Installing and Deploying Siebel CRM with Multiple Languages

Multiple Siebel languages can be installed and deployed as part of Siebel CRM installation and configuration. Review this topic and related topics when planning multilingual deployments. Language installation is part of the installation procedure for each installable Siebel CRM module. The task of adding and deploying new languages is described for Siebel Server, Siebel Application Interface, Siebel Web Client, and Siebel Tools.

Scenarios for deploying Siebel CRM with more than one language are described in Scenarios for Installing and Deploying Multiple Languages.

See also General Requirements for Installing and Configuring Siebel Enterprise Components and other relevant topics.

For a list of the languages supported by Siebel CRM, see the Certifications tab on My Oracle Support. See also Siebel Global Deployment Guide, Siebel System Administration Guide, and other applicable documentation.

Note the following recommendations:

It is strongly recommended that you install and deploy, or at least install, all of the languages that you expect to require, on each physical server.
It is strongly recommended that you install the same set of language files on each physical server. Doing so helps ensure maximum compatibility between physical servers, so that the system can be reconfigured to meet ongoing requirements. Oracle only tests configurations in which the same set of language files are installed on each physical server that is used in a single Siebel Enterprise.

You can add languages to an existing installation of the same version of Siebel Enterprise Server, Siebel Application Interface, Siebel Web Client, or Siebel Tools by using either GUI or silent mode operation of the Siebel CRM installer.

After you install new languages, you must run the Siebel Management Console and perform the tasks to redeploy the Siebel Server. To do this, you create a new profile or clone the existing profile, delete the Siebel Server deployment item, and then deploy the Siebel Server with the new profile, specifying all of the languages to deploy. Finally, add the new languages to the Siebel Application Interface configuration. See also Scenarios for Installing and Deploying Multiple Languages and Limitations for Installing Additional Languages.

If you include multiple languages with a Siebel Enterprise Server installation, then you designate one language as the primary language to be used for server messages and logging. Typically, the same primary language is also used for the Siebel database, which cannot be changed after database installation.

If you install and deploy a new language in an existing installation, then you must add the language to the Siebel database and perform additional tasks using the Database Configuration Wizard, as described in About Language Deployment Tasks Using the Database Configuration Wizard.

Note: Additional tasks in Siebel Tools might be required in order to fully deploy a language you have added. For more information, see the workspaces administration topics in Using Siebel Tools.
