16.3. Summary
One of the more common requirements for content-centric Web sites is that they present the content in multiple languages to serve the largest audience possible. Fortunately, Microsoft included capabilities in MOSS 2007 Publishing sites to facilitate the creation and management of multilingual sites. This is primarily addressed using variations, a topic covered in depth in this chapter.
In addition, developers should also account for multilingual situations when building custom components, such as Web Parts, for sites that will be presented in multiple languages. This chapter demonstrated how to achieve localization with custom Web Parts.
