Internationalization: How to set the session locale manually

[Former Member]

Hello,

one more question from me.

So I have my Web Dynpro application and it gets the current language either from the user profile or the browser settings, which is fine. I can switch what String or image to display with a "getLocale()" call if neccessary, but can I also SET the locale? I want to be able to change the language for internationalization, f.ex. a German user should be able to view the page in English if he chooses to do so. Is there a way to accomplish this and if yes, how?

Thank you,

Lukas.

Hi,

you can set the Locale. means after getting the default you can overwrite this with the desire one.

But,your application is going to reside in the portal and in portal one Personalize link is present at the MasHead, in that User Profile link is present where user can reset few data regarding the user profile and Language is one of them.

So try to use that one,the scenario you are expalining for that no need to touch the code you can do directly from the personalize link coz this change is for time being.

Hope this may help you.

Hi,

I dont think Webdynro has any public API for this purpose.
