Based on customer language my client want to display invoice smartform

[Former Member]

Hi Gurus,

I have the requirement like this,

My client want to display invoice smart form based on the customer language.How to archive this requirement. Please can any one help me out.

I used SE transaction code also.(language in translation)

Hi,

This can be achived by maintaining different smartforms for example form 1 english

form 2 german, make neccesary language translation for both the forms using standard text SO10 or maintain any database table with language key specific text and use if condition to extract data and to display in the forms.

and put condition in the driver program

Example

i.e. if SY-LANGU = 'DE' ( SAP login language)

print smartform 2 german.

else.

print smartform 1 english.

No you cant display the language dynamically without knowing how many languages are reqd.

the sap system doesnot maintain the translations, but you have to maintain them manually, so you must be knowing how many languages are reqd.

Maintain all language delendant texts as texmodules and call them in your smartform

Example : For german customer i want to display in german language how to do that .

for Netherlands customer i want to display in Netherlands language how it is possible. Is it required additional code for that. I am using sap standard program and modified sap smart form.

Please help in this case.

As i told create text modules for all the texts in your smartform, give the language as nast-spras, as nast structure ust be coming through your form interface.

if you want customer language and if kna1 data is coming in your form you can use kna1-spras as language key

the nast spras will act as a language key.

Now go to -> SE63->translation->other long texts-> forms and styles-> SSF

Now give your text module here and provide translation for all the languages reqd.

Make sure that the text modules whose translation u are giving are include in your CTS, as providing translation doesn;t ask for CTS so u need to add texts manually, if reqd.

Hi,

Yes, you cannot display the language dynamically without knowing the required languages.You can copy the forms into different languages and make neccesary language translation which are required and in the driver program put the condition.

example

selection screen

Invoice 00001 To 2000

Logic

IF Sy-langu = 'DE'.

call FM 'FORM1'

ELSE IF sy-langu = 'EN'.

call FM 'FORM2'.

ENDIF.

and also this forms must be viewed in the relevent SAP Login languages otherwise some of the special characters will not display.

Hi Srinivas,

There is no need to call two seperate forms for displaying them in multiple languages,

according to your logic, if the customer wants form in say 5 languages then you would have to have 5 forms which is not a good way to do implement.

You need to specify a dynamic language key so that it picks up the appropriate translation based on the key, try giving &nast-spras&

nast-spras will have the language with which output type is processed, if its not same as customer language, then try to check which stucture has customer language, do you have the kna1 data available in your smartform?

Hi,

I thought this would be different indiviual language specific smartforms, if same invoice to be displayed in different languages then can use standard objects to translate and display.

First of all , all your language specific texts should be text modules or include texts, no text elements must be there.

In the smartform, specify the language for all texts as nast-spras.

Now translate your text modules using SE63.
