Language Issue WD Application

[Former Member]

We have a WD application that uses an RFC that accepts a language parameter. Now, testing the RFC directly in the ABAP stack, it displays the data correctly (for both EN and PT) -- but for the portal, it doesn't.

IWDClientUser user = WDClientUser.getCurrentUser();

IUser usr = user.getSAPUser();

locale = user.getLocale();

if (locale != null) {

syslang = locale.getLanguage().toUpperCase();

}

Basically, this is where the app gets the language to pass to the backend RFC.

More background:

1) There's a unicode-release that have affected backend data including langauges

2) For DEV and TEST boxes, it's working fine --

3) The personalization language and browser language was configured correctly.

Help please? What other areas do I need to look into?

Thanks!

Hi Jan Michael,

in the portal the language switch does not work. That mean, if you start the WD in a language and you wan to change that language in the runtime, it will not work.

You must switch the language logout and login again. Then you get the right language.

Hi Gunter,

I believe we have already tried that as well.

But I really appreciate your input.

Thanks!
