Web DynPro Internationalization

Hi everybody.
I'm now learning how to internationalizate my Web DynPro applications, but as I can see in the documents, after configure my xlf files I can only change language by configuring it in my Web Browser.
I suppose it has to be any api for changing language by coding whenever I want, isn't it?
Thanks in advance!
Alberto

Hi Brian,
try to Reload and Deploy your Web Dynpro project (right mouse click on the root folder). I have had a similar problem several times because I only used Deploy New Archive and Run. Furthermore, I would recommend you to close down all browser windows and clear your browser cache before retrying.
Step by step explanation:
1. Right mouse click on root folder
2. Select Reload
3. Choose Reload+Rebuild
4. Right mouse click on root folder
5. Select Deploy
6. Clear browser cache
7. Close all browser windows
... test your Web Dynpro application.
Hope it helps.

Web Dynpro Java Internationalization and backend ABAP function modules

Friends,
I have a requirement where I want my Web Dynpro Java application to support BRAZIL and CHINESE.
I have been through the sample programs and tutorials and I understand how to support my application in these 2 languages. The challenge I am facing is how to communicate the language to the backend code (ABAP function modules) so that the function modules can written language specific error messages and texts.
I searched SDN but could not find anything. Your help is appreciated.

Prashant,
When you are configuring JCo connection in WebDynpro Content Administrator, just left language settings blank for metadata connection (you may do the same for data connection). Now WD will supply language of currently logged-in user when obtaining connection settings from system landscape and you'll get necessary functionality.
By default locale of user determined by parameter sap-locale (sap-locale=de_DE for example), settings of user's browser and lastly preferences of user stored in UME.
Btw, BRAZIL (or Portugees for this matter) is not fully supported language by SAP, so R/3 side may be not translated or partly translated.

How to catch URL parameter from Portal URL in Web Dynpro iView

Hi All,
I have a web dynpro application running as a portal iView successfully. Now the client wants to make it internationalized with 7 languages. Currently they access the portal - and via role assignment they get to the portal tab with the wd iView. Now they want to send a parameter for the language key with the portal URL. So when they are typing in http://myportal.mydomain.com now they want to type in http://myportal.mydomain.com?sap-locale=de or so. My question is how can I catch this parameter in the WD application when it is running inside a portal iView? Is it at all possible?
I have written a very small application which is trying to catch a URL parameter named PARAM. The code I have written is the default one as below:
String paramValue = WDWebContextAdapter.getWebContextAdapter().getRequestParameter("PARAM");
When I run the application standalone and add the PARAM=something in last of the URL I can catch it. But when I create an iView and while previewing it I add the same PARAM value it is coming as null all the time. Same when I add this iView to a role and show it via role assignment in protal. Please help to let me know how to achieve this. I think if I can read the parameter value from Portal URL in the WD iView - then I can set it as the default locale of the application and then show language specific file to achieve internationalization.
Your urgent help will be highly appreciated.
Warm Regards,
Shubho

Hi Shubhadip
Even if you get the parameters, how do you internationalize your application? Are you not following the standard way as described in the following link. In this case you never need to capture any such parameter. This is done by the WD runtime automatically .
<a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp2005/helpdata/en/f4/d95664da179b4db731e21c2e470b72/frameset.htm">Internationalization of WD projects</a>
You can retrieve application parameters specified at the creation of iview by "adding parameters(with the same name as in iview application parameters) to the default plug of the Component Interface View of the WD application". "onDefaultPlug" method of the interface view controller you get these values as parameters, which you can save in the context node of component controller for later use.This is guaranteed to work.
But again this is not what you want exactly. You want the user to specify the value at runtime. If you have just 7 languages, you can create 7 set of iviews with different application parameter value indicating language key, and assign to 7 different set of roles, each representing one set of users with common language.
I hope you find a solution.

How to go for Internalization in Web Dynpros

Hi All,
Can any one provide me the steps for internalization in Web Dynpros.
Regards
DK

Hi DK,
Internationalization in Web Dynpro is very simple.
In your project, for each view, Controller, Simple Type, Message Pool there will be one .xlf will be created by default.
For Internationalization you just need to go that .xlf file and desired language.
For Example, View Name is TestView there will be TestView.wdview.xlf will be there. Just need to create similar file for language. (TestView.wdview_de.xlf). And in the test just add corresponding German.
Go to Internet Explorer Tools -> Internet Options -> Languages -> Add German (de).
Rebuild your application and then deploy. It will give your corresponding German Language.
For more information please go thru this link. It will be helpful.

