About The Language in Which Siebel Installers and Wizards Run

This topic is part of Planning Your Siebel Deployment.

When you start Siebel installer programs, the Siebel Image Creator utility, or the Siebel Database Configuration Wizard, the language in which the program runs (the user interface text) is determined by the language for the locale of your operating system, where this language and locale are supported for Siebel CRM and for the installer, utility, or wizard.

Installers for Siebel CRM server modules and client modules are based on Oracle Universal Installer and run in the current language corresponding to the regional and language options settings on the server or client computer, where the current language is one of the following: U.S. English, French, German, Italian, Brazilian Portuguese, Spanish, Japanese, Korean, Chinese Simplified, or Chinese Traditional. For any other current language setting, the installer runs in U.S. English.

Siebel Image Creator and the Siebel Database Configuration Wizard also use the current language corresponding to the regional and language options setting. The programs can run in all of the languages corresponding to the available Siebel language packs, except Arabic, Hebrew, Polish, Russian, Thai, or Turkish. If the current language is one of these or any language not supported for Siebel CRM, then the program runs in U.S. English.

For the Siebel installers, Database Configuration Wizard, and Siebel Image Creator, in order to change the user interface language, you must change the current operating system language and locale. Make sure that the language setting under the regional option of your operating system is set to the desired choice of your language. The language that you select must be one of those supported for Siebel CRM, as described earlier.

For information about installing language packs for Siebel CRM, see the applicable installation task topic and see Installing and Deploying Siebel CRM with Multiple Languages.
