You can't change the language in the smartform, the main language of the smartform is the language used to create it (so the language used for SAP log on.

But u can translate it (by trx SE63) and if u need to print in a new language u have to indicate it when the smartform is called.

U can transfer the language to be used for the print in the parameter CONTROL_PARAMETERS, like structure SSFCTRLOP, here u can indicate the language in the field LANGU.

see this..

Use transaction SE63, after activate your smartform, to translate.

In the First Page of your Smart Forms click on Global Settings under that click Form Attributes

now in the Right side screen Go to Subscreen Language Attributes.

select the Radiobutton Translate To all Languages

from the Translate subscreen out of three radio buttons.

Hi kaushik,

language translation can be done in se63.

we can change the text into other languages..but for fields(values), we need not change bcos it retrieves data directly from the fields of data base tables into any other language..

before translating in se63 we create a text module in particular language say english with required fields and text and we translate it into chinese.and on saving, the changes will be reflected in the output..

if any more quiries pls let me know..

reward if helps..

thanks.

Hello all,

Does anyone know if a language needs to be installed to be able to use it in a form (sap script or smart form)?

We are going through a new implementation and are wondering whether we need to load all the languages for which we want to print forms.

We will only use the system in English but will have to print certain document in local languages, eg tax report in Italian.

Thanks in advance for your help.
