OM - Resource Language Code Parameter

This topic is part of About Parameters for Language and Locale.

The OM - Resource Language Code parameter (alias ResourceLanguage) can optionally be set to a different language than the Language Code parameter in order to specify the resource language.

The resource language determines which language-specific directories from the product installation will be used during runtime operation for resource libraries such as DLL files. These resource libraries determine the language in which system and error messages are displayed and the language in which server log file messages are written.

Resource library files are provided for all of the languages shipped with Siebel Business Applications. These files cannot be localized into any other unshipped languages.

For some multilingual deployments, it might be useful, or necessary, to set the resource language to a different value than the Language Code parameter. For example, you might want all of the global users to view MLOV and other seed data in the language determined by Language Code. However, you might choose to set the resource language to a single language familiar to your administrators.

Where Language Code is set to an unshipped language, you must use the resource libraries for a language provided for Siebel Business Applications. In this case, you can set OM - Resource Language Code to specify which language's resource libraries to use. For example, where Language Code is set to the unshipped language NOR (Norwegian), you might set OM - Resource Language to DEU (German). For details, see Localizing an Unshipped Language.

NOTE:  On the Siebel Mobile Web Client, the equivalent parameter is the ResourceLanguage parameter in the [Siebel] section of the configuration file.
