Dear experts,
My aim is that i should be able to see smartforms from language EN to Urdu.
I have certain doubts to proceed.
1. Will i need to make my SAP ECC 5.0 Unicode enabled ?
2. If step 1 says "yes" does this mean applying all patches related to unicode systems.
Tuning all my Z programs to unicode.May be 2,3 extra things for standard programs too.
Further learning how to program in unicode system.
3. If step 2 says "yes" do i need to carry out so many laborious activities merely to see few urdu words
on my smartforms. This is my first question.
Second question is keeping my system intact and just installing urdu language
on client will solve my purpose or not ?.
I am puzzled and dont know what to do .
Hi,
1. yes
2. You need to do a Unicode conversion. This includes
a) ABAP Enabling
b) Export / Import of your systems in the landscape
c) Testing your Business scenarios
Meaning that this is a project in many cases comparable to an upgrade.
3. Yes, URDU is a "Unicode-only-language" - meaning that the language key can be only used in Unicode. In addition, the URDU characters can be only used in Unicode systems. The same statement is valid for Vietnamese, Hindi, ... etc.
Please also check SAP notes 73606, 1322715, 920085 and 895560.
Best regards,
Nils Buerckel

Thanx for reply.I find the links quite informative.What if we have to install Arabic ?.
Can i separately install this language on my ECC system.Will i need to make my system unicode ?.
Will i need to change all my abap programs compatible to unicode ?.
Idea is only installing Arabic will solve my purpose or not ?.I do not want to store arabic in database.
I only want in form printing,
I will be glad if someone can throw some light on this part.
