Testing an Unshipped Language

This topic is part of Localizing an Unshipped Language.

You must test the Siebel application that uses the unshipped language. To some extent, interim testing can verify the tasks previously performed, prior to completing all of your localization tasks, as described in Completing Localization for an Unshipped Language. Retest again at appropriate points to verify all of the remaining localization steps.

To test the Siebel applications for the unshipped language

1. Restart the Siebel Server to have the new settings take effect.
2. Start the Application Object Manager for your unshipped language XXX (such as NOR for Norwegian) and test the application.

   If you copied elements from the base language YYY to use for the unshipped language XXX, then the application user interface still appears in language YYY, because you haven't yet performed the localization steps in Completing Localization for an Unshipped Language. The application splash screen, which is not localizable, always appears in the base language YYY. (For more information about nonlocalizable elements, see Defining the Scope of the Localization.)

   NOTE:  If you are using multilingual list of values (MLOV) columns, then make sure they are available in the appropriate values for language XXX.

3. Navigate to the Administration - Data screen, then the List of Values view. Select an LOV that is based on a column that can be MLOV-enabled.
