Limitations for Installing Additional Languages

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

Although it is strongly recommended to install all of the languages that you might require (whether or not you initially deploy them all), you can also add languages to an existing installation by using the installer for the current release. However, several limitations apply.

NOTE:  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 might be able to install the languages before you install the current release. For more information, see About Language Deployment and Migration Installations.

For Siebel Enterprise Server, SWSE, Siebel Web Client, and Siebel Tools, the limitations for installing additional languages for the current release are as follows:

• You can install additional languages for existing installations by using the installers of the same version only. For example, for the current release, you can install the software as a new installation or as a migration installation, then later use the same installers to add languages.
• You can add languages to the current release by running the installer in unattended mode (silent mode) only, using response files that you have prepared for this purpose. You cannot add languages by running the installer in GUI mode.
• You cannot generate response files for an operation to add languages. You must use an edited copy of one of the response files that are provided for Siebel Enterprise Server, SWSE, Siebel Web Client, or Siebel Tools. For the location of these response files, see Installing and Deploying Additional Languages.
• You cannot add languages as part of performing a migration installation of the current release. However, you can add languages after the migration installation.
• You cannot add languages to an earlier version of the installed software by using the installers for the current release. Conversely, you cannot use the installers for any earlier release to add languages to an installation of the current release.
• Before you install additional languages, you must uninstall any Siebel Patchset release that you have installed onto the current release. Reinstall the Siebel Patchset onto the current release after completing the steps to add the languages.
