Changing languages in SAP

Hi,
I have an implementation of SAP B1 UK edition which is being used in our Thai Subsidiary. They need to input some business partners in Thai language.
In Systems Administration => Company details I have enabled multi language support however when I select a BP I cannot change the language to Thai (it is not a default) and I do not know how to define it as a new language.
Is there any way to do this?
Thanks
Dan

hi dan,
In Main Menu choose Business Partners --> Business Partner Master Data --> General Tab
Language
Choose the language of the business partner.
The language defined for the company is displayed by default (General Settings --> Display tab).
If you want to print documents in the local language of a business partner located abroad, select the required language from the list.
Before you print documents for foreign business partners, ensure that the foreign language fields have been translated.
This field is displayed only if Multi-Language Support is selected on the Basic Initialization tab in Company Details.

Unable to change language for SAP BW Report Iview

Dear all
We are currently rolling out BW Web Templates can be displayed in both EN and MS languages. The language can be changed via the URL that we display, e.g.
For English Language:
http://<hostname>:<port>/sap/bw/BEx?SAP-LANGUAGE=EN&cmd=ldoc&template_id=ZTEST
For Malay Language :
http://<hostname>:<port>/sap/bw/BEx?SAP-LANGUAGE=7&cmd=ldoc&template_id=ZTEST
We have published these templates into Ent. Portal 6 using SAP BW Report Iview, but unfortunately we cannot view the report in the Malay language (SAP-LANGUAGE=7), even though we have inserted the command SAP-LANGUAGE=7 in the SAP BW Report Iview query string. All the reports, although defaulted to SAP-LANGUAGE=7 displays in English. We also tried to set the language settings for the Iview, but there are no language 7 or MS in the Iview. It can only be defaulted to the Portals language, which is English.
Note that the reports can be viewed in the different languages if we using the URL separately outside of Portal, and also within BW Bex Analyzer itself. Only the Portal doesnt allow us to view the reports in MS language.
Can someone help us on this matter? All helps really appreciated. Thanks a lot.

Hi Chris,
That's a bit odd indeed. If I understand your question correctly, you do get the BW reports in the correct language (either English or Malay) using the url's in your post but not when using them within a standard BW report iView?
The language setting for the iView has, unfortunately, nothing to do with the language for the content itself but can you tell me what the requested URL is for both Reports?
The BW Report iView is based on the Application Integration Component that generates the URL based on the paramaters you provide in the BW report iView.The following template is being used: <iView[PORTAl_URL]>?System=<System[url_Encode]>&Report=<Report>&DynamicParameter=<DynamicParameter[url_Encode]>. I could be that the generation of the URL fails due to the 7 (don't know why, just a gut feeling because it's the only thing that's different between those urls). You could try to use create an iView based on the Application Integrator instead (some more control over the URL template) but first you need to check whether the URL generated by the iView is correct.
Cheers!

Change language in WebReport

Hi!
When we run a WebTemplate there is no possibility to select a language during log on. System takes the language out of user master data. What we need is the possibility to change language as one user should have possibility to view a report in english and german.
any ideas? for us it seems like there is no way to do that.
we already tried "sap-language=EN&bsplanguage=EN" but this doesn´t help! When starting the template this is even not part of the URL. wer are on BI 7.0 SP 15.
regards
Gunter

solved the problem! just add "&language=DE" and report is shown in german!

Change language after load initial data (ME 5.2)

Hello,
we have an ME system installed with german language settings in the Netweaver config tool. We would like to change this english. I found in the installation guide the following remark:
The u2013Duser.country and u2013Duser.language values must be set to the single, supported language
for the SAP ME installation and cannot be modified after initial data has been loaded in SAP ME in
the Loading Initial Data section below. For more information, see your SAP ME consultant.
Can you tell the tables which need to be changed?

