Input in Multiple Languages

Hi,
I have a unicode enabled report & database. I have logged into SAP with English as login language. Is it possible to enter input to the report parameters in some other language?
Thanks,
Munish

Yes it is possible. You can directly give values in the other languages.
or
Either give this statement in your report
set country 'Germany'.
and then give values in german language for that report program parameters.

Hi Laxman
Thanks for reply.....
I performed step guided by you but the desired langauge was not copied. I refered to one more link & discovred that we have to login into desired langauge & have to enter description of langauge manually.
After entering description I have created PO for vendor whoes communication langauge is other than English & PO was created sucessfully.
Thanks for inputs.......

Multiple Language Problem

Hi Gurus,
In a query I am using the custom defined - Variable, Formula Variable & Formula, here variable are used for customer inputs. And when I am executing the query at English language I am getting the description for Variable, Formula Variables and Formula. But when I am executing the same query other than English language I am not getting the description for all of them and it was displaying the technical name of the Variables, due this problem end-user are not able to give the input values for query execution.
How I can maintain the multiple languages for Variable, Formula Variables and formulas.

R/3 4.6C - SAPConsole - Multiple Language implementaion

We are at SAP R/3 release 4.6C and planning to implement SAPConsole for raw material GR and GI in IM. Challenge is RF devices are in in chinese and korean language. I have designed the business process and screens in english.
Please advise how to implement console to handle business transactions to and from the RF device while sitting on MDMP system(4.6c).
What are big challenge I may have during implementation?
How to configure console to handle english, chinese and korean language?
What are the limitations with 4.6c and sapconsole to handle multiple language?
Is there any SAP note related to such scenario?
Any system admin related parameter whcih need special attention before implementation?
Note: We have no plan to upgrade to ECC6.0.
I will appreciate any input/help regarding such implementation.

Hi Lee,
I have connected multiple BWsystems to the same source R/3 system and as long as there are no compatibility issues, it is possible. Potential issue could be that your BW 3.5 system requires a certain plug-in version/patch level that is not supported by your other BW system as they are on different releases, so you will have to confirm that there is no issue with that respect. Also, this can present a future problem when you are applying patches to your systems.
Another area of concern is Delta extraction of the same data source. If the same datasource is to send data to both systems, it will be a problem as the timestamps are stored in tables that are not specific to the target system. For example, some FI and CO datasources use table BWOM2_TIMEST. Every time a delta is extracted, the delta is determined based on entries in this table. However, this table is only specific to a client and datasource, not target system. Therefore, you will need to evaluate what data you will be sending to what system and using wht datasources and whether there would be any conflicts there.
A possible solution to some of the above mentioned problems would be to have the data sent to one of your BW systems and then re-sent to the other system from there or used via RemoteCubes, for example.
I hope that this helps!
John

Multiple Language..More information

One of our team members tested that if he had oracle applications on 10g (UTF8) he was able to enter data in a DFF in a differnt language while logging into the US instance with no language patches on it. The scenario was repeated by another member who connected to the US applications instance and was able to save and re-query japanese characters.
Our requirement is just to have 2-3 fields to be in different language that too in couple of forms. Is it still recommended to install the language patches or continue doing the same as tested above. Not sure how reporting and interfaces will work with it.
Any pointers will be appreciated.
Thanks

Ouch!!! I will definitely say that I am sorry for the sweeping generallization of my comment ...
For anyone who has taken offence to my posting that the US of A is a "mono-culture" - I am SINCERELY sorry.
Just for your reference, I studied and worked in the US (NJ specifically) for almost 9 years. I agree that there are many cultures and ethnicity that are scattered (& concentrated) around the country.
My gripe is as follows - not just for Apple, but for all software manufacturers throughout the world. Consideration from the onset for multiple language (display and input) is very important.
The main reason I started using the iPod is that it is multi-lingual ready. I was an ardent supporter of the Creative Jukebox (being a Singaporean company) but was quickly put off by its inability to read Unicode.
Similarly - I switched from WinAmp to iTunes was for the sole reason that iTunes did not need a separate plug-in to recognize Korean, Chinese (Simplified & Traditional), Japanese, French .... languages.
The other side of it is that many "standards" are biased towards using the English language as a standard of communicating and documenting. This is due to the natural realization that it is a very common language (but incidentally not the most spoken, written &etc).
But I digress - as you stated - this is neither a political nor a cultural forum. The wonderful thing about the Mac is that it transcends these boundaries. I am a Switcher - having used and am still using Windows. But the issue is why would Apple have been such a hit with the Japanese since its inception while the others have taken the path of mass appeal.
So now I stand down from my soap box.
Again - for those who have taken offence to my statement - my apologies!

