Localization

Localization includes:

• Translating text strings in the user interface
• Modifying the position, height, and width of controls
• Modifying images, including the direction of images (left to right or right to left)

Siebel eBusiness Applications are localized as required by the Siebel customer base. Local language releases are translated and elements of the user interface, including buttons, error messages, reports, online help, and log files, are configured to meet local requirements. An example of this is shown in Figure 1.

The features that make the product internationalized are part of the software architecture; they do not require a special version of the product.
