PO printing in two languages Chinese & English

Question

Hello everybody:
Previously, we print out purchase orders in Chinese, and the
communication language in all vendor master datas are all maintain as
ZH - Chinese. But from now on, we want chinese and english texts both
should be printed out in the same PO. We have adjusted the printing form
which is designed by SAPscript.
The problem we are facing is:
For english texts printed in purchase order, the line break does not
happen word by word, but cut word straightly into new line. Below is an
short example:
Transportation condition: All goods should be conveyed by FLIGHT.
Now we get the print out as:
All goods should be con
veyed by FLIGHT.
When we change the communication language in vendor master data into
EN - English, the problem disappears.
My question is, is there any way, except to change communication
language in vendor master data, to avoid this problem?
Thanks.
Andy

Hi,
Another way is to change the printing program as follows: for example,
ALL FUNCTION   'READ_TEXT'
        EXPORTING  OBJECT    = OBJECT
                   NAME      = NAME
                   ID        = ID
                   LANGUAGE  = LANGUAGE
                   LOCAL_CAT = LOCAL_CAT
        IMPORTING  HEADER    = HEADER
        TABLES     LINES     = LINES
        EXCEPTIONS OBJECT          = 1
                   ID              = 2
                   LANGUAGE        = 3
                   NAME            = 4
                   NOT_FOUND       = 5
                   REFERENCE_CHECK = 6.
Normally the standard program will take the language key from table EKKO-SPRAS, you can change the printing program to take the value from condition record table NACH-SPRAS. It would solve your problem.
Hope can help you!
