Siebel Global Deployment Guide > Configuring Global Deployments > About Application-Wide DataThis topic describes some of the types of application-wide data that need to be considered for global deployments of Siebel Business Applications. Many of these types of data provide multilingual support in the standard product; additional examples include product catalogs, task-based UI, and time zone translations. Sales CyclesSales cycle stages can be localized into different languages by configuring them according the global data approach described in Setting Up Global Data.

For information about currency administration, including exchange rates and currency conversion, see Siebel Applications Administration Guide.

For information about how to perform this procedure, see Siebel Applications Administration Guide. TemplatesThere are many templates to consider when planning a global deployment.

Each user can specify a default correspondence template; users can choose the appropriate template for their locale. For more information about templates for email or fax, see Siebel Email Administration Guide. NOTE: You can have the language tagged in the template in the appropriate language or locale field. Because the Application Object Manager is multilingual, you can write a single workflow rule, then change the search specification on the language or locale of that template. LiteratureThe items that are included in the Literature tab can be in any language. For information about adding items to the Literature tab, see Siebel Applications Administration Guide.
