Text Elements

Former Member — Wed, 19 May 2010 06:28:35 GMT

Hi,

I have created a report in English language.

I have translated the text elements of Selection screen to German.

Original languge of the program is showing as EN.

But when I login in to Italian language (Say any language where text elements are not translated), text elements of selection screen are displayed in GERMAN Language. But the original language of the report is ENGLISH. As no translation of text elements in italian, Selection screen text elements should be displayed in ENGLISH language.

But here it is displaying as GERMAN Language.

Why this is happening?

Thanks and Regards,

Shravan.

Please check the default language.

Hello Shravan,

There 2 Possiblities

1. If the text elements on the selection screen are only translated in DE then it will always display it in DE as SAP treats if no lang translation found in that logon lang then it goes to DE Lang

2. If for e.g, if you do not translate it in DE and then Logon in Italian then it will display in EN , I mean Only EN Language Maintained

no translation at all then it will be seen in EN, but if you maintain it in DE then even if you logon in any other lang with no translation in that lang then it will be shown in DE only