Kai

Hi,

Problem: Changing Language for Web Dynpro Java within NW Portal (i18n)

Hi Experts out there,
I hope all you had a nice Christmas and a big New Years Eve :)!!!
i got a challenge for you about WD Java and internationalization (i18n)
Here is the scenario:
We are using a SAP NetWeaver Portal 7.0 and my task is to implement some smaller Web Dynpro Applications.
These Applications must be i18n conform, so i just created (according to the corresponding WD Java tutorial) some ".xlf" files.
Okay...Everything is working fine. The user can log at the portal and the application is displayed in his language, which is "english" or "german". (the application is just a simple form)
So far so good...Now here comes the point where it's getting tricky...
When the user wants to change his assigned language (of the portal user) he can use the "personalize" button in the Masthead (-> change portal language). All the portal content should now be displayed in his new chosen language.
For example the user is logged into the portal with "german" as portal language and now changes his languages settings into "english". After this everything in the portal (navigation, portal iViews ) is displayed in the changed language (from english into german) ...
BUT: my Web Dynpro Java Application stays as the original languages setting was. That means the whole portal is now english, but my WD Java Appl. stays german .
Only if the user logs of and logs in again, the WD Java Appl. is displayed in the corresponding portal language...
VERY Strange?!?!
Can anybody give me a hint how to solve this problem?
I guess i have to re-initiate the Web Dynpro Application some how ...(like killing the application and restarting it ...) but is just a "weak guess"...
Any Help / Hint is more than welcome !!!
Cheers
Stefan

Hi Stefan,
This correct see SAP Note [947081|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/947081]
If the locale for the Web Dynpro iView is changed in the portal (through portal personalization), this is not reflected in the running login session. The user needs to logoff and login again, in order to see the locale change in the Web Dynpro iView.

Leo

What key(s) do i type to change language from english to other? i am writing s story in dual languages. i was told to click command and space bar together but it is not working.

what key(s) do it type to change language from english to other? i am writing a story in dual languages. I was told to click command and space bar together but it is not working.

Command Spacebar opens Spotlight as you have found out. If you want to change languages you need to say what app you are using to write the story in, I'm guessing you are using Pages or MS Word. If that's the case
Pages: Open Inspector - Click the T tab - Click Language and change your language.
MS Word: Tools Menu - Language - Choose your language.

How to reload the screen when changing languages in JavaFX 2?

I'm beginner with javaFX and i need to change language of the screen. but i have no idea how to reload the screen when the language was changed. The application have a button where have the language available. I want just refresh screen when the user change language.
Here is the start method to show the stage.
    @Override
    public void start(Stage stage) throws Exception
        this.stage = stage;
        Locale locale = Locale.getDefault();
        ResourceBundle rb = ResourceBundle.getBundle("resources/Label",locale);
        loader = new FXMLLoader(getClass().getResource("FXMLDocument.fxml"),rb);
        root = (Parent)loader.load();
        FXMLDocumentController controller = (FXMLDocumentController) loader.getController();
        controller.setMain(this);
        scene = new Scene(root);
        stage.setScene(scene);
        stage.show();
here is the function to change the language(in the same class with start function),the rb is the new ResourceBundle:
    public void refresh(ResourceBundle rb)
          //change the language here
1. I don't want to use the resourceBundle to get value in resource file and set label in scene one by one.like following:
this.btnLabel.setText(rb.getString(key.test));
2. I don't want to reload the scene,like following:
    public void refresh(ResourceBundle rb)
         try
            loader = new FXMLLoader(getClass().getResource("FXMLDocument.fxml"),rb);
            root = (Parent)loader.load();
            scene.setRoot(root);
            FXMLDocumentController controller = (FXMLDocumentController) loader.getController();
            controller.setMain(this);
        catch(Exception err)
            err.printStackTrace();
So do we have a solution to just set the resourceBundle and reload the scene easier?
Thanks and best regards!