Multiple Language Keyboard

We are developing an Application on an HMI which has a touch panel PC (IExplore hardware), for which we have to provide multiple language (UTF8 Encoding) support for the user.
Wish to know if there is any library available for Keypad to change based on the Language Selection.
One of the challenge being a touch panel PC being multiple languages having different character set.
The windows language keypad may not be an option, since, the character displayed on the keyboard would always be English, even though the input language could be changed.
Thanks.

UCCX CAD Multiple Language Support

When installing UCCX 8.5 I am prompted with the option to choose the CAD/CSD Language Configuration. This install is for a customer with offices in Quebec (French) and the rest of Canada (English). It would appear that I can choose only one language and not both even though I can install multiple languages for the IVR prompts.
Am I to understand that even with the latest version of UCCX there is still no way to have the French users use a French version of the CAD application and the English users use an English version of the CAD application?
Or am I missing something?

Hi Steve,
I did find a workaround that is working for my customer.
As you may know after the UCCX install you are directed to run the "CAD Client Configuration.msi" file which can be downloaded from the UCCX server. The program downloads the new installer files for CAD, CSD and Cisco Desktop Administrator and configures the IP address of the primary UCCX server based on your input. The program then appears to connect to the primary server to retrieve the backup server IP as well as the language of the server. The application then uploads the installer files preconfigured for the system with the IP’s and language. These installer files can be downloaded from the server via a URL for installation on client computers. These installer files are also pushed down to clients after an upgrade to the system if the version used by the client is an older version.
This is where the problem lies. However there is another way to generate the client install files.
There is also a program that comes with the UCCX installation media called “ConfigureMsi.exe” that allows a user to pre-configure the installer files. This application does not use the server to retrieve language or IP addresses. This information is manually configured by the user when running the application.
So what I did was (because my install base was primarily English) use the CAD Client Configuration tool to configure the clients as English. Then I ran the ConfigureMsi.exe that is on the UCCX media (DVD) and generated another set of French language install files.
When the client (CAD, CSD, DA) connect ot the server they compare their versions (but not their languages). So if you manually install the French computers with the French installation media you created they will connect to UCCX and work. If however a patch needs to be applied to the UCCX server then you need to ensure that you get the installation media and generate the updated French versions of the clients and manually push them out prior to the upgrade. The reason for this is that if you apply a patch on the UCCX server and the French client (older version) connects to UCCX the UCCX server will push down the English version of the client.
I documented a process for them to follow when applying patches so that they upgraded their French clients first and then applied the patch to UCCX. Of course the English clients detect they are on an older version and get pushed the new English client automatically as they would with an English only install.
The only caveat to all of this was that the historical reporting client is not included in the “ConfigureMsi.exe” tool on the UCCX media. It appears to be only available through the UCCX server and thus it was only available in English.
I'm sure you could probably install another copy of UCCX as French only and pull down the historical reporting application for the French users however this would be alot of work for just a single application and this process would have to be followed after every upgrade to the system. With virtualized deployments these days it might be a bit easier.
This workaround is only for the client applications (excluding historical reporting). I believe the CRAAdmin web site was still in english. I deployed this solution over a year ago and cannot recall if the language setting of the browser/computer determiined the language you received in CRAAdmin. It might but I unfortunately cannot confirm this.
In all the testing I performed it appeared as though the language for the client was all programmed into the client itself. It seems odd that Cisco cannot allow you specify multiple languages to upload to the UCCX server and then do a language check as well as a version check when the client connects and dish out the appropriate version.

