Hello Raveen,

SAP ME is internationalized. It means that user interface text within the application can be displayed in one of many different languages. At the same site, each user can control the display of user interface text by selecting a desired language for the browser. Because the language setting is controlled at each client system, SAP ME can support multiple languages simultaneously.

As to the locale specific settings, they are configured by JVM settings according to the installation guide.

So, I don't see a big effort needed to set up plants in different countries.

Regards,

Alex.

Hi Alex,

Hi Jai,

Yes, they are still valid. You can check it on Languages tab, not on General.

Hi Alex,

I dont see the language tab there, I have got a Globalization overview pdf doc for SAP ME 5.2 and there in language support I dont see Russian ,Can you please confirm why there is difference. Is this something to do with service pack on ME?

Thanks,

Jai

Hi Jai,

The Language tab is available for me on PAM for ME 5.2, but not for ME 6.0. Anyway, those languages are supported for each Service Pack of ME 5.2.

Would you please provide a link to that Globalization pdf, so I can check it?

Thank you,

Alex.

Hi Alex,

I am able to see only 3 tabs General, Database platform and Web browser platform. Well, i did got this from one of my colleague and I am not aware about the link but i guess it should be available in Knowledge exchange or SAP Online knowledge Products for SAP Manufacturing on service market place.

If you can find and confirm this, would be very helpfull.

Thanks,

Jai

Jai,

I just have checked Russian for SAP ME GUI and it works fine. You can find all locale specific settings (including Russian) in installation guide.
