Importing a New Language to the Repository


After you successfully import your Siebel Repository in its primary (base) language, you may add additional languages to it.

By adding a new language to your repository, you populate rows of localized User Interface strings for repository objects, which allows Siebel eBusiness Applications to better display the UI in the new language.

Regardless of how many Siebel eBusiness Applications you are using (such as Siebel Sales, Siebel Service, and Siebel Marketing), you perform this step only once for each language you want to install.

CAUTION:  You cannot add secondary languages to the Siebel Database for a Siebel Enterprise Server unless you have already installed them on the associated Siebel Server.

To import a new language to your repository

  1. Follow Step 1 through Step 8 under Installing Multilingual Seed Data for the DB Server.
  2. On the Select Repository Operation screen, choose Add Language to an Existing Repository and click Next.
  3. On the Language Selection screen, specify the new language you are adding on top of your primary (base) language in the Siebel Repository and click Next.
  4. Repeat Step 8 through Step 11 of Importing the Siebel Repository for the DB Server.
  5. On the Import Repository Name screen, type the following values, and click Next:

    Import Repository Name. Accept the default name (Siebel Repository) or type another valid name.

    Localized Repository Name. Accept the default installation path and file name for this repository or type another valid installation path.

  6. Repeat Step 14 through Step 15 of Importing the Siebel Repository for the DB Server.

    NOTE:  To rerun the Upgrade Wizard at the point a program failed or a system error occurred, following importing the repository or following importing new languages to the repository, see the Upgrade Guide.
