How SAP supports different languages

Hi All,
   I need documentation on How SAP interacts with other languages i.e. How SAP supports other languages and what is the role of technical people and also functional people to maintain the different languages.
Thanks & Regards,
Amit Suryawanshi.

Hi,
Internationalization is available in SAP.
The goal of Internationalization is to provide the technical foundation for enabling programs to support multiple scripts and languages without redesign or modification. Once a user has selected a logon language, all programs must transparently alter their run-time behavior to meet the expectations of the user. Internationalization furthers generic programming, because hard-encoded search strings, error messages, etc. may work in one language, but not in another.
Internationalization interacts with every face of the system: logon language, language input, menu texts, sorting, character conversion, printing, data transfer - simply put, it is the technical underpinning of global business software.
If a system or application can support any language, then it is fully internationalized; if it only supports a limited set of languages, then  it is partially internationalized. SAP offers full internationalization by supporting Unicode code page technology.
I hope the following link will help you....

  • How to support different language and print in non-english language from AS

    I want to print different language that users enter in Oracle 9i AS and print reports in english and other language like spanish.
    How do I configure the AS Server, I am running 9i AS on Windows 2003, I have changed NLS_Lang setting in registry but it doesn't work.
    Please provide setting and if any environmental vairables I have to set in Reports properties files or elsewhere.
    Thank you.

    Did you select the languages on the first screens of the Universal Installer, when installing this instance? If not, you may need to do it again to enable support for that language.

  • To find out how SAP is handling language support in the standard product.

    Hi All,
    i have one issue like "To find out how SAP is handling language support in the standard product". Any body have the solution, please send me as soon as possible.
    i am very thankful to you all in advance.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Nagarjuna.

    It would be easier to send a solution if you'd clearly defined the problem!.
    SAP is built to be multilingual. 
    For ABAP development, to ensure that your code is able to be multilingual, you should not hard code any text that the users could see - you should instead use text elements, standard texts, OTR, message classes etc.

  • How to handle different languages in Illustrator for big clients?

    Hi Guys,
    I need small suggestio for 'How to handle different languages in illustrator for big clients'. For instance; Arabic, this is a language which  needs to be read from right to left instead of left to right. There are  other strange languages as well (Cyrillic, Chinese etc.). It happens  also that when you copy strange languages from a word file it will not  be easy to paste it the correct way in a .ai file. Besides that, it’s  also difficult to do a language check when we are not able to read it!. So,  to make a long story short, I want to figure out how we can deal with multiple language  circles?
    Can you some please give me the solution for this...
    Thanks in advance...
    HARI

    I take it you might come from an arabic background.
    Here is how you can help yourself to some degree.
    Google has a translation feature and service which is at the moment free. It is excellent.
    Secondly if you are working with ME languages you really need the ME version of Illustrator or any other Creative Suites Application in order for it to work properly.
    It, is also best to enable the language and the input for that language for your system on the Mac it is easy you go to the Language and text feature in theSystem Preferences, once enabled you can select the fro the menu bar under the American flag if you are in the US. Thst will appear once you have more than one language selected.
    You select the language input you need and then a font for that language then paste and edit.
    You need fonts on your computer that are of those languages as well.
    How to manage this as a work flow well that is something you will have to work on yourself or hire a consultant who specializes in this area.
    We had a few visit here when they have come across a snafu. So they exists.

    Thanks

  • How to display different language?

    first i input different language(like chinese ) into context
    and then it will be stored into OracleDb
    however when i view the jsp page, The character that i inputed is changed.
    how can i do? And can i use class java.util.locale. give me a example.
    thanks

    you probably are getting the text encoded as ISO8859-1 instead of the Chinese. try translating it like this:
    String s = new String(rs.getString("name").getBytes("ISO8859-1"), "BIG-5");
    or whatever encoding you use for Chinese, where rs is a result set from the DB

  • How to use different languages in iDVD

    I want to create a DVD with different languages or with an audio comment to be chosen. Is this possible?

    Hi
    No and Yes
    If You want as an commercial DVD - NO - this function is not in iDVD
    Can it be faked? - YES for small videos as iDVD is limiting in TIME not Gbs
    So for as Single Layer DVD the limit is about 120 minutes (Pro-Quality Encoding and High Quality Encoding) and by keeping Menu as simple possibly this will be close to 118 minutes.
    For a four language version then the max time per movie will be about 19 min 30 sec.
    So the fake is made by making four individual movies one in each language and add all four to the DVD project.
    Only way - Sorry
    Yours Bengt W

  • How I support Arabic language in reminders

    when I opened my reminder on my PC, I found that the Arabic language is corrupted, how can I fix it

    Sorry, I wasn't concentrating before, I have been talking about the phone itself - I really don't know if it is possible to add languages to accessories like the keyboard, but even if it is possible it will be only via a Nokia service point.
    I don't know how much more clear I can make this: the manufacturer does not provide a method for the user to add languages to its devices.

  • How to get Different language in ALV header

    Hi Experts,
    Please help to get the Header text in other language other than English.
    I want to get Combodian language to be in the header so that the user can understand by looking at the header.Its is also required for the top of page event.
    If any translations required in future is there any option to change that header
    Pleas help me,
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    Shalem.

    I think whatever header you want to mention that should be specified in fieldcatalogue. So in whichever format/language you are specifying in fieldcatalgue in that format/language only it will be displayed in alv.
