Sitecore PowerShell Script - Creating Multiple Language Versions

We have received request for creating multiple language versions for multiple items. Manually creating language version for each item is cumbersome task. Also we require to delete the existing language versions. To solve this problem we came up with this PowerShell script where we need to specify item path and language versions we need to create. and script will perform the task First script will delete all the existing item versions and then create new item versions specified.

Script

function LanguageVersionsOperations($LanguageItemInfo)
{
	#Spliting the Input
	$SplitDetails=$LanguageItemInfo.Split(";")
	
	#Path of the item
	$itemPath=$SplitDetails[0]
	
	#Item Details from Get-Item  method
	$itemGetInfo= Get-Item $itemPath

	#Deleting All versions except English
	foreach ($version in $itemGetInfo.Versions.GetVersions($true))
	{
        if ($version.Language -ne "en")
		{
			Remove-ItemVersion $version
			Write-Host $version.DisplayName " - " $version.ID " - " $version.Language "- deleted"
		}
	}  
	
	#Adding Versions 
	for($i = 1; $i -lt $SplitDetails.Length; $i++)
	{	    	    
		$itemInfo = Get-Item $itemPath  | Add-ItemLanguage -Language "en" -TargetLanguage $SplitDetails[$i] -IfExist OverwriteLatest
		Write-Host $itemInfo.DisplayName " - " $itemInfo.ID " - " $SplitDetails[$i]  "- added"				
	}
}


$Items ="master:\sitecore\content\Home\TestItem1;en-US;en-CA;fr-CA;zh-CN;en-AU",
	"master:\sitecore\content\Home\TestItem2;en-US;en-CA;fr-CA;en-IN;es-AR",
	"master:\sitecore\content\Home\TestItem3;en-US;en-CA;fr-CA;en-IN;es-AR",
	"master:\sitecore\content\Home\TestItem4;en-US;en-CA;fr-CA;zh-CN;en-AU"	



foreach ($Item in $Items)
{
	Write-Host "Start Operation $((Get-Date).ToString())"
	LanguageVersionsOperations $Item
	Write-Host "End Operation $((Get-Date).ToString())"

}
