How Siebel Runs Multilingual Reports

Siebel CRM uses a single object manager to run reports that include multiple languages. It does the following work:

  • Allows you to configure reports for a specific locale.

  • Makes sure a report runs for a record that includes a locale preference. For example, to make sure Siebel CRM creates a Quote report according to the language preference that the quote record specifies.

  • Allows the user to set a default locale preference for the reports that this user runs.

  • Allows the user to override the default locale values when running reports.

  • Uses the default locale settings of the object manager that Siebel CRM uses for the user session.

Typically, you manage how Siebel CRM does report translations. A third-party typically does the actual translation.
