Localization Tier Level Support for Localizations and Supported Translations

Introduction
Oracle HCM Cloud is designed to be used both globally and locally. To the end user, the system can
be regarded as a local system, while on a higher level; all these local solutions are part of an integral,
single instance and are a Global solution to the organization. Configuration setup in HCM Cloud can
accommodate customers' worldwide country requirements.

Oracle has three tiers of support for country localizations, Tier 1, Tier 2 and Tier 3. This white paper
focuses on the three tiers to show what is delivered for each tier and which countries we currently
support for the tier. If the country is not listed in the Tier lists, the country requirements can still be
implemented with the Global products functionality.

In addition this paper also lists the languages the Fusion Applications user interface and help text are
available in.

localization capabilities that are also upgrade safe. The following functionalities are supported through
our global products:

Localization Tier Classification
Oracle HCM Cloud supports at different levels country specific requirements through our Localizations. The
following tiers are used to further detail the level of localization support provided out of the box. Oracle Fusion
HCM Cloud is architected to support over 200 localizations.

Tier 1 Support
Tier 1 support delivers pre-seeded functionality that can be configured in the Fusion HCM Cloud standard
global architecture for a particular country. With Tier 1, Oracle has delivered localized lookup values,
validation of data formats and content, hidden attributes that are not applicable for a country and made other
attributes mandatory in order to meet local statutory, business and cultural requirements. In Tier 1 Support
Oracle addresses local data such as:

» Name
» Address
» National Identifiers
» Person and Employment data
Below is an example of the pre-seeded Name style for Egypt. As well it shows the ability to enter a local
name. Local names are in a language other than the Global-Name Language that your company has enabled
and selected to use for the entry of person names.
