Activating Languages

Oracle CRM On Demand is available in many languages. All default text fields supplied with the product, such as fields and picklist values, along with online help and tutorials are shown in the available languages.

However, when you customize fields or picklist values, you must manually enter the equivalents in other languages, if you want those to appear in their translated versions. Otherwise, they appear in the original language in blue text with brackets around them, regardless of the language you selected.

Initially, the only active language is the one that was selected as the company default language when your company signed up for Oracle CRM On Demand.

To make the language choices available to your users, you must activate them.

Before you begin. To perform this procedure, your role must include the Manage Company privilege.

To activate languages

1. In the upper right corner of any page, click the Admin global link.
2. In the Company Administration section, click the Company Administration link.
3. In the Company Profile section, click the Languages link.
4. In the Active column, select the languages you want to make available to your employees.

   NOTE: The formats for displaying dates, times, and currency are determined by other settings, not the Language setting.

5. Save the record.
