Migration Assessment Scan: Site Template Language

  • Article

Overview

In SharePoint, it's possible to install language packs and create sites using multiple languages. During a migration, other planning is required to validate sites that aren't using a language familiar to the migration team.

Data Migration

Site content migrates, but validation of the content requires someone that speaks the language the content is in to confirm everything migrated correctly.

Important

Any site that is configured as "No Access" (locked), in SharePoint will be skipped. To see a list of locked site collections see the Locked Sites scan output.

Preparing for Migration

Plan to have appropriate resources available to perform user acceptance testing on the migrated content.

Post Migration

Content experts need to validate the migrated content.
