Fiori Launchpad Does not consider SU01 default Language

Hi,

===================================

Update 23-June-2022

Fiori Launchpad in FES 2021 provides a settings for end-users to define the Default Language.

This settings is found under Me Area > Settings > Language & Region.

===================================

Based on the help.sap.com article the FLP default language is supposed to be picked in the following order:

1. Language in URL

2. Default Language Maintained in SU01

3. Default Browser Language.

Setting Language Preferences for the Launchpad

I am trying to setup the system for the type 2 from the list above.

Reason: In production systems when SSO is used to log into FLP the users do not have an option to switch between languages or chose their default preferred language.

Issue: When I execute FLP the default from SU01 is not picked and it is always English (since the browser default is English). If I change the browser default to German; FLP will be loaded in German.

I have checked SICF the default language is not maintained for ushell:

SU01 Default:

The FLP URL:

https://<server>:<port>/sap/bc/ui5_ui5/ui2/ushell/shells/abap/FioriLaunchpad.html?sap-language=&sap-...;

For me the priority that it is taking is:

URL parameter > Browser Language

Instead of what is mentioned in the help.sap.com -- URL parameter > SU01 > Browser Language.

Thanks and kind regards,

Sagar

Where is it that the language you expect is not showing? There are different causes for this, such as SM59 destinations can cause data from the backend to come in a different language if the language is specified there, and I believe i18n files are selected based on the browser, not the values shown there.

If you change the sap-language parameter in the URL or user setttings, doe it show as expected?

Does the expected language show in the user settings of the launchpad?

*note, you should leave the language in SM59 destinations blank if you want the language to be dynamic/based on user instead of always being the same language.

Hi John,

I guess i should have put a screenshot of the FLP homepage 🙂

The Issue is: When I log into FLP using SSO (which means i don't have access to the login page) - I see my FLP homepage (tiles etc) in English Language. Whereas in my SU01 I have set Germane DE as my default language.

URL: https://<server>:<port>/sap/bc/ui5_ui5/ui2/ushell/shells/abap/FioriLaunchpad.html?sap-client=370#She...

For me the priority that it is taking is:

URL parameter > Browser Language

Instead of what is mentioned in the help.sap.com -- URL parameter > SU01 > Browser Language.

Kind regards,

Sagar

I'm reviving this unanswered question.

An SSO redirect into FLP, always sets language to EN. Can anyone tell me why Launchpad is not using the user preferred language from the backend, like it's supposed to?

Thanks

Hello Ramin,

FLP uses URL then Browser settings for default language.

The new FLP in 2021 provides to override this behavior in the user settings section.

Hello Sagar,

We have a similar situation where post SSO the Browser language gets precedence than SU01.Basically what we are looking for is based on SU01 language of the user the language should be defaulted.

Did you get any solution on this?

Hello Femin,

Unfortunately, The preference goes > URL to Browser Settings (Full Stop). With the new Fiori launchpad in 2021 they have introduced language into user settings popup. this Can help resolve your issue.

Kind regards,

Sagar
