Fiori Launchpad Does not consider SU01 default Language

[sagarmehta]

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

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