Multilingual actions in Web dynpro

Hi
I created an application in web dynpro.In the starting project i given the default language as " American english".....
But now i want my screen to be displayed in French.
Please any one help me how to proceed.
Is it possible in Web dynpro or else is there any need to change the settings in the backend system...
Regards
Sushma

Hi Sushma,
Nothing to worry! Just make sure that you have translation teams with you! Translation teams are responsible to maintain various languges for the applications which you have developed. Actually this is a part of internationalization. there are .xlf files where in you can maintain various langauges text for your application and at runtime these applications will be converted to the the logged in langauge.
However just to give you an idea, please go through these links:
1) Re: id in xlf-File, is that id really unique
2) xlf File extension for Canadian French in Webdynpro java App in Internation
3) Re: internationalization in webdynpro java
I am sure this will help you! Please revert back in case you have any further issue,
Thanks and Regards

Translating Web Dynpro Standard Components texts ?

Hello
I am testing NWDW 7.0 SP3 and i want to make a Web application in my own language (Serbian, Serbo - Croatian).
I have found a lot of documentation about creating international Web Dynpro applications where developers can translate their own texts and messages, but i am interested in translating standard texts and messages in Web Dynpro components (Like months, errors in validation, etc.). How can i create my own MessageBundle.properties file for NW app server 7.0 and use it for my language, or maybe use some other translations and change only messages that i want in that translation?

Hi,
The Internationalization Service of the Web Dynpro Runtime Services supports this PropertyResourceBundle concept and allows easy access to the classes java.util.ResourceBundle and java.text.format. With the class com.sap.tc.webdynpro.services.sal.localization.api.WDResourceHandler, you can read the language-specific text elements using the following source code:
// Load the resource bundle u201CMyResourceBundle.propertiesu201D located
// in the package u201Ccom.sap.testu201D for locale set in the resource handler.
// Therefore, the resource handler also needs the classloader that has
// the package u201Ccom.sap.testu201D in its scope
resourceHandler.loadResourceBundle(u201Ccom.sap.test.MyResourceBundleu201D, this.getClass() );
// get the message of the u201Cpress saveu201D button
String saveMessage = resourceHandler.getString( u201Cpress_saveu201D );
Example of a Properties File
A properties file contains simple name/value pairs for a specific language ID, as the following example of a properties file ResourceTest.properties (generated automatically by the SAP NetWeaver Developer Studio) shows:
Resource bundle for Test
message pool
message.error1 = Runtime error
message.warning1 = You have to re-deploy your application!

Is there any thing to Compare PDK and Web Dynpro

Is there any thing to Compare Enterprise Portal PDK and Web Dynpro .
please inform me what is the role of PDK and Web Dynpro in a project.
i am just confused by the terms

Hi Krishna,
The PDK (Portal Development Kit) is especially made to produce portal content based on jsp using the htmlb library. With the combination of JSP and tag libraries, you can even separate the presentation from the logic. However, the use of HTML tags, JSP tags and Scriptlet code demand great discipline when you develop Web applications, as otherwise the advantages of separating the presentation from the logic quickly disappear.
Web Dynpro applications are able to run in a portal also, you can make use of features like portal eventing also (two Web Dynpro based iViews can communicate with eachother as well as two iViews built with PDK). Using the Web Dynpro Client for Java (a beta-version will be available soon) you could use the same application within a SAPGui-like environment also. The new development environment for professional User Interfaces follows the model view controller paradigm and goes a few steps further in UI programming, e.g.:
- Screen management and screen flow
- Automatic data transport
- Re-usability of Web Dynpro components
- Session management
- Internationalization
- etc.
Both development tools are available with the SAP NetWeaver Developer Studio.
Hope that helps.
Best regards,
Karin

Problem: Changing Language for Web Dynpro Java within NW Portal (i18n)

Hi Experts out there,
I hope all you had a nice Christmas and a big New Years Eve :)!!!
i got a challenge for you about WD Java and internationalization (i18n)
Here is the scenario:
We are using a SAP NetWeaver Portal 7.0 and my task is to implement some smaller Web Dynpro Applications.
These Applications must be i18n conform, so i just created (according to the corresponding WD Java tutorial) some ".xlf" files.
Okay...Everything is working fine. The user can log at the portal and the application is displayed in his language, which is "english" or "german". (the application is just a simple form)
So far so good...Now here comes the point where it's getting tricky...
When the user wants to change his assigned language (of the portal user) he can use the "personalize" button in the Masthead (-> change portal language). All the portal content should now be displayed in his new chosen language.
For example the user is logged into the portal with "german" as portal language and now changes his languages settings into "english". After this everything in the portal (navigation, portal iViews ) is displayed in the changed language (from english into german) ...
BUT: my Web Dynpro Java Application stays as the original languages setting was. That means the whole portal is now english, but my WD Java Appl. stays german .
Only if the user logs of and logs in again, the WD Java Appl. is displayed in the corresponding portal language...
VERY Strange?!?!
Can anybody give me a hint how to solve this problem?
I guess i have to re-initiate the Web Dynpro Application some how ...(like killing the application and restarting it ...) but is just a "weak guess"...
Any Help / Hint is more than welcome !!!
Cheers
Stefan

