Multiple languages - Smartforms - Invoices

Hi,
I'm having problems getting the following scenario to work:
All the texts on the form are displayed like this::
Polish phrase / foreign translation
Foreign translation: language taken from invoice (i.e. English or German or Italian ).
The problem arises when i want to print Polish characters: 'ąęńś'' etc, some other characters are printed instead, but not hashes ('#').
When a German invoice is to be previewed/printed the OTF instructions contain 'D' language suffix - it screws Polish character set. On the other hand if I modify substitute 'L' for 'D' (thus forcing Polish language) both Polish and German characters are displayed correctly.
Is it possible to configure the system in such a way that regardless of suffix 'D', 'E' or any other the system will always display / print the proper characters in this scenario ? ( system is not unicode )
Cheers,
Bart

Hi,
Project Online comes out-of-the-box with all languages for the project templates, evenif your instance is configured for a specific language. As far as I know, there is no way to "clean" this up. In my point of view, this is not annoying since
only admins can access to the EPT configuration pages.
Hope this helps,

Best practice in working with Adobe forms in multiple languages

We have to provide access to some Adobe Interactive Forms in both English and French, some of them from Web Dynpro application(s), some of them as callable objects from Guided Procedures.
1- We know for sure that we can have two copies of each form, one in English and one in French but that implies duplicating the FormCalc and Javascript code behind.
2- Another way if to modify in javascript all labels, captions using some javascript i.e. If lang = "E" then "My label" else "Mon étiquette" . It would work but it is not very efficient.
Is someone here has experience with this type of situation and would be willing to share his experience with me?
Thanks in advance,

Hi Benoit,
For Adobe Forms in multiple language you can use include text solution also . Within this solution you need to add a language parameter in your interface and then retrieve the include text in the language value ( not current language ) . Personnaly i used a lot this solution with Smartforms text .
Also i used dictionnary text for text linked with data dictionnary element . For this there is standard function module in SAP .
Anothers way is in the SFP editor you can translate your form as in SAPSCRIPT .
Hope this help you
Regard.
PS : if necessary i can send you a sample form with smartform/Dictionnary text solution.

Multiple Languages in one Form

Hello,
I have a requirement to replace a preprinted form and create a form in SAP that contains texts in multiple languages. e.g. Russian, Greek, Bulgarian, German, English etc.
The form also contains single lines of text with multiple Languages.
Does anybody know how to achieve this?
We are on ERP 6.0.
Greetings,
Thomas

if your using the smartforms :
you can use multiple include texts
if it is EN
Text Name         &GV_DEL_NUM&
Text Object       VBBK
Text ID           ZSO6
Language            EN pass here
if it is DE
Text Name         &GV_DEL_NUM&
Text Object       VBBK
Text ID           ZSO6
Language      DE pass here
like create multiple texts.
if it is SCRIPT
use read_text multiple times and based on language
finally CONCATENATE texts into single line......

Reports Output in MULTIPLE Languages..

Hello -
We have a customer with operating locations in China, Japan and USA. They are OK with using the application (Forms, Java etc) in English. But they have few Customer facing reports (Invoices, Statements etc.) that need to be printed in the local language (Both DATA and Labels).
So it is NOT just labels but also the data (right, even the item descriptions, styles, color) etc needed to be printed in Local Language.
I know one way we do this is by storing the data in multiple languages (Items Descriptions, Colors, Styles) in a table. But I am wondering if there is ANY Dynamic conversion utility that can be used at the report run time that can convert ENGLISH to local languages before printing.
Any suggestions?>
Thank YOU
Bala

Hi Norman,
We have Siebel 8.0.0.8 implemented in ENU and FRA. I have an XLIFF for each language. However , when I run the report from the French application, the report generated has all the labels show up correctly in French. However, the LOV values still show up in English. If I set the Language Code parameter in the XMLP Report Server component to FRA, then the French LOV values show up in English and French reports.
How do I get the correct LOVs to show up on the correct language reports. Any ideas ?
Thanks

Designate multiple languages for a Business Partner

In the province of Quebec (Canada), contacts for a Business Partner can either be French or English. When creating a Marketing Document, I would like to be able to use the Language setting found under the Logistics Tab to select either a French or English version of a PLD template that is marked as default for that client.
This means that a BP can be associated to multiple language versions of the same PLD.

Thanks for your reply.
I need the have each LOS ( Location of sale or location of delivery) of Business Partner because we will deliver items for the LOS and not for BP.
As we also need to control (serial numbers) items & services ( field management) I also need to have the LOS as BP.
As example:
BP name AAA have 30 LOS.
BP AAA bought 2000 items.
BP AAA ask us to old theses items in warehouse.
BP AAA request to delivery a x quantity in LOS 1, 2,3,4,...
The invoice went to BP AAA, but the deliveries will be to each LOS of BP AAA.
As I said we need to have the field services working side-by-side with serials numbers and services for each LOS of our BP AAA.
So, we have subcustomers from big customer BP AAA.
Do we have any way of having all subcustomers(LOS) as BP, along with the real customer AAA?
Thanks in advance,

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.

Fnd_request.submit_request with multiple language request

Hey all,
Looking for some advice on submitting multiple requests via plsql fnd_request.submit_request, or something along those lines.
Long story short, I would like to submit the concurrent request Invoice Print New Invoices from a plsql scirpt "code unit".
When running that request from the applications, it first runs the parent request "Multiple Language" which in turn spawns the child request "Invoice Print New Invoices", which is the request thas uses the parameters entered in the parameters form interface.
_Any suggestions on how to mimic this functionality via a plsql scirpt "code unit"?_
Thanks,
Hayden
Edited by: hszero on Nov 4, 2009 7:29 AM

There is no such thing as PL/SQL scripts.. as PL/SQL is not a scripting language. It is formal structured procedural language with object orientation features.
It's a mistake to think of any structured procedural language as a mere scripting language.
Your requirement is unclear. What do you mean with "+in turn spawns the child request+"?
PL/SQL "+code units+" consists of packages, procedures and functions - or can be an anonymous block submitted from a client (this is typically used to call packages/functions/procedures).
It's a standard feature of structured procedural languages to have code units and have these calling one another - e.g. package calling a procedure which calls a function which calls a procedure.
If you are inferring some form of multi-processing or threading, then there are a number of ways this can be implemented in PL/SQL. By default PL/SQL does not support threads given the process architecture of process that executes the PL run-time engine. However, PL code can make use of Oracle's Parallel Query facility by using parallelised pipelined table functions. PL code can use something similar to the Unix "+fork()+"'ing model by starting "child processes" as DBMS_JOB processes. IPC (Inter Process Communication) between PL processes can be done using Oracle Messaging. Semaphores can be implemented via the DBMS_LOCK API. Etc.
There's a host of features that PL provide.. (including transparent integration with the SQL engine). Scripting language? Don't think so. Unless you decide to treat it as one in which case you are not leveraging any of the many powerful and flexible features that PL/SQL provides.

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.

How to accept multiple languages in a single report.

Hi,
We have a Web I report built based on universe(Oracle DB- Utf-8 codepage), In Data base tables there is a data with multiple languages. But when I run Web I report it is showing the data which is in english but data other than english is showing inverted "?". Could any one please suggest me how the data to be supported in all languages for the Web I report.
Thanks,
Mallareddy D.

You should be creating a universe using the table with filter utilizing a column which accepts a parameter value of language and shows the data in that specific language. This concept is already used in SAP standard audit universe which accepts language for any query and shows the data in that language.. The logic for the derived column for the table should look something like below Table.LANGUAGE = @Prompt(Select language)
