unable to find package while installing language

Dear All,

I am trying to install the Arabic language, when i try to give the path to locate the .pat file from the language DVD it is not recognizing ,

and it says could find .sar or .car file,

our Operating system is HPUX ,

i have installed the language successfully on windows server,

but when i am executing the same steps in unix server its not recognizing the package.

hey hi,

Did you get solution..

I am also facing same issue..

SMLT do not accept .PAT file while loading through frontend and I am unable to find .SAR file for language as  material extraction results in .PAT file.

How do you install the package? Do you use transaction SMLT?

Which path do you enter in the field if you import the package? The path must be a Unix path and point to the installation on the SERVER (not on your Windows machine).

Langauges are not in EPS in but are installed from the CD/DVD. Copy the CD/DVD locally and give that path instead (LANG1 - LANG6).

i copied .PAT from the DVD and pasted under EPS -->in,

then i gave the path, but still it is not recognizing the path

Do NOT copy the singe files but the whole directory structure, the system searches for specific LABEL.ASC and a specific structure.

Dear Markus,

Thanks for your helpful reply,

It could load the language, but after importing the status is in Gray color diamond symbol ,

when i check the logs all the transport has been done successfully, but with few warnings,

any suggestions on this.

Regards,

SM

Did you install support packages prior to the language installation?

Hi,

No i did not install any support package prior to importing language.

does it require any support package...?

No.

Installing a new language involves several steps:

- importing the language

- substitute language

- copy to production client

If you have had already supportpackages installed the sequence would have been:

- importing the language

- install support package language dependent parts

- substitute language

- copy to production client
