All sites search scope missing in the search box for non-English created sites

Sites created in a non-English language are missing the All sites and All people search scope in the search box in the upper right corner of each page. Only the This site: search scope appears in the drop down box.

To fix this, follow these steps (the example is for a site created in Dutch):


Go to the Site Collection level and choose Site Actions -> Site Settings -> Modify All Site Settings.
Click Search Scopes under the group Site Collection Administration.
Click New Display Group.
The title you enter is very important. For Dutch sites it needs to be exactly the text Vervolgkeuzelijst voor zoeken and nothing else. For other languages you'll need to find the exact translation in your language of the English default equivalent Search Dropdown.
At the Scopes group click both People and All Sites.
At the Default Scope group, click All sites.
You can rename at the SSP level the All Sites and People in your own language to have a consistent language interface for your end-users.
