Is possible change supplemental language after few years?

[Former Member]

Hi

I found beautiful article about language.

http://scn.sap.com/thread/851250

I gave task our SAP administrator to set supplemental language. Because he don't know about SAP nothing, he moved this task to our SAP support.

SAP support give me answer - "is not possible change supplemental language" post facto. Because language was installed and set 15 year ago.

Is possible change supplemental language after 15 years? (Sorry for question, but I need proof if is possible. I think this is possible.)

Thank you

Hi Smoula,

as I wrote in the link you provided - supplementation language cannot be changed in SAP standard. Reason for this is that every time you do a supplementation run, texts are copied from the supplementation language to the target language - and these texts cannot be deleted afterwards.

In theory one could change database entries and change the supplementation language, but this would result in a mixture of 3 languages: Original language, old supplementation language and new supplementation language. Hence  I would not recommend to do it ...

Best regards,
