Mixed languages within EP

Former Member

Hi everybody.

We are working in a SAP HR project. The users access the content via SAP EP. The problem is that in our production environment, several contents of the portal appear in english, even if the use language is in spanish, catalan or french.

The masthead (Bienvenido username) and the toolbar (buscar -search- ) appear in the user language. However the navigation bar appears in mixed languages: all the 'content provided by SAP' appears in english (System Administration, User Administration ....) . The content we have added (HR iviews I think) is in the correct language

.

The Content area, for instance the iviews related with the editors of the portal content studio appear in english, but the navigation tree of the PCD is in spanish (not the upper tabs 'search' and 'browse').

I must say that in our development and integration environments we don't have that problems, but in that environments UME is not configured against ABAP.

Please, could you ask me to the following questions:

1) I understand that SAP EP installs al the supported languages by default, and there is no need to explicitely install spanish during the installation, or to activate spanish after the installation (property Master Language Services from the Locale Services).

2) I have checked the iView property forcedLanguageRequest for the UWL iView. It is in english, that makes sense. Unfortunatelly we can not change the language and it is also in english in the integration and development environments. Could it be overriden by a Delta Link, by a Page or by a Role or Workset ?

3) I think that the problem can be related to the ABAP UME configuration. However the changes on the user languages made in ABAP are reflected on the parts of the portal that are not in english, and the content provided by the HR on R/3 is also in the right language.

Thanks in advance.

Can you please specify exactly where you see the wrong language? I'm a little bit confused - first you talk of System Administration, User Administration and so on and now you refer to UWL... Maybe you can clarify this...

Anja,

all refer to all the "Content provided by SAP". That means things like 'Content Administration', 'User Administration' but also the 'UWL'. I mention explicitely UWL, because in our current project is the only 'standard' content used by the end user.

I insist also on the fact that the Masthead, and the toolbar area show the right language. The problem is on the navigation area and on the content area.

Thanks again.

Hi,

did you check the browser language of the user?

Cheers,

Thanks Anja.

I have already checked the browser language. According to the documentation, the rules to determine the language are evaluated in this order:

-ForcedRequestLanguage as attribute of the iView

-request.mandatorylanguage as PRT (portal runtime) property

-User language

-Request locale ( browser language)

-request.defautlanguage as PRT property

-System Default locale (explicitely set at the JVM or deduced from the Operating System)

As I said before, ForcedRequestLanguage is set to English. That could explain the behaviour, however it is also set to English in the integration and development environment, where we don't have that problem.

Please, could some Portal Admin, for a non english environment check what its set as ForcedRequestLanguage for the UWL iView ?