Multiple currencies? Multiple languages?

hi,
Does SAP handle multiple currencies? Multiple languages? What is a currency factoring technique?
Thank you
Ashok kumar

HI,
Yes.
SAP handles Multiple Currencies and Languages
see the table TCURR, TCURC for different currencies
Currency Factoring Technique:
Currencies in Planning
In Profit Center Accounting, three currencies can be stored at once:
Transaction Currency
The transaction currency is the currency used for a specific transaction. You can choose a different currency from the list of valid currencies for each new transaction. The transaction currency is stored in the transaction data for Profit Center Accounting as the so-called "first currency".
Local Currency (Company Code Currency)
The controlling area currency is stored in Profit Center Accounting as the second currency.
Profit Center Local Currency
You need to set a special currency for Profit Center Accounting in Customizing for each controlling area. This currency is used in the standard reports, among other things. You can find more information about this currency in Customizing. The profit center currency is the third currency updated in the transaction data.
How Do I Plan Currencies in Profit Center Accounting?
You first plan a profit center in USD. Then you later plan the same profit center in DEM in a second planning session. This may be necessary if:
the planned costs for the profit center in a certain cost element consist of external invoices in the local currency and external invoices from abroad and
the external invoice from abroad was billed and paid abroad
The currencies which can be planned manually are defined in the Layout.
If the corresponding key figures are defined and ready for input in the planning layout, you can plan in any permissible transaction currency, the company code currency or the profit center currency. The planned amount is then immediately and automatically translated into the other currencies. Note, however, that the system can only translate into a transaction currency if you have explicitly specified a transaction currency.
If you want to want to plan data using different transaction currencies, you need to use a planning layout that contains the characteristic "Transaction currency".
Note that data can only be saved in the transaction currency if a transaction currency has been specified. Otherwise the data will only be saved in the other currencies without the transaction currency.
If you want to want to summarize data in the transaction currency, you need to use a planning layout that does not contain the characteristic "Transaction currency". You can then:
change the summarized values, in which case the changes are not updated in the transaction currency, and
add any combinations of objects that have not already been planned.
If you
enter one transaction currency, the system only displays the amounts planned in that currency. You can
change these amounts
plan in the currency specified
enter a number sign (#) to represent the value " " (no value), the system only displays those values that were planned without the transaction currency. You can
change these amounts
plan amounts without a transaction currency
specify more than one currency or all currencies (*), the system displays all the planned values. You can
change these amounts
can plan as yet unplanned combinations of your planning objects in any valid currency.
Planned currency amounts are translated using
the value date you entered in the planner profile for your area
a translation factor entered in the currency table for the exchange rate type entered in the planner profile
You will find further information about the currency table and currency translation in the documentation FI Configuration and Organization.
Transfer Pricing Using the Conditions Technique
The term "transfer pricing" is used to describe the calculation of prices for internal exchanges of goods between profit centers. Conditions are the individual steps carried out during price calculation. When a goods movement takes place between two plants, the price can depend on a number of factors, such as the material involved, the sender plant, the profit center, the partner profit center, and so on. The information on these variable factors is stored as master data in the form of condition records. There the transfer price can be defined as a fixed price or a percentage increase or reduction.
This section describes the steps necessary to define transfer prices. You define these transfer prices in Customizing. There you will also find a detailed description of how to proceed.
Define condition tables, which you use to store condition records for each condition type.
