Language and Locale Requirements

This topic is part of Requirements for Installing and Configuring the Siebel Server.

Make sure that you have the appropriate locales installed on the computers on which you intend to deploy Siebel Server. Siebel log and configuration files use UTF-8 with Byte Order Mark as the default encoding. If these files contain any non-ASCII characters, then proper viewing and editing requires a UTF-8 locale.

For more information about supported locales, see the Certifications tab on My Oracle Support.

The locale can affect how dates and times are displayed. For more information, see Siebel Global Deployment Guide.

Note: (UNIX) Make sure that the locale that you are using matches the locale set at your operating system level. For details, see Specifying the Locale for Your UNIX Operating System.
