Languages to be loaded for printing forms

[Former Member]

Hello all,

Does anyone know if a language needs to be installed to be able to use it in a form (sap script or smart form)?

We are going through a new implementation and are wondering whether we need to load all the languages for which we want to print forms.

We will only use the system in English but will have to print certain document in local languages, eg tax report in Italian.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi Nadia, AMAAAII!

I found a nice link that states that you must install other languages in order to be able to use them.

-snippet-

The language environment that comes with the standard SAP installation includes German and English. To use SAP with other languages, you must perform a language import or supplement (use transaction SMLT). Changes in the language environment usually require changes in the codepage setup, which requires changes in some database tables and in the profile files.

Here's the whole article:

Alles goe verder? Salukes!

Dag Ron,

Alles heel goed en met u? Long time no hear. Bij welke klant ben je op het ogenblik?

Hoe gaat het met vrouw en boy? Soms ga ik nog eens loeren naar je weblog, is al een groot baasje geworden hé.

Ik zit in Leuven bij Telindus, nadat ik Callebaut had verlaten was ik bij Agfa in Antwerpen beland. Ben nu hier bij Telindus sinds mid januari. We gaan een nieuwe SAP implementatie doen.

Tot laters hé, daaag, Nadia