Here you define the price dependencies for transfer prices. You can make the transfer price found dependent upon a combination of fields. For example, if you want your transfer prices to be defined for a combination of material and partner profit center, you need to define a condition table that contains these key fields. The condition records then contain the individual prices for each combination of material and profit center. You maintain the condition records when you define the individual condition types.
Define access sequences that the system should use to search for valid condition records.
An access sequence is a search strategy that the system uses to find valid data for certain condition tables. Each access sequence consists of one or more steps, which the system processes in the order specified. The order determines where the system should look first for a valid condition record. You can specify an access sequence for any condition type for which you create condition records.
Define condition types for all the pricing elements (fixed amounts, markups and markdowns) that occur in your daily business operations.
In Profit Center Accounting, a condition type represents a component of a transfer price. You can define condition types for every type of fixed price, markup or markdown that occurs in your internal goods movements. If you define a percentage markup or markdown as a condition type, you also need to define another condition type to serve as the basis for this percentage. This can be a price stored in the material ledger. The relationship between these two condition types is then defined in the pricing procedure.
In some condition types you need to specify an access sequence. In this way you determine which fields the system should use to search for a valid condition record.
Define condition records that determine the amount or percentage to be applied for each set of values in the condition table (such as "fixed price of USD 100.00 for material 01, profit center ABC, and plant 0001").
You can maintain condition records directly from within the definition of the condition type. Or you can define them from the application menu by choosing Master data ® Transfer prices ® Conditions. It is also possible to copy existing condition records to create new ones. This is especially useful if you want to change the currency of the condition record. You can maintain condition records either in Customizing or in the application menu, under Master data ® Transfer prices.
Define a pricing procedure to group together condition types and determine how they relate to one another.
In addition to the selection and order of condition types, a pricing procedure determines
which subtotals should be calculated
what base value the system should use for calculating percentage markups or markdowns
what conditions must be met in order for a certain condition type to be calculated
The base value for markups and markdowns can be either a fixed price or a value from the material ledger. Using a routine supplied in the standard R/3 System, you can have the system read the legal, group, or profit center price from the material ledger and calculate the markup or markdown on this basis.
Define condition exclusions, which let you determine which condition type should be used in a given situation.
In transfer pricing for goods movements, it often happens that a number of different condition records are valid. Using condition exclusions, you can compare conditions with one another and use, for example, the most favorable price for the partner profit center.
For different condition exclusion methods are available:
· The most favorable condition in an exclusion group
· The most favorable condition record for a condition type
· The most favorable condition among different exclusion groups
· Exclusion of those conditions in an exclusion group when a condition type that belongs to another exclusion group appears
Define transfer price variants, which let you specify which pricing procedures are relevant for actual data and which for plan data.
To valuate different datasets, such as plan and actual data, using different conditions, you can define variants with an assignment to a specific pricing procedure. The system processes the specified procedures in order until it finds a valid transfer price.
In transfer pricing for goods movements, only actual data is valuated (variant 000). However, you can also create additional variants if you want to calculate plan prices on the basis of pricing data.
Define pricing reports, which determine the structure of lists of conditions.
A pricing report lets you analyze condition records according to certain criteria and define the structure of these lists. You can define pricing reports either in Customizing for Profit Center Accounting or in the application menu, under Master data ® Transfer prices ® Pricing reports.

