For those who didn’t hear it yet (not sure if that is possilbe )

SharePoint 2010 reaches RTM!

For me personally the most important information about the release was:

They will be able to download the product in English, French, Spanish, German, Russian, and Dutch via the Volume Licensing Service Center starting April 27

Yes !! This release we don’t have to wait until the dutch language pack comes out.
And yes i will install the english version, but i still need the dutch support/language files to satisfy the user .

For everyone who is considering installing SharePoint in their native language from the start > rethink !

Not sure if you know what you are doing but the error messages are also translated. And this doesn’t make it easy to search for answers, if you don’t know what the problem is.

Those who know, know you like an English base installation. However, don’t forget : the language of the sitecollection is the default language of al sub-sites.

NOTE: not sure how SharePoint 2010 handles this, have’n't had the change to test this yet.
