Scenarios for Installing and Deploying Multiple Languages

This topic is part of About Installing and Deploying Siebel Business Applications with Multiple Languages.

Consider the following scenarios for installing and deploying multiple Siebel language packs:

• Install and deploy all of the languages that you require once. For customers who are installing and deploying languages shipped with the Siebel CRM base release, and who do not plan to deploy other languages at a later date. This option is easiest but might not be suitable for phased language deployments. For details on this scenario, see Installing and Deploying All Required Languages Once.
• Install all of the languages that you will require, but deploy some languages later. For customers who are installing and deploying languages shipped with the Siebel CRM base release, but who plan to deploy some of the installed languages at a later date. This option is recommended for phased language deployments. For details on this scenario, see Installing All Required Languages but Deploying Some Languages Later.
• Install and deploy additional languages in an existing deployment. For customers who are installing and deploying languages shipped with the Siebel CRM base release, and who plan to install and deploy additional languages at a later date. This option might be suitable for some phased language deployments. You can install languages at any time to meet changing business needs. However, deploying languages is easier if you include them when you first install and configure the Siebel CRM software. For details on this scenario, see Installing and Deploying Additional Languages.
