Hi Sadeq!

I have questions for you:

Your system is unicode? (Necessary);

Do you use Arabic language key on login? (sy-langu = AR).

Do you use standard LOCL printer?

Hi Raphael,

Yes its a Unicode system,

Login language is only English,

Yes LOCL printer,

Script Form is in English and for just 2 or 3 Arabic fields we don't want the form to be built in Arabic language

Please provide some input if possible,

Thanks,

Ahmed

Hello

Can you see if following SAP notes are helpful

Note 1108855 - Mixing non Latin 1 and ASCII (English) content

Note 1280236 - RTL languages not known to the SAP system: Only the languages Hebrew (HE), Arabic (AR)

Hi sadeq !

Interestingly, I see the community's assistance as the Arabic language in SmartForm, interesting to have only two fields (At least for me ). So I would advise you to take a look at SPAD and find what type of device it is assigned (Probably should be the type "SAPWIN / SWIN"). Worth a test by changing it to the value "SWINCF". Can you do that?

Thanks Raphael,

I have change the device type in SPAD and issue is SOLVED as i created SAP SCRIPT in AR Language.

Thanks

Hello Sadeq,

I am also facing issue to print material text in Arabic in Smartforms.
.We have a requirement to print material text in English and Arabic both. I have maintained text in Material master in both languages, but now I don't know how to proceed further. can you help me in this matter.

What are primary requirements in our SAP server or in my PC. do we need to install Arabic font in both of these ?

I am facing issue to print material text in Arabic in Smartforms. We have a requirement to print material text in English and Arabic both. I have maintained text in Material master in both languages, but now I don't know how to proceed further. can anyone help me in this matter ? My SAP Logon Language is EN and smartform created in language EN. What are primary requirements in our SAP server or in my PC. do we need to install Arabic font in both of these ? when I am printing this material description with language = AR in Smartform it is showing fonts in ENGLISH. How can I convert it in Arabic fonts ? Regards, Archana

Hi,

Firstly,  you can find the language for the smartform in IS_NAST-SPRAS.  You then use this to lookup the material description in MAKT.  You should not need to install arabic on your server or your local pc.

Have a look at Unicode Printing Solutions for SAP - ABAP Development - SCN Wiki  with respect to Cascading fonts.

For a smartform, you have to do the translations using SE63. Enable Arabic language for Smartform.

For a script, you need to open the script in AR language and key in the Arabic text.

The issue we had was Arabic prints right to left, but arabic fonts solved the problem.

Hi,

You'll find that in Smartforms when you tell the Smartforms that it is to print in any RTL language not only does the font change and also become right justified but also any columns in tables are transposed so:

COL A	COL B	COL C
1	A	X
2	B	Y

becomes

COL C	COL B	COL A
X	A	1
Y	B	2

automagically which I thought was quite smart.
