SAP travel and expense language issue

[Former Member]

Hi ,

We have travel and expense application currently running.

We are supporting that the user can use his browser language to view the content on the travel and expense application.

The problem occurs only on IE 7.0 and higer and also in firesfox 3.0.

We are on SP15 where sap supports IE 7.0.

When the user selects the international version of the language in IE 7.0 or IE8.0 like fr-FR or de-DE or es-ES it gives german by default for any language selected.

But if we select country specific language which like fr-CA or es-AR it works fine and shows the right language.

We have set our JCO language to be empty for using browser langauge.

We do not have user profile language enabled on the portal so users cannot set their language other than in the portal.

The links on the area group page show in right language.

The problem is seen when the user clicks on create expense report link and is in the webdynpro application.

I have opened an OSS note for this.Could anyone test the same scenario on your browsers on portal with version 7.0 having the same issue.

Regards

Hi Swati

Please clarify what is meant by "international version" of the language - which exact option is selected in IE do you mean

German (Germany) [de]

French (France) [fr]

Why is it not an appropriate solution to select country specific locales in IE

Thanks

Stuart
