Reading Time: 7 minutes. Year 2018 is drawing to an end, and it’s a good time for some reflection on what an interesting year it’s been!

SharePoint linguistic search features
Reading Time: 7 minutes. I’ve been posting about different localization / globalization / multilingual options of SharePoint for quite some time. It’s a topic that’s kind of close to my heart, being a non-English speaker with a really difficult native language – one, that Microsoft always gets wrong even though it’s not for the lack of trying!

Update-Database is just the one I ran into problems […]
How to fix “AADSTS90008: The user or administrator has not consented to use the application”?
Reading Time: 6 minutes. A couple of days ago, I got a comment asking how to fix error AADSTS90008 when developing an application using Azure Active Directory The error in question was this: AADSTS90008: The user or administrator has not consented to use the application with ID ‘[guid]’.
