Answer 1

Hi,

Did you check to see if there is any error information about this in uls logs?

More information Variations overview,

when i'm opening the site after creating the label the ULS gives this unexpected error 

System.ArgumentNullException: Value cannot be null.  Parameter name: uriString   
 at System.Uri..ctor(String uriString)    
 at Microsoft.SharePoint.SPSite..ctor(String requestUrl)    
 at Microsoft.SharePoint.Publishing.Internal.VariationSettings.CanUserAccessWeb(String url)    
 at Microsoft.SharePoint.Publishing.Variations.InitializeUserAccessibleLabels()    
 at Microsoft.SharePoint.Publishing.Variations.get_UserAccessibleLabels()    
 at ASP._controltemplates_variationsrootlanding_ascx.GetRedirectTargetUrl() in c:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14\TEMPLATE\CONTROLTEMPLATES\VariationsRootLanding.ascx:line 49    
 at ASP._controltemplates_variationsrootlanding_ascx.OnLoad(EventArgs e) in c:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14\TEMPLATE\CONTROLTEMPLATES\VariationsRootLanding.ascx:line 41    
 at System.Web.UI.Control.LoadRecursive()    
 at System.Web.UI.Control.LoadRecursive()    
 at System.Web.UI.Page.ProcessRequestMain(Boolean includeStagesBeforeAsyncPoint, Boolean includeStagesAfterAsyncPoint)

and while creating the variation label at the time i'm executing variation create hierarchies  the ULS gives me errors also 

look at this screenshot 



NOTE: after removing the variation label "in" Indonesian from variation labels i can open the site without any errors at the variation logs and also i can create other labels without any issues only in the languages ins't Indonesian

no i didn't because i can create other variation labels without any issues this error occurs only when creating a variation label with indonisian language 

Note : this issue occurred at two servers the same scenario :)
