Creating Language Subdirectories and Copying Language-Specific Files for an Unshipped Language on the Siebel Application Interface

This topic is part of Creating New Language Subdirectories and Copying Language-Specific Files.

Use the following procedure to create language subdirectories and copy language-specific files for an unshipped language on the Siebel Application Interface. Note the following:

  • On Windows, the directories mentioned in this procedure are in SIEBEL_AI_ROOT\applicationcontainer_external\siebelwebroot.

  • On UNIX, the directories are in SIEBEL_AI_ROOT/applicationcontainer_external/siebelwebroot.

For more information about these directories, see Siebel Installation Guide.

To create language subdirectories and copy language-specific files for an unshipped language on the Siebel Application Interface

  1. On the Siebel Application Interface computer or operating system instance, do one of the following in the directory SIEBEL_AI_ROOT:

    • (Windows) Create a new language subdirectory XXX under applicationcontainer_external\siebelwebroot. Then copy the directory applicationcontainer_external\siebelwebroot\YYY\help to applicationcontainer_external\siebelwebroot\XXX.

    • (UNIX) Create a new language subdirectory XXX under applicationcontainer_external/siebelwebroot. Then copy the directory applicationcontainer_external/siebelwebroot/YYY/help to applicationcontainer_external/siebelwebroot/XXX.

    Update the files for language XXX for the unshipped language you are localizing (such as NOR, for Norwegian), as appropriate for your deployment.

  2. Do one of the following:

    • (Windows) In applicationcontainer_external\siebelwebroot\scripts, copy the file swemessages_yyy.js (in the same directory) and rename the copy swemessages_xxx.js, such as swemessages_nor.js for Norwegian.

    • (UNIX) In applicationcontainer_external/siebelwebroot/scripts, copy the file swemessages_yyy.js (in the same directory) and rename the copy swemessages_xxx.js, such as swemessages_nor.js for Norwegian.

    Note: After completing the localization tasks, you must recopy the file swemessages_yyy.js after each time that you install a new Siebel CRM release, and then rename the file again, as described, to keep your localized product up to date. For more information about installing Siebel CRM, see Siebel Installation Guide.

  3. Similar to what you did in Step 2, identify any other language-specific files, then copy the files and rename the copies to refer to new language XXX instead of existing language YYY.

  4. In applicationcontainer_external\conf (Windows) or applicationcontainer_external/conf (UNIX), edit the file server.xml. Add entries for each unshipped language, as follows:

    ...
<Context docBase="${catalina.base}/siebelwebroot/<lang>" path="/<lang>" />
<Context docBase="${catalina.base}/siebelwebroot/<lang>" path="/<context_name>/<lang>" />
...

    For example, you might add the following entries to support Norwegian:

    ...
<Context docBase="${catalina.base}/siebelwebroot/nor" path="/nor" />
<Context docBase="${catalina.base}/siebelwebroot/nor" path="/siebel/nor" />
...
