If this comes the requirement to provide multilingual content, you need a good content management system that will decline as much work. Now, SharePoint is not a pure content management system but offers many features that enable the development of the company's intranet (or even a website) with very little effort, and that even if pages must be submitted in several languages.
With the new product version of SharePoint 2010, the multi-language use is even more simplified. Thus, users could also in SharePoint 2007 have already select a language, where language packs (for example, for English and German) were installed. This means that users were then either a British or a German SharePoint environment, but not usable in parallel in both languages website.