Hi Stefan,
This correct see SAP Note [947081|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/947081]
If the locale for the Web Dynpro iView is changed in the portal (through portal personalization), this is not reflected in the running login session. The user needs to logoff and login again, in order to see the locale change in the Web Dynpro iView.

Leo

Hi Nilesh,
Try opening Visual Admin if your not able to login with username(administrator) and password. Problem with NWD2004s do the following steps.
C:\usr\sap\J2E\JC01\j2ee\configtool->configtool.bat->open it
1. Click on Secure store
2. Right you will find :
admin/password/J2E->retype your admin passowrd which you gave during installation=>SAVE properly
Restart the server and try login visual admin
Deploy now...Other wise see this thread same error solved:

Open and close a PO in web dynpro in SRM 7.0 screen .

Hi All ,
I am creating a PO in SRM 7.0 by using excel upload via web dynpro screen .
After the upload , I see that there are some problems with the PO in web dynpro .
For example , when i click on the line item it dumps and there are some other similar problems .
When I save the PO close it and reopen it , the problem goes away . May be the system handles them in some way
So , is there a way in which I can close and reopen the po through coding ?
I know there are buttons at the top that close the PO , but some how I could not get the code for that .
I will really appreciate the help here .
Thanks in advance ,
Ambar Patil.

Hi...
By first instance, i think that problem may be with uploading from excel. because sometimes excel data conversion will not done properly. So due to incorrect values, PO may go into dump.. that is my thought.
if not lets wait for others answers

I'd suggest that you try the download/upload functionality as such:
1. Create a new PO from portal (just select a PO type and launch the PO creation screen without further editing)
2. Save the PO on the web
3. Click "Export" and save the XLS file onto your PC
4. On your PC, edit the XLS file to fill more PO information as needed
5. On the web, click "Edit" (of the same PO)
6. Click "Import" and upload the XLS file you just updated

Error - Creating a Web Dynpro Application Accessing ABAP Functions

Dear All,
we are trying to implement a web dynpro application with accessing ABAP functions.
Previous tasks:
- insert the ABAP system into the SLD from the NWDI System (Transaction RZ70; the ABAP system is correctly insert into the SLD => technical systems)
- equipped the JCO connections with the web dynpro content manager (ping and test = OK)
Its the standard tutorial out of the SDN called Creating a Web Dynpro Application Accessing ABAP Functions.
Some hints:
- There are no errors after the implementation and the rebuild of the project in the NWDS
- The auto deployment works fine to the development runtime system. The application is shown in the Web Dynpro content manager
- The In the build log I found these entries:

There two different URLs in use.
Start via NWDS:
http://frasapp562:50000/webdynpro/dispatcher/J08_Flugdat_Daventdcflight~xxx.com/FlightListApp
Start via web dynpro content manager:

For test purposes, we started the BAPI (BAPI_Flight_Getlist) on the ABAP system directly. It works.
Any ideas about the system behaviours (different URLs and missing functionality)?
Thanks a lot in advanced!

Error While uplaoding a EXCEL file in Web dynpro - HR_KR_XSTRING_TO_STRING

Hi,
I am getting an error while uploading an excel file in web Dynpro application. i am using the HR_KR_XSTRING_TO_STRING this function. I am getting the following error message 'Unable to interpret as a number'.

First of all, are you sure you know what you are working with here. If this is standard Excel file in the Microsoft binary/propriatery format there is not function module or class in ABAP that can magically just transform this to a character string. You should search the forums as this has been discussed extensively. On that topic, please also do not post duplicate threads. I have already locked your other thread with the same basic question.
Instead of the binary/propriatery format of Excel, the file should be saved on the client as a text based format - like XML or Text Tab Delimited. You can then use several different options on the server to convert the XSTRING to STRING and process the content (becuase it was text based to begin with). You could use CL_BCS_CONVERT, the function modules in the function group SCMS_CONV, or the class CL_ABAP_CONV_IN_CE.