Your option 2 (reload the FXML for the scene using the new resource bundle as a parameter), is the way this would normally be done and what I would recommend.
Failing that, you could use option 1 of individually resetting the label text of labeled items (I don't really recommend this).
Why don't you want to use option 2?
Perhaps it is because there is some internal state of the UI which differs from the initial state when the the UI is first loaded (e.g. user has typed text in a text field and you want to preserve that). If that's the case you will need to either go with your option 1 of individually resetting the label text of labeled items, or implement something which preserves the UI state and user data by saving it in memory or to disk, reloading the UI via the FXMLLoader (essentially your option 2), then restoring the UI state and user data to what it was before the language change. Preserving and restoring the modified state seems complicated to me if you have a lot of state, so I wouldn't really advise this approach unless you really needed it.

I changed language from EN-GB to EN-US but my keyboard is still British (only when using FF). How can I change it to EN-US? in English

I changed language (based on an answer in this forum) from EN-GB to EN-US but my keyboard is still British (only when using FF). How can I change it to EN-US?
Should I just export my bookmarks, uninstall and reinstall the proper version? That may just be shorter than anything else.

GREAT!. Thanks a lot for educating me. There seem to be a million things we have to learn about our computers and when we run into them the first time they seem insurmountable. You pointed me to the solution. Thanks again. Ben

Reg: If changes done in SAP BO Analysis office, then Changes can be done in SAP BW in respective targets. But, is it possible to do the same changes in SAP ECC? How?

Hello Everyone,
If any changes are done in SAP BO Analysis office, then the change can be done in the SAP BW in the respective Targets.
But how can we do the changes in the SAP ECC ? Is it possible to do the changes in the tables ?
Any answer is appreciable
Regards,
Karteek

We are using the "Input ready Bex query", in order to modify the values in "BO Analysis office".
ECC               BI               BO Analysis office
1 ------------->   1   ---------->         1   ------
                                                                        |
                                                                        | (Now Data is changed in Analysis office from 1 to 2)
                                                                        |
(?) <--------------   2 <----------         2 <-----
(Will it be updated in ECC)
(Diagram Explanation)
From ECC we can load the data (Consider Value-1) to SAP BI and from SAP BI we can load the data to BO analysis office.
So, now if we change the data in BO Analysis office (Value-1 changed to Value-2)..
Now the data is changed in SAP BI to Value-2.
So what about the data in ECC ? Whether it is changed or not?
Please provide us a real time business Scenario..
Thanks,

How do I change my default "SAP Working Directory" to the one I wish ?

Hello Gurus,
How do I change my default "SAP Working Directory" to the one I wish ?
At the moment default SAP Working Directory to set to the following directory.
"C:\Documents and Settings\T51273\SapWorkDir"
So, when ever I try to download a Report/Table Contents/Spool Request, SAP prompts me to save in the above SAP Working Directory, which is "C:\Documents and Settings\T51273\SapWorkDir". Ofcourse I can change the folder in the dialogue box, but I don't want to change the folder each and every time I download a report from SAP.
I wish to change my default "SAP Working Directory" to "My Documents" Folder. So that from next time,
if ever I try to download a Report/Table Contents/Spool Request, SAP should prompt "My Documents" Folder. That way I don't have to change the folder at the time of saving.
Full Points are assigned for an answer that works...
Thank You,
Nag.

Hello,
A short question about transaction SO21:
Is this a local setting, per GUI?
Or does this affect all users?
I have a problem opening an attachment (Mandates).
SAP wants to save it to C:\Windows\System32\
I see that is stated at SO21.
If I change that to another (accessable) location, does that affect the opening of the attachment?
Thanks!

Need help On Triggers/Change pointers in SAP

Hi Experts,
I Need help On Triggers/Change pointers in SAP.
I have a requirement as soon as an entry is created in one of the Standard SAP table it should check against my Ztable and update and create the corresponding entry in another Ztable.
Can some one help me out on this with the syntax and how to do it

Hi,
Check whether you have any enhancement option (BADI, user exit, Customer enhancement etc) in the program which is used to save the data in the SAP standard table. If so, then try to write your code in that appropriate enhancement.

