Portal Language Settings

[Former Member]

Hi Guys/Gals,

This is quite puzzling (for me at least ). How can i set the language setting for all portal users to "English(UK)"? This is to control the date format on our ESS/MSS application to display in format "DD/MM/YYYY".

At the moment it's showing in format "MM/DD/YYYY". Our users are all mantained at the ABAP stack. We have tried to set the language settigns in SU01, but there is only 'english'. We have also tried the following:-

1) Set the following parameters in prtdefault

request.mandatorylanguage=en

request.mandatorycountry=gb

2) Set the following parameters in the J2EE server startup parameters

Duser.language=en

Duser.region=gb

Both did not work. Any ideas?

Thanks

Hi Najoh,

SAP note 947081 goes through all the settings that can affect the language (and therefore date setting) of an iview.

For ABAP users, you have to maintain the country setting as well - Address tab, Person box, "more fields" button, Format country (technical name NAMCOUNTRY).
