Language Import problem

Question

Hello all,
We met a language problem after SMLT importing ZH language.
Our system is ECC 6.0 SR3, newly installed, support package level:
SAP_BASIS    SAPKB70014
SAP_APPL      SAPKH60011
after  installing, I import language from DVD 51033496_6, and then, I logon system with ZH language, most of the words are displayed as Chinese but strange is that some descritptions (when I click F4) are displayed as blank, function consultant said it should be displayed as normal. so, I'm confused wether there are some more language I need to import.
Currently in SMLT, under Chinese, there are two items:
Imported packges:SAPKLZHM10
Suplemented ith: ENGLISH
I have following two questions:
1. do I need to import anymore languae packages in order to display all chinese correctly?
2. do I need to import netweaver lanuages? since some tcodes like DB02, SM37 are still in english
3. is it obligatory to download othe language packages in solution manager? because I search "language neweaver" in service market place, but no record returned.
Thank you very much for all.

Hello Freshman,
As you are running an ECC 6.0 SR3, you have used the correct language package to install ZH language (that is, package SAPKLZHM10 from DVD 51033496_6).
But installing the language package is just the first step that you have to perform when installing a new language in the system.
This is what you have to do next to complete the Chinese language installation:
1. Install the language part of Support Packages.
If Support Packages have been applied into the system before installing ZH language, the texts in ZH included in those Support Packages are not available yet in your system. Therefore, you must proceed as follows:
    SMLT --> single click on 'Chinese' to select it --> Language --> Special Actions --> Import Support Packages
a new screen will be displayed with all the Support Packages of your system. If any of them has a red light, it means that the ZH texts from that package are not in your system, so you have to click the 'Go to next screen' button. Now you will see a list with the Support Packages that had a red light in the previous screen; clicking again the 'Go to next screen' will start the import of the Chinese texts stored on those Support Packages.
2. Now you have to supplement Chinese language with English in all the clients of the system, starting with client 000. In order to do it logon into client 000 and go to:
    SMLT --> single click on 'Chinese' to select it --> Language --> Supplement Language
if a screen pops-up with information about the Secondary Language, just click 'Yes' to continue.
Write anything you want in the 'Description' field, leave the default options and click 'Execute' to start the supplementation.
Once that it finishes, do the same in all the other existing clients in the system.
3. Finally, go to transaction SE38 and execute report RSTLAN20. In the selection screen that is displayed after executing the program select all the check boxes. It will refresh the language load from the buffers.
After that check the screens again, this time they should not be displayed as blank. Anyhow, if you have any problem update this thread and I'll have a look at it.
Regarding your second question about importing the netweaver language package, it is not needed. The language package for ECC 6.0 is enough. You must take into account that the degree of translation of Chinese is 0 (it can be seen in SMLT, double click in 'Chinese'). It means that SAP has only delivered some texts translated into Chinese, you cannot expect to have all the texts in the system in Chinese. For the languages with degree of translation lower than 2, most of the "technical" transactions (DB02, ST04, etc) are not translated and will be displayed in the supplementary language (English in your case).
And regarding the Solution Manager language package, in an ECC 6.0 system you don't have to install any Solution Manager language package.
But if you have a Solution Manager system, you must use the corresponding language package created for Solution Manager systems. Depending on your Solution Manager release, you have to use one of these DVD: (you will find all the information about which DVD and language package corersponds to each release in [SAP Note 330104|http://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/330104|Link to SAP Note 330104] )
