to customize search result items display template.
I suggest you get enumerate all properties of JavaScript context object and debug you code to watch the
ctx.CurrentItem object.

Sharepoint 2013 - Display Disclaimer when a MySite is created

Hallo there,
i spent the whole day searching the web for something i thought i already found some time ago, but cannot remember where...
Maybe you guys can help...
We need to Display some Kind of disclaimer / Terms of usage when a user initially creates his mysite. Best solution would be to Display a Website with a "Yes" / "No" choice... Clicking "Yes" would continue to create the
users mysite - "No" would cancel the process.
is there any way to do this?
Thanks in Avance!
Phife

Hi Phife,
When we first time to click "About me" menu to create MySite, it will pop up "Let's get social" dialog, I think you may have found this dialog some time ago.
If you want to popup other disclaimer dialog when you click "About me", I think you can try customizing it's event to judge if MySite hasn't been created then pop up the custom disclaimer dialog with Yes/No choices for creating mysite agreement, then perform
the proper action based on the Yes or No.