Changing Language in 6120

Hi all
I am having trouble with changing language in 6120.
Usually, I am use to change language by pressing the # key when i write some thing... BUT the thing is that in 6120, it will change the language only to the language you choose.
E.G main language is English, I write a URL in english that i want to get to, now, i am in the site and wants to write in Hebrew, However, the options of changing language by pressing on # key is only 123, abc, ABC but not Hebrew, even when i have Hebrew fonts installed. thus, i need to go to the language section, choose Main language as Hebrew, go back to the site and write in hebrew ... cant i do it just with the # key ?! so i will have 123, abc, ABC, אבג ... BTW, i had this option in my old 6230i

In July of this year, Apple made a change to the iTunes store which essentially makes this impossible (for now). Until that time, there was a workaround you could use as per their Knowledgebase which would let you set the language of the iTunes Store back to English, regardless of what country your iTunes account was based in.
There have been repeated attempts from the user community to get Apple to acknowledge and address this issue, but the customer service staff have thusfar only referred to the KB article, which doesn't actually help. For now, your only option is to select a different country's store by selecting the flag icon/button on the lower right corner of the iTunes store and reading about applications or music in another store...of course, this actually will log out out of your itunes store account, which means you can't purchase anything, and as soon as you sign back in, you will be forced to the language of the country your account is based in.
I find this policy of Apple's to be truly repugnant and counter everything they've strived to stand for - but it seems it's here to stay, as they won't acknowledge nor fix it.
Apple's staff only point to:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2242
This will not fix the problem we've all been having since July.

Change language in Acrobat XI Pro - It does not work

I installed Acrobat XI Pro using the Adobe Application Manager (AAM) on Windows 7, English. I am on a Creative Cloud subscription, so i have no .exe file to install from.
Acrobat XI Pro defaults the Application Language to English when installing from AAM since Windows is an English version. I want Acrobat XI Pro in Swedish language.
If i go to Acrobat's Preferences > Language and change the Application Language from English to "Choose at application startup" i never get the dialog that should provide me with the option to change language when i re-launch Acrobat XI Pro. If i hold down Shift-Ctrl when launching Acrobat XI Pro i don't get that dialog either.
I see the same issue on three computers, two with Win 7 and one with Win 8. Both OS versions are English.
So, how do i change the Application Language from English to Swedish?
/Roger

In case anyone else run into the same issue, here is the solution:
1. Add remove programs -> Select Acrobat
2. Then click on Change button present next to Uninstall option. Acrobat setup dialog will be launched.
3. Now select Modify option in Acrobat setup dialog
4. In the dropdown list select View Adobe PDF
5. Select the desired language support
6. Install the required language packs
When i did, i got the dialog that let me change the language next time i launched Acrobat XI.
Special thanks goes to Rohit from Adobe!

Firefox freeze whenever tired to change language input

Hi. Whenever I tried to change language input to enter other languages Firefox freeze (program not responding).
It happens as soon as I hit alt+shift or when I click language bar to select other language.
It also happens with several languages (that I tested, might be all), and I tried various input software/mode including windows default, all freeze. Reset Firefox under help does not work either.
This issue occur with Firefox and Chrome, but not IE... Might not be Firefox problem as it happen w Chrome, but and ideas please? Thanks.
J
Edit:
* regedit might be changed, but do not believe touched internet setting.
* I can enter foreign language as long as I set that language to default, and do not change to other language in the language bar. Currently I am using foreign language input software as default, and switch to English input '''within '''that software.

Hi. karaoke I am not sure if its the same issue. The crash at language switch on my computer was due to the IME for Eastern Language Banks (Language option -> Detail under text services and input languages -> Properties -> reset/untick auto learn).
If you are not using Eastern Language IME... I am sure others here have more experience and can better help you. =)
