Language dropdown in Portal Masthead

[Former Member]

Is it possible to add a language dropdown in the masthead of the portal, wiht predetermined languages?

This would be for existing users to change language on the fly.

If possible, will it change the language in the user's profile?

On the same note, is it possible to verify on language in the MasterRule of the Portal?

I'm on EP7 SP09 ...

Hello Maurice,

What Ricardo said is correct. or you have one more option.

that is add eu_role to everyone group which will give you an additional link in Masthead the PERSONALIZE link along with log off and help link.

Clicking on that will give you different options, like changing the Portal Theme, and User Profile and other options.

Select the User Profile click on modify, go to language option and change the language to desired language.

Hope this helps,

Cheers-

Have a look at this one.

It is a feature that was introduced in EP7 SPS12. I don't know if a new SPS is an option for you.

Just wanted to mention it. And this feature is only for anonymous users. Don't know if that suits your needs.

I think language is no possible attribute in Rule collections.

Regards,

Marcus

Hi Marcus,

Did you find the solution of the Language dropdown in Portal Masthead.

Can you guide me to do that same?

Thanks and Regard,

Hi Maurice,

yes it is, and it's very easy... well, almost.

You will need to modify an SAP component named

com.sap.portal.navigation.masthead.par

... and there you will create your new object (the dropdown).

Of course you will need to code:

- the events

- how to render the dropdown (HTMLB for example)

- user validation and updating the user setting

This is a good link that gives you a brief intro on how to start developing your solution:

You can also check more on SDN, try searching for

Good Luck!

Kindest Regards
