HI,

I have created a BADI and an interface in R/3 release 6. I created the BADI in original language German, but by mistake I created the interface in Original langauge English.

Is there a way to change the original language of the interface to German? I tried editing and activating the interface in German logon, but it did not help as teh Original langauge of the interface remained as English.

Is there any SAP report which would help me to change the original language of ABAP objects?

Regards,

Srini.

Hi,

Here's the way out:

Step 0. Delete the object

Step 1. Delete the object directory entry(If it says entry doesnt exist, recreate it - ie. the object dir. entry)

Step 2. Login to the language of choice - In ur case 'DE'

Step 3. Recreate the new object

Voila!!! Original Language changed

Cheers,

Gaurav

Hi,

Try to use SE63 Transaction.

Go to the Menu Translation>R/3 Enterprise->Transport Object--->Give the Object directory entry of the BADI, Select Source and Target Language. Click on the Edit button.

I never used, but it may solve ur problem.

Hi Sudhakar,

It is used for translation. I am looking for some report which changes the TADIR entry for the langauge.

Hi Vijay,

Thanks for the reply.

I knew it would work .. but strangely it does not work for Interface within BAdi.

I had to delete and recreate the interface in language Deutch.

I am very much interested in this object. Y do we need to create BADI for interfaces. In my experience I have used exiting BADIs only I never crated. Could u explain complete object then we can go for better solution else we can learn from this object.

HI Gaurav,

Thank you for the reply.

I knew this would work, but this was the last option I wanted to try.

I was looking for some report which would change the language without deleting the object.

Did you try to logon in the language that you want to change the objects and change them? For DDIC objects this works (for example from SE11).

Kind regards,
