When native SharePoint multilingual is enough,
and when it isn’t
Most organizations begin with SharePoint’s out-of-the-box multilingual capabilities.
For basic page translation, that may be sufficient.
But native features stop short of delivering a complete multilingual experience.
Key elements remain untranslated, language versions drift out of sync, and IT is left managing updates manually.
PointFire extends SharePoint so multilingual sites work the way users expect — without adding operational overhead for IT.
SharePoint’s native multilingual features help you get started.
PointFire fills the gaps they leave behind.
What SharePoint doesn’t translate
- No machine translation of pages
- No translation or filtering for documents or lists
- Choice columns are hard-coded in one language
- UI elements must be localized manually, slowly
- Language toggle doesn’t fully change UI language
- Nothing to tell you what needs translating or re-translating
These limitations aren’t obvious at first, until users notice missing or outdated content in their language.
Know what needs attention before users report it
PointFire continuously evaluates your SharePoint environment and surfaces recommended actions in a centralized dashboard.
