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.
