Error message when you add a new variation label and try to create the hierarchy: "The variation system failed to pair up pages http://<Server>/en-US/web/Pages/default.aspx and /ja-JP/web/Pages/default.aspx because their Content Types do not match"
After you change the content type of the Default.aspx page
used as a variation hierarchy on an Office SharePoint Server 2007 site, you add
a new variation label and try to create the hierarchy. However, you cannot
create the hierarchy. Also, the following error message is logged in the Variation logs:
The variation system failed to pair up pages
http://<Server>/en-US/web/Pages/default.aspx and
/ja-JP/web/Pages/default.aspx because their Content Types do not match.
Workaround 1
If you have already created your
variations hierarchy, work around this problem by following these steps:
- Change the welcome page of the destination label site from
Default.aspx to another page.
- Delete Default.aspx on the destination label site.
- Browse to the equivalent of source label site,
check out the Default.aspx page, and then check in the Default.aspx page. The variation system will
re-create the Default.aspx page on the destination label site.
- When the page is recreated, change the welcome page on the
destination label site back to Default.aspx.
- Repeat steps 1 through step 4 if you have multiple variation
sites.
Workaround 2
If you have not already created your
variations hierarchy, work around this problem by following this best practice. Before
create the variations hierarchy, change the content type of the Default.aspx
page. Then, you can create your variations hierarchy and add new labels without
any issues.

Community Feedback System
Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high
and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances
are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back.
Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what
didn't.
Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be
correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each
other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're
not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry
edits), please consult a professional.
