Internationalization (I18) in a Non-Unicode System

Former Member

Hi,

     We have existing WD ABAP Applications and they display the data in English language. The client wants the data to be displayed in Spanish for some viewers. I have tried converting the text using the OTR, but am unable to convert the languagte from English to Spanish. I came to know through our basis team that the system is Non-Unicode, i.e it supports only English Language. Can that be the reason behind the non conversion of the text from one language to another ? If so, plz suggest how can we achieve our task.

Cheers!!!

Hi Umang,

this depends on the code page setup of the ABAP system. If it is implemented as Latin-1 (Western European code page) system, then Spanish should work as well (however Unicode would be the recommendation).

However I am not sure what you mean with "Conversion" ? Usually customers install the language and then they are capable to login in that language ...

Best regards,
