Thailand Localization 25.4.0.0 Release Notes
New Features and Enhancements
Country | Feature or Product Area | Description |
Thailand | Dual Language Support | Dual-language interfaces are supported for names (Admin, Teachers, Parents, Contacts, and Students), the school name, terms, and term bins. Field labels for attributes created in alternate languages dynamically change based on locale preferences. If English is configured as the preferred language in the default Locale Preference, the alternate language label displays as Name in Thai, and vice versa. Additionally, the Teachers' portal supports Thai localization with dual-language support. |
Resolved Issues
Tickets | Country | Description | Resolution |
|---|---|---|---|
LOC-1475 | Thailand/ Saudi Arabia | PS SIS - Remove the mandatory field values from the Students, Staff, and Contacts page in the Saudi Arabic & and Thai localization package | When the application is launched in a customer instance and data is imported using the Data Import Manager or Quick Import, users must complete all mandatory fields in order to edit the demographic page. This requirement can complicate the implementation process. To simplify this, all non-essential required fields have been removed from the Student, Staff, and Contact pages—retaining only core mandatory fields such as Last Name. Administrators can enforce additional required fields later by configuring data validation rules as needed. |
Known Issues
Reference | Issue Description |

PSF-117403 | Data for fields such as lineTwo, addressLine4, and addressLine5 is not saved in the PersonAddress table if the fields for street, city, state, country, and postal code are left empty. However, if any information is provided in the street, city, state, country, or postal code fields, the data is successfully saved. |
PSF-105264 | The school selection drop-down list does not support displaying school names in an alternate language. |

PowerSchool Components
Localization version 25.4.0.0 includes the localized packages for Thailand and Saudi Arabia and depends on PowerSchool SIS Core version 24.9.0.0 or higher. Customers will need to request Cloudops install either the Thailand Localization package or the Saudi Arabia Localization package along with PowerSchool SIS Core version 24.9.0.0 or higher.
The Thailand Localization package version 25.4.0.0 is automatically installed when 'Thailand' is selected from the country dropdown list and 'Thailand Common' is chosen from the state/province dropdown during the PowerSchool SIS Core version 25.4.0.0 installation.
If a customer has already installed the Thai Localization package version 24.7.0.0, they cannot upgrade selectively to PS SIS Core version 24.9.0.0 or higher without upgrading to the Thai Localization package version 24.9.0.0 or higher.
The Saudi Arabia Localization Package version 25.4.0.0 is automatically installed when 'Saudi Arabia' is selected from the country dropdown list and 'Saudi Arabia Common' is chosen from the state/province dropdown during PowerSchool SIS Core version 25.4.0.0 installation.
If the customer is currently using the standard PowerSchool Core version (without localization enhancements) and wishes not to install the Localization package version 24.9.0.0 or higher, they must inform Cloudops in their request. This will ensure that Cloudops does not select Saudi Arabia/ Thailand from the country dropdown list during installation.
If a customer plans to upgrade only to PS SIS Core 24.9.0.0 or higher and not to Localization 24.9.0.0 or higher, they should avoid selecting Thailand or Saudi Arabia as the country during the initial installation. However, if they later decide to upgrade to the Localization package, they can run the Localization installer at that time, select Thailand or Saudi Arabia as the country, and the installer will then install the appropriate localizations for the selected countries.
