cannot find "language settings" in sharepoint server 2010 - sharepoint

i want to use multilanguage support in sharepoint ,
so after installing language pack and reconfiguring sharepoint
i couldn't find "language settings" under site administration in site settings
any ideas ??

once you have installed the language pack, you should be able to change it on the site settings for each site/site collection.
On top of that, the user can change the language on a per-user basis.

SLK - Assignement List Web Part is missing

I deployed and activated the SharePoint Learning Kit (SLK) to my SharePoint 2013 Foundation according to this video. In the video there is a Web Part called "Assignment List Web Part". But I don't have this one in my Web Part Collection.
I have all SLK Features activated but the Web Part is still missing.
Is my solution corrupted or is SLK not capable with SharePoint 2013 Foundation?
You have to activate the WebPart on Site Collection level.
Select Site Actions | Site Settings to get to the site setting page.
Under Site Collection Administration select Site Collection Features.
Activate the feature.
This will add the "Assignment List Web Part" to the WebPart gallery.

For further questions regarding SLK, you might ask them on the Codeplex SLK Discussion Board.
There you have the chance to discuss your questions with other people facing the same problems and even the developer himself.

Create a custom list in sharepoint via Visual Studio

I've created a customlist in Visual Studio 2013 and deployed the same in the SharePoint 2013 server. Its working fine and is showing in the "Site Settings -> Site Features" area of my sharepoint site. This will allow the user to activate/deactivate it. But, my site may be a big one in size and I want to create a lot of lists via VisualStudio. So, Is it possible to avoid listing it in "Site Features" area ? This is not listing for lists available in SharePoint, when we add it via UI?
What you see in Site Features section is sharepoint feature not list it self. You can include any number of lists in one feature.

Multilingual sharepoint Site Creation - The Site definition I have developed does not appear to create site

I am new to Sharepoint.
Currently I am using VS 2005, WSS 3.0 for creating a site definition. My requirement is to create a site definition with master pages, web parts, etc... I have created a site definition in VS 2005 using team site definition option. deployed the developed site definition to sharepoint.
When I try to create site using the site definition I deployed in English version I am able to do so and working fine.
when I try to select German as Language (or any language), my site definition is not displayed there. (While it displays other previously created site definitions by others).
I have created Templates/1031/xml/webtemp....xml in my solution also for 1041 (for japanese).
I am clueless on what am I missing.
Have you installed required language packs on SharePoint WFE Server?
Please check and it's must for each language.

Sharepoint: Why do I not get the option to create new Survey, Discussion, Wiki etc?

I have created a new web application (port 44455) to host all the discussions, surveys and wikis that we will want. I then created a new site collection (which uses the publishing template) and then tried to create a survey (AllSiteContent --> Create --> Tracking --> Survey) but the only option presented was 'Tasks'.
Why is this? On the main web application (port80), all the options were available. Did I forget somthing? The wrong site template?

[I know this isn't programming exactly but it isn't server-related either. I just know there are some Sharepoint experts here...]
You need to activate the "Team Collaboration Lists" under Site Actions -> Modify All Site Settings -> Site Features (not site collection features)
Navigate to
Site Actions -> Site Settings ->
Modify all Settings -> Site Colection Features
and see if the following are activated.
Office SharePoint Server Standard Site Collection features
Office SharePoint Server Publishing Infrastructure

Page Not Found Error on SharePoint Sites in TFS

I'm in big trouble here, today i was asked to add a new user to TFS, the first thing I do is adding it to SharePoint, but now every time I tried to enter the project portal (Team Explorer -> right click on project -> Show project portal) I got an page not found error, with every single project, Here are some basic info about the setup:
2 Tier TFS, TFS server, ReportServices and SharePoint are on the same server.
If I try to enter administration portal on this server (cd21vids1 is the tfs server)
http://cd21vids1:17012/ -- I get Directory Listing Denied
http://cd21vids1:17012/default.aspx -- I get the default page, which works OK.
If i enter a project site i get this results (88 is the default port for SharePoint in this server):
http://cd21vids1:88/Sites/Cnbv.Framework/ -- Page not found
http://cd21vids1:88/Sites/Cnbv.Framework/default.aspx -- I get the page but with no styles and the layout is wrong, also i get an error on the "remaining work" report (directory listing denied), the reports that have problems are "Issues List" and "Exit Criteria Status" (Directory Listing Denied on both cases).
Everything else seems to work OK, (builds, check-ins), I hope you can help me out, thanks.

UPDATE: I did some more tests, i get a page not found error in the url
http://cd21vids1:88/Sites/Cnbv.Framework/_styles/core.css
Maybe this is way I get the default page without the correct layout.
UPDATE2: Also when I click the "Windows Sharepoint Services Site Administration" link I get this error:
"The Team Foundation Server could not locate the online Site Administration application for this team project portal in Windows SharePoint Services. The most likely cause of this error is that the language settings on the team project portal do not match the current language of your Visual Studio client. The location of Site Administration is specific to the language of the project portal. Contact the Team Foundation Server administrator for availability information of Site Administration for this project portal. For more information, see the Windows SharePoint Services Administrator's Guide."
Someone changed the language to the server from English US to Spanish MX, I changed the language back to English and restarted the server but no dice (BTW I already had a folder named 2058 in "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\12\TEMPLATE\LAYOUTS\" like explained in this post
my SharePoint problem is fixed, here are the details.
Run "SharePoint Product Technologies Configuration Wizard"
1.1. Select do not disconnect from this server farm, click next
1.2. Select No, this machine will continue to host the web site, click next.
1.3 Click Next
Restart IIS
I have had the same problem with the core.css file. I didn't want to use Sharepoint designer to solve it cause it would have unghosted my site!
So I tried this (it works) : on the site administration, go to "master page", and down the page you have a way to redefine the css used for the site. So i put there the url :/_layouts/1036/Styles/core.css (1036= French, so use 1033 if you are site is in english!), and after validation it worked.
The problem is that the page still try to get the core.css from http://MYServeur/_styles/core.css ..and return a 404!
But at least I have my style back. I just post it in case... I still hope a real better solution...
