Hi,

when you use the syntax INCLUDE in sapscript, you could set the language with the command LANG. Have a look to the SapScript documentation.

Example from the help.sap.com :

/: INCLUDE MYTEXT

The text MYTEXT is included in the language of the calling text.

/: INCLUDE MYTEXT LANGUAGE 'E' PARAGRAPH 'A1'

The text with the name MYTEXT and the language E is included, regardless of the language of the calling text. The paragraph format A1 will be used as the standard paragraph type for this call.

For the currency what is the problem ?

the decimals positions could be manage with the WRITE ... CURRENCY.

the conversion must be made by SAP itsel, but you could use the function CONVERT_TO_LOCAL_CURRENCY.

Hi Vinoth,

You can use multiple languages in a Script,

but while entering description of any particular language you have to log on in the same language .

To print currencies you can move the currency value to a variable.using WRITE <var> to <var1> CURRENCY (USD)or (any other value) and later use this var1 in your sap script.

Hi,

You can translate your SAPScript to the languages you reuire in :

Adminstrative DATA-Language Attributes-

Translate - To Languages..

Choose yourlang. and translate your script...

Then you can translate text elements in SE63.

USE SE63 or SE71 to create Form in diffent lang.

OR u can use SO10(i.e. standard TExt) . That Standard

Text u have to maitain in diff. lang.

It should be used in SAP script.

U can use currency different country for that purpose u

have to SET Country command.

U can use OY01 Tcode.

Hi,

You can use a variable to store the language. If you are using your own print program you can define this variable in it. If the print program is a SAP standard program, you may define this variable in the SAPscript form (SE71).

e.g. define a variable VARLANG like sy-langu.

Assign to this variable the language you want to print to:

VARLANG = NAST-SPRAS.

when calling the include text use:

INCLUDE ZINCLUDE OBJECT TEXT ID ST LANGUAGE &VARLANG& PARAGRAPH PF

If your SAPscript uses a large number of include texts (created from SO10), this is the recommended approach. But if your SAPscript form has texts directly hard-coded (i.e. without use of include texts), I suggest that you should use the SAP translation utility (SE63) to translate your form.

I hope this solves your problem.
