A multilingual list of values (MLOV) is a type of list of values that allows you to display values in the natural language that the user uses to communicate. It allows a user who works in a particular language to get values for another language.

Siebel CRM displays an MLOV in a static list. To configure an MLOV for a predefined static list, the list must meet the following requirements:

• It must be bounded.
• It must not be hierarchical.

For more information about the active language, see Siebel Global Deployment Guide. For more information about list of value fields, see Siebel Applications Administration Guide.