Padmam.

Multiple language support help

I have a large application with more than several hundred sub VIs. Now, we want to modify it to provide multiple language support, for example, Chinese or French. I have searched the forum and have some clue, but still cannot fit our needs.
1. from NI site, one method is to export string and import string. But for several hundred sub VIs, do I need to to this several hundred times for each VI? since in our application, some strings are hardcoded.
2. using excel sheet, everytime read excel file and modify the contorl properities. I am not sure how this works in details.
Any advice or suggestion will be appreciated. Thanks.

michenglaoxu,
Please see the following post, as well as How Can I Use Chinese Characters in LabVIEW on Windows XP?, perhaps it can help also note the following excerpt from Localizing Your LabVIEW Application to Different Languages:
"You do not need to have a specific language
version of LabVIEW, such as French, German, or Japanese, to be able to
enter display text in that language. LabVIEW supports single and double
byte characters, but it does not support bidirectional scripts (such as
Arabic or Hebrew).
If you want to display text in multi-byte
character sets (such as Japanese, Chinese, or Korean) in LabVIEW, you
only need an operating system of the appropriate language or an
MBCS-enabled operating system with an Input Method Editor (IME) for the
corresponding language. Also, there are several commercially available
language kits that you can add on to the operating system."

Create folders with multiple language support

How can folders be created supporting multiple languages?
I am using Mac OS X with English as my native language. As I would like to have several folders named in Japanese this causes some trouble: It is no problem to name them using Japanese characters, but if I navigate through these folders using the Terminal as I often do the names will only appear like "???????????????????" even if I use 'export LCALL="jaJP.UTF-8"' to get right character interpretation for the Terminal. There must be an alternative name support for folders as I tried to create folders while I switched to Japanese as my native language for Mac OS X and all standard user folders switched to Japanese language. In the Terminal these folders still appear in international English language. And also when I copy those folders to an external hard drive the multiple language support will stay alive. But I still didn't find out how new folders created by myself will get multiple language support. Any hints?
Thanks in advance.

Unfortunately I have to switch between Romaji and Hiragana/Katakana input method every time I have to spell japanese folder names. (Tab completion doesn't work at all for these folders.)
Sorry, I don't understand what you mean there. Where are you spelling the names? In Terminal?
Yes, I meant typing Japanese characters in the Terminal. It works but it's very uncomfortable as shortcuts to switch the input method don't work while writing commands in the Terminal. Standard folders like "Documents", "Pictures" etc. appear in English in the Terminal even if the localization has been switched to an other language. (So there is no need to switch the input method while working in the Terminal.)
In case the folders are stored on an external drive (even if it's fat) and it's plugged in on another computer they appear in English likewise.
Self created folders normally won't have this ability. But to customize this behaviour is exactly what I am looking for. I guess the information about the "international aliases" must be in a hidden file or something like that.
That must certainly be part of the localization system for the OS. Here is some info:
http://developer.apple.com/internationalization/localization/tools.html
Thank you for the link, first I'll explore the tools. Maybe I'll find some useful information.
I'll return as soon as I need help again or if I found what I am searching for.
Thank you so far.

Database storage of multiple languages for name of a single entity

Surely I'm not the first person to have this problem, but I can't find many resources on how to solve this. Just some background on what I'm working with, I'm running a web application using the Struts framework with jdk 1.4 on a Weblogic 8.1 server connected to an Oracle 9i database, I'm using DAO for my persistence layer, and I'm not opposed to using any 3rd party software to assist in this task.
For example, say I have a database of DVDs, My application will retrieve the list of DVDs from the database to display to the user. Depending on the user's Locale I want to display the title of the DVD in that language.
This is a simple example, but the real-world application is much more complicated. The application is highly configurable meaning that through a configuration application, my internal users can add DVDs at any time, edit the title of the DVD, or add a new language that they want the title to display in, etc. When a customer logs in to the application front-end they will be able to change the language they want the application to display in at any time, and the application will need to reflect that change. The display of constant text like field labels and page text is easy using Struts but its this configurable dynamic text thats a bit more difficult.
Its obvious to me that I will need to store the multiple languages in the database in some way, I'm thinking of either storage in some xml format, or a new table hanging off the "dvd" table with languages for each dvd. Either of these options would work for my purposes, but I don't want to go reinvent the wheel when this same problem has arleady been solved. If someone could point me in the right direction I would appreciate it

One common way to handle this is to modify your key for the dvd title to include a locale identifier:
key dvdtitle
becomes
key locale dvdtitle
Now your db can hold multiple translations of the same dvd title.

John O'Conner

Why do I get a popup message in multiple languages requiring a shutdown and restart

Why do I keep getting a popup message in multiple languages requiring a shutdown and restart? Has been going on for a few months. Because of the shutdown reports have been sent to Apple upon restart.

After it restarted, did you see a dialog box resembling this one:
If so, next time it occurs click Report...
Before you send it to Apple, copy the text of the report. Paste it in a reply. Remove or obscure any personal information, should it appear.
If problems continues to occur please determine if they also occur in "Safe Mode":
Safe Mode or "Safe Boot" is a troubleshooting mode that bypasses all third party system extensions and loads only required system components. Read about it: Starting up in Safe Mode
Starting your Mac in Safe Mode will take longer than usual, graphics will not render smoothly, audio is disabled on some Macs, and some programs (iTunes for example) may not work at all.
To end Safe Mode restart your Mac normally. Shutdown will take longer as well.

