About Multilingual Deployments

Upgrades: All upgrades.

Environments: All environments.

If you have multilingual deployments, you must install multilingual seed data (for example lists of views, responsibilities, or system preferences). To do this, you must add language packs to your database after you have installed the base language for your Siebel Database Server.

Install language packs before you perform a repository merge. (Add language packs to both the New Siebel Repository and the New Customer Repository so that they are synchronized.)

If you want to install new languages that are not included in your current deployment, wait until after the repository merge. This will improve merge performance.

See the Siebel Installation Guide for the operating system you are using for procedures on installing and configuring multiple Siebel language packs and importing a new language to your repository.

For a list of supported code pages and encoding strategies, see System Requirements and Supported Platforms on Siebel SupportWeb.
