About Language Deployment and Migration Installations

This topic is part of Installing and Deploying Siebel Business Applications with Multiple Languages.

For Siebel Enterprise Server, Siebel Web Server Extension (SWSE), Siebel Web Client, or Siebel Tools, when you perform a migration installation of the current release, files for all of the installed languages are automatically included. First, however, you must include all of these languages when you create the network image for the current release. For more information about the types of Siebel releases, see About Siebel CRM Releases.

If you plan to perform a migration installation of the current release, and you also want to add languages to your existing deployment, then you have two options for how to do this, subject to limitations:

• Add languages after installing the current release. The Siebel Enterprise Server and SWSE installers for the current release support adding languages to an existing installation of the same version, using an unattended installation method. You would perform this task after performing the migration installation tasks for these modules. Some limitations might apply to adding languages to your existing installed Siebel client software. For more information, see Limitations for Installing Additional Languages and Installing and Deploying Additional Languages.
• Add languages before installing the current release. Subject to limitations for your existing installed Siebel server and client software, it might be possible or desirable for you to install new languages before you install the current release. To determine if this option is possible for the currently installed software in your Siebel deployment and, if so, to determine what steps are required, see the documentation that applies to your currently installed Siebel software version for information about this version.

  For example, for Siebel CRM version 8.1.1.10 on Microsoft Windows, see Siebel Maintenance Release Guide, Version 8.1.1.10, and see Siebel Installation Guide for Microsoft Windows, version 8.1, Rev. D. For versions of Siebel Maintenance Release Guide for prior releases, see 880452.1 (Article ID) on My Oracle Support for version 8.1.1.x or see 1441523.1 (Article ID) for version 8.2.2.x. For versions of the Siebel Installation Guide for prior releases, see 1461732.1 (Article ID) on My Oracle Support.

For a list of the languages supported by Siebel Business Applications, see 1513102.1 (Article ID) on My Oracle Support.

NOTE:  Specific installation tasks and requirements might apply for any language pack that is newly supported and thus requires a minimum Siebel release of Siebel CRM version 15.0. For more information, see Importing Locale-Specific Data into the Siebel Repository.
