Creating accounts with names in two languages

Susanne Horsburgh

My organisation is based in the UK, but our work, most colleagues and some supporters are in Israel. 

We are only starting to use eTap.

We want to record some business sponsors on the database, whose names are in Hebrew or Arabic. A transliteration of the name into Roman script exists, but the preference is to record the Hebrew/Arabic name too. I'm trying to figure out how best to do so. My Israeli colleagues may want to correspond in Hebrew/Arabic after all.


One option I had considered is to Roman script version of the name for the Account name and then create a new persona for Hebrew and Arabic respectively.


Another option might be UDFs for alternate names in those languages.


If anyone here had to deal with a similar scenario, I'd be interested to hear.


Thank you!
