Variation was
also a part of MOSS 2007and now is also a part of SharePoint 2010 with some
added features.
Variations
are used when we would like to create multi lingual SharePoint sites. There is
not much information available about variations but I will try to cover as much
as possible.
You can find
variation settings under site collection settings. Variation, Variations labels
and variation log.
Variation
operations execute on the back ground timer jobs in SharePoint 2010. If you see
under Job definitions in Central administration, you will find different jobs
running for variations.
We here need
to create variation labels and hierarchy and define the source site and then
these settings for variations will be replicated for all targeted sites.
Variations
can also be set programmatically. We have not explored this very much however
whenever we get a chance to explore this, we would love to post it one more
time with more information with example.
