Localizing an Unshipped Language

This topic describes how to localize an unshipped language.

In general, you perform the localization tasks described here before you perform other localization tasks described in this chapter. After performing the tasks described here, review your remaining localization needs for all of the files or data associated with an unshipped language.

An example of an unshipped language, Norwegian (NOR), is used throughout this topic.

NOTE:  The tasks described here apply to the current release, Siebel Innovation Pack 2017. In general, tasks are performed after, or in conjunction with, the installation or migration tasks described in Siebel Installation Guide for the operating system you are using, and other tasks for preparing to use Siebel Business Applications. Although some localized elements for an unshipped language migrate as part of a migration installation from a previous release, the customer must verify the migration of all localized elements for unshipped languages, and might need to migrate certain elements manually. Note that some of the directories and files mentioned in this chapter have been reorganized relative to prior releases.

NOTE:  The process of localizing an unshipped language is considered to be customer configuration. Such configuration changes are not upgraded as part of the upgrade process described in Siebel Database Upgrade Guide.
