This section describes known limitations associated with multi-language support.
Language Support for the Web Conferencing Document Converter
Character Sets for Infrastructure and Information Store Databases
During installation, the product language selection list determines which languages are installed. Oracle Corporation recommends that you choose the same languages for the infrastructure that you choose for the middle tier. Note that languages cannot be added or removed after installation.
Note: Reinstalling a language that is already installed corrupts the repository. If, for example, the single sign-on server already supports Japanese, do not reinstall this language. |
Only Internet Explorer 5.5 and above support bidirectional Arabic language user interfaces on Oracle Collaboration Suite.
To enable language support for the Web Conferencing Document Converter, you must enable the corresponding language option in Microsoft Office. Options can be set by selecting:
Start > Programs > Microsoft Office Tools > Microsoft Office Language Options
Under Oracle Web Conferencing Configuration, the translation of Host Name should refer to a host machine rather than a host person.
Oracle Corporation recommends using Unicode UTF8 as the database character set for the Oracle Collaboration Suite infrastructure and information store. Using Unicode ensures that different languages and encodings are handled properly in a global collaboration environment. Unicode UTF8 is installed by default in the infrastructure and information storage databases.
Other character sets are supported when you upgrade existing infrastructure and storage databases to Oracle Collaboration Suite Release 2. Another supported option for the information store is to create a custom database that uses a specific character set.
Oracle Collaboration Suite supports international non-ASCII user IDs with certain exceptions:
Neither Oracle Workflow nor Oracle Files WebDAV (Web Folders) supports international user IDs.
The mail administration Web interface cannot be used to create mail accounts for international user IDs. Instead, use the command-line tool oesucr
as follows:
Prepare the user record file nonascii.txt
using UTF-8 encoding:
mail=testuser1@us.oracle.com
orclmailquota=400000000
baseuserdn=cn=[non-ascii userid here],cn=users,o=oracle,dc=com
Execute oesucr
:
oesucr nonascii.txt -encoding=UTF-8
