Smartform print in different languages

[ritika_9878]

Hello all,

How can I print same smartform in different languages like an user manual.

I need to print smartform in both en and de lang at same time..

Please guide me.

Thanks in advance

• First you declare (at least) the two languages in the smarforms attributes (Form Attrubutes, Language Arributes)
• Translate any required texts of Smart Forms definition (SE63 or connect in the two language and maintain the form) and don't forget any include texts, any READ_TEXT call, etc.
• Then call the Smart Form FM twice changing only the language parameter (CONTROL_PARAMETERS-LANGU)
• You could also try to merge the two calls in a single spool request or pdf file. Use parameters NO_OPEN (2nd call) and NO CLOSE (1st call)

One option: open the session, set language EN, print, set language DE, print again, close session.

Another option would be having the form already in two languages at the same time: though internally objects have only one master language, you're of course free to write "DE" text in a "EN" form and viceversa.

The second option is the best from far 😉

it depends on the context: if you also have to print (and maintain) each language individually or in a different combination, I'd rather have the single-language form and print it twice.

I will execute once this SF. But it will print in two lang

ritika_9878 I would try to change the way this Smart Form is called, instead call it twice, once per language, and assemble the two form outputs. But to do that, of course, you need some good level of ABAP.
