Internationalization of Webdynpro Applications

[Former Member]

Hello Everybody,

I have some doubts regarding Internationalization of Webdynpro Application:

1. I have developed one application in webdynpro. This is running in production properly. Now, I want to make it Language independent.

Can I achieve this without changing the existing code of the application? Are there any configuration changes by which we can make existing apllication language independent?

2. From where can I fetch the list of all the languages supported by WAS.

3. Is WAS unicode compliant?

Hi Bhavik,

Regarding Internationalization of WD Applications, probably if you go through the following link you can implement it.

If you would not at all change the current application, i mean Views or their Resource Texts then i think it is not possible to have different language options. Or you would have to programmatically change the context for each label / text on ur GUI which makes no sense.

You can set property of the WD Application (right click on WD application, select EDIT, on App Properties Tab click New and Browse, u can set the 'DefaultLocale') as the default language and other langauges are to be served by copy + pasting ur views with names like (ViewName.wdview.xlf, ViewName_en.wdview.xlf, ViewName_de.wdview.xlf etc).

Hope this helps you. Please let us know how you could solve it.
