Smartform Not printing in German (DE), its only printing in English (EN).

[Former Member]

Hi,

I have a smartform for which the original language is German (DE) and it'll be used in English (EN) too. So, I have made the changes in German (DE) and later used SE63 to translate to English (EN); transported it to Quality for testing.

Here, in Quality when I am testing it in English (EN), its working perfectly fine and the output is displayed in EN. However, when I am logging into quality system with DE language and testing the smartform it's displaying me the smartform in English (EN) not German (DE). But, when I am checking the smartform in 'smartforms' transaction code (in display mode) the text is in German only.

I am really confused, please help.

Thanks,

Vishal.

Hi Vishal,

Even i had faced the same problem.

Irrespective of login language it was showing text in English. I was also using 'DE' language.

I just maintained the translations for that text in 'DE' through transaction se63.

And moved the Transport request to Quality.

In Quality when you login with 'DE' language, it will reflect your changes.

This is what happened in my case. Also same happened with other smartform in Chienese language also.

I am using VA23 T-Code

Hi,

Well, if you have maintained translations for the text in DE language also, it will definitely get reflected.

But only in qulaity.

T-code will not have any impact on text translation i suppose.

Hi,

use transactioncode VA22 (not VA23)

enter quotationnr. -> ENTER

goto --EXTRA's --> OUTPU --> HEADER --> EDIT.

Here you see the output you want to print.

Click on the one you want to print

Click on repeat. Type the language you want. (you get a message that the language is reset) -->ENTER

and save.

maybe this is enough for you

What is language you are passing while calling the smartform, check input structure CONTROL_PARAMETERS-LANGU.

Is there any hand-coding inside smartform which always point EN

Hi,

I guess, U should define the OUTPUT in Header in DE. if u define it in EN it will trigger the smartform in EN. it doesnt consider the LOGON language. it is purely dependent on LANGUAGE in OUTPUT definition..

Hi Pavan,

How do I define the OUTPUT in Header to be 'DE' ??

Thanks,

Put sy-langu into control_parameters-langu when calling Smartforms. But that should be the default value if you correctly define the languages list in the attributes of the forms. (Global Settings, list of languages)
