Import Vietnam Language

Question

Dear All;
l have a SAP Ent 4.7 system and the users would like to use the Vietnam language.
l check in SMLT, l try to add the language from the list however the Vietname language is not in the list. 
Please advise:
Can l add the Vietname language, if yes, does SAP provide the language CD to installation?
And what locale to use for Vietnam language?
l will assume it is MDMP for Ent 4.7 version for additional language, does SAP still support the MDMP?
Thanks
Jordan

Answer 1

Dear All;
In my case, l am having SAP 4.7, non-Unicode system and want to use Vietnamese language,  based on what we understand , Vietnamese can use in SAP if the SAP in Unicode.
However, l came across this Note 302063 - Correspondence Language, it said:
================== Begin Notes===================
Reason and Prerequisites
1. Customer needs to use different terms (texts) to describe the same
   item in same text format for different variants of one language
   (for instance English, there are British English, Australian
  English, Canadian English and American English as well);
2. Customer needs to format the same text in different layouts for
   different variants of one language or for different territories
   or countries where people speak the same language but use
   different document formats, for instance, legal files or invoices;
3. Customer needs to use an unsupported language in his/her system
   to create documents or forms.  And the unsupported language uses
   a code page which is configured in the system.  For example, a
   system, configured as a single code page system with English
   and Spanish (code page 1100) can have a Correspondence Language,
   Basque(code page 1100).
Solution
0. Concept
   0.1. To enable the handling for the situations outlined above, we
        introduced 'Correspondence Language'.
   0.2. Correspondence language is different from customer reserved
        language 'Z1' (see note 112065). Customer reserved language
        'Z1' is regarded as a fully supported language but not
        Correspondence language. Correspondence language can only be
        used for creating SAPscript standard texts, forms, and styles,
        not for other purposes.  For instance, it can not be
        used as a logon language.
   0.3. Correspondence Language in Unicode systems
        In a Unicode system, you can increase the number of available
        language keys. Note 42305 contains more information about this
        option (in the section 'How to extend the language list').
        Therefore, it is not generally necessary to set up the a
        correspondence language in a Unicode system.
        However, in the following cases a Correspondence Language must
        be set up as described in this note even in a Unicode system:
          o The language exists in a non-Unicode system, and you want to continue to use it after the upgrade to Unicode.
          o You need to exchange data in a system landscape between Unicode and non-Unicode systems, and the language key used for the data is a Correspondence Language key (see SAP note 871945).
1. To customize the correspondence language
   you need to run reports 'RSCPCOLA' and 'RSCPINST'
  1.1 Run the report 'RSCPCOLA'
      The report is used to define/assign, redefine/reassign or delete
      correspondence language(s).
      To define or redefine a correspondence language, you need to
       1) select a correspondence language key,
          the valid correspondence language keys are
          Z2, Z3, Z4, Z5, Z6, Z7, Z8, and Z9;
       2) keyin the description of that language in
          'New langauge name' field;
       3) select a master language which you want to use as the
          process langauge of correpondence langauge.
          The master language select is important as it determines
          the language in which your system runs and thereby
          determines the character set and the sort order of
          the correspondence language. The master language must be
          one of the supported languages in your system.
      4) click 'Assign' button;
       5) at the confirmation step, choose 'Yes' when you really
          want to define it, otherwise choose 'No' or 'Cancel'.
2. Attention
   2.1 Please be aware that correspondence language is not a fully
      supported langauge, see section 0.1;
   2.2 Before deleting or reassigning an existing correspondence
       language, you have to check manually whether there are some
      SAPscript forms, styles and standard texts defined with this
      language key are still in use.
   2.3 After R/3 database upgrade, due to the overwrite of tables,
       you have to run the report again to enable such handling.
===============================End Note===================
Does it mean l can just add the Vietnamese language using the report RSCPCOLA?