When trying to load multiple language versions of an ibook onto my iPad only the first document loads

We have a sales tool that we have created for one of our clients in iBooks Author. They need the iBook creating in various languages.
We need to be able to supply the multiple versions of the same document (in the different languages) to our client and they need to be able to install the different versions onto their iPads. And they want the options of having multiple language versions on the same iPads.
We have already created two language versions of the document (a US English and an International English version).
The two documents have different file names, (although they are based on the same document). We have just changed the spelling of some words accordingly. (And we will be producing other language variants based on the master file).
We export the two documents via the File > Export > iBooks option. Then we are using Dropbox to upload the two files. The files are then accessed via the Dropbox App on the iPad.
We can download the first document (International English) onto the iPad and view it as normal, but when we try and then download the other document (US English) it downloads in the Dropbox App, but when you click on view in iBooks it opens the first (International English) document into iBooks.
You can only appear to have one version of the document installed at any one time. If you delete the first one you can then load the second one fine, but not both at the same time. If the file names are different it must be getting the identity of the document from somewhere else.
This has only started happening since using iBooks Author 2.
Can anyone offer any suggestions please. I've tried changing the version number in the option on export, but this doesn't seem to affect the result.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions
John

Further to my earlier post we have now completed a test by saving our original document as a template, then creating a new document from the template, making necessary changes and saving as a new file. We can now upload the two separate versions to our iPad.
You cannot "duplicate" the file in any way, either by the File > Duplicate method from within iBooks Author or by simply Duplicating the original .iba file in the Finder, as this will cause the problem outlined above. By Duplicating you are obviously also duplicating this "hidden metadata" which is stored somewhere within the file which iBooks on the iPad is using to identify the documents. So unless Apple update the software to allow us to change that metadata we are stuck to using the Templates route. (Didn't have this problem on the last version of iBooks Author).
This works for what we are trying to do, which is create different language variants of the same book.
Working from Templates is probably the correct way to do it anyway, but might not necessarily be right for everyone.
Working in iBooks Author is proving to be a rather testing experience. You certainly need the patience of a Saint. Not sure it's of the standard we expect from Apple, but then I guess, as they are giving it away "free", they think they don't have to offer any support for it.
I think I would prefer to pay a fee for it and have a support route from Apple, rather than rely on a community of equally frustrated users who are all playing guinea pig and simply sharing their workarounds for a half baked product.
Good luck to everyone!!!

With Pages 5.2 how can i use multiple language types in a single document

My Macbook Air Has the version 10.9.3
I'm used to work with the old version of Page.
But now I am using the new version of Pages 5.2 (1860).
I want to know with the new version how do I use an multiple language types in a single document option.
In the old version of Pages I was using Inspector -> Text -> "More" tab -> Language: British Inglese.
In the new Pages 5.2 I do not know how to do it
Could you help me?
melo

It's not possible to tag text with multiple languages in Pages 5. Go back to Pages 4, which should still be in you iWork folder.
For the whole doc in Pages 5, use Edit > Spellling and Grammar > Show Spelling and Grammar.

Multiple languages autocorrect issues

On my iPhone, I added multiple languages and on the keyboard appears the 'globe' to choose one before writing an email. That way, autocorrect adjusts to that language. I added languages to my MacBook Air Air as well, but autocorrect sticks with English and makes my writing in other languages diffcult. Is there a way to have that same iPhone feature for my MacBook (and not having to switch languages in settings or turn off autocorrect)?

Not really. OS X works totally differently in this area than iOS, the keyboard setting being irrelevant. The most you can do is go to system preferences/language & text/text/spelling/setup and check the boxes for the languages you want and then set it to "automatic" and see whether it does anything useful for you.
